Ya ever start cleaning and end up making it WORSE???

[FirstLight]

I shouldn't have started in the Office, but I had to make room for stuff coming from the living room...

my built in bookshelf is no longer bolted to the wall... gotta find screws.
Had to throw out of MORE of River's crap... found a whole bin full of notebooks etc. have to actually go through them cuz she kept notes of money and I can use that for restitution... but ugh, she ranted like a crazy person, lists, she even wrote down my alcohol intake and stuff... it's gonna take a long time to get rid of her in this house
Found the drillset buried in the pile...now I can fix the shelf...

but now the living room is a battlefield and I haven't even gotten to the kitchen. LMAO

good thing I got pizza yesterday so I dont have to cook :nuts:

Playing the old 80's hair rock and busting ass - good stuff on a saturday

1. This is how you know you are doing a good deep cleaning.

It looks much worse before it looks better.

5. right???

Got the suitcase off the back orch too.. so I can pack her crap. Supposed to drop it off at the shelter on my way to seel the car...

meanwhile, need more l brackets for the damn shelf... gotta find the studs

I also found the old cess set form my uncle that he gave to one of my kids... yay! she didn't manage to throw away everything I had (she did major urge while I was working...lost a lot of memories)

so yeah...good purge

6. Cleaning is one of my least favorite activities, especially dusting.

We have 4 cats. With dusting and cats, 2 hour later you can't tell that you did.

I used to have a little sign that hung on the doorknob of my closet that said:

You may touch the dust,
But please don't write in it.

There have been times...

7. Yes!! Decluttering involves pulling stuff out of hidden places.

It feels good to haul stuff to donate

8. No

Once I start, I mean business.
Two days ago I noticed that something had spilled in the fridge.
Started to wipe it - moved a drawer and said to myself - you may as well
clean the entire fridge. Took about an hour and a half but it was worth it.😀

9. Try breaking a glass jar of barley malt on the kitchen floor

No matter what you do, you're going to make it worse.

It took hours of pouring boiling water on it and then mopping up what I could. I went through 4 mops before I stopped sticking to the floor. Much.

10. I just sat down from vacuuming

The whole house and mopping by hand 3 floors. All sweaty, who needs to jog?!

Had a bunch of trips to trash can to empty vacuum bag less thing filled with dog hair...

This is one time house looks better than worse but I look like spazzed senior...

[malaise]

11. Get a Shark steamer

I will never own another mop.
Vacuum, spread cleaner and steam.

[Intractable]

12. I have to remind myself to vacuum before I mop.
