Egad. My house is a wreck.

Something Wicked
With a cool fresh gaze, I surveyed my domain this morning. And promptly lifted up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

I'll spare you the horrific details, but here's my to-do list:

  • Kitchen: Do dishes; clean counters and floors; put away clutter.
  • Master bedroom: Change sheets, dust furniture, vacuum carpet, put away clutter.
  • Master bath: Demolish and rebuild. Clean tub, shower, floors, and counters; put away clutter.
  • Living room: Dust furniture, put away clutter, vacuum carpet. Find someplace other than next to the fireplace to stash yarn and yarn-related items.
  • Hall: Spot clean and vacuum carpet.
  • Dining room: Put away clutter, vacuum carpet.
  • My office: Throw hands up in despair. Organize and put away clutter.
  • Spouse's office: Do not touch with a 49-1/2 foot pole. (The easiest one on the list, and the first accomplished. *beam*)
  • Laundry room: Wash, dry and put away an entire wardrobe's worth of laundry, put away clutter.

Beware, O ye dirt. Despair, thou soap scum, clutter, and dust bunnies. I am on a mission.
  • And the muse feels: determined

it's all those "put away clutter" bits that scare me the most. Put away WHERE, exactly? :))) You have my sympathy.

Ain't that the truth!

Actually, we've plenty of storage in this house, but have never properly organized our junk. Therefore, an item tends to sit in the spot where it was last used because it has no proper home.

That's been a tempting thought upon occasion...

It sounds like you are feeling better!
I sure hope so, anyway.

A productive day. Yippee!

Welcome to Avantaland

If the free-floating anxieties and everyday occurrences of a middle-aged government employee are of interest, please feel free to add me. Just comment and answer two questions:

1. How did you find me?

and

2. Do you walk to work or take your lunch?

Oh! One more thing: Many, if not most, of my journal entries are "friends only" which is why you might see just the silly memes and quizzes. And I often use friend filters when posting, too. Still, feel free to add me, and I may add you back with the understanding that un-adds may be done at any time by either party, with no hard feelings.

Thanks for paying me a visit!
