Topic Tuesday #125 2014/12/09 - "Cleaning House"
There are some days no one wants to fold laundry, much less get it from seemingly all corners of the house and under the beds... and that chair in the living room... and the car... really how do they do it? Anyway... No one wants to always do these things and I would be willing to bet we have all let the piles mound up. I'm not saying I've done this, but sometimes it's less effort to just buy a change of clothes. That said, once in a while, when you feel that funk start to seep into the core of your being, you just have to bite the bullet and clean up, in earnest.
Today was an odd day at home waiting for the phone to ring and other shoes to proverbially drop. I decided a nap was a poor use of time, though desired all the same. With no interruptions... I could get some serious work done! I cleaned. I moved furniture. I dusted. I am still doing laundry. I folded and put away more things than I knew I had. The bed is made, the lamp shades and pictures straightened. All in all, the place looks like Someone else lives there. I like it. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. I have the pride of a job well done. I know where everything is, and hopefully it is in a better place than when I started. My feng has been shui-ed. Certainly some piles were moved and not sorted, but at least they are closer to, or in the place they belong.
As all parents know, life is a work in progress, and houses are meant to be lived in. I will always be fighting the entropy of chaos within my walls, but today was a good day.
