Getting sorted!
It’s been a while since we did a deep clean of our house. I usually make the effort to do this twice a year, once at the start of winter (ready for Christmas) and again at Easter time. Occassionally, I manage to persuade those with time on their hands to join me, making it a family affair.
But as we’ve had a bit more spare cash, this time has been spent on travel, entertainment, and generally relaxing, doing nothing.
Which is great, until you realise just how much time in your day is spent “looking for” what-ever it is you cannot find. Like many, I have too many possessions and are running around like mad with the career and other commitments to take good stock of what we have.
As I haven’t taken much leave since Christmas, so this is my plan for the Easter fortnight. To get sorted.
My plan is to generally relax too, but just get on top of the cleaning, the little jobs that should be done every 4-6 weeks, and tidy up the belongings. I was going to go to the gym for workouts, but frankly house work of this nature burns 200-400 calories an hour – so the spa is my aim rather than the weights – especially if I cycle there.
On my search list are two things I haven’t yet found during this process. But I am hopeful they will turn up as everything else has.
Hope is always the guiding light that keeps us going when the grind of general floor and carpet washing is underway!
Oh, that light shade is looking very dusty…
