It must be the weather
I loved today. It has been thundering, lightning and raining almost all day.
I also had the urge to clean. All day. I did 6 loads of laundry, cleaned two bathrooms, cleaned the kitchen, ran the roomba in the living room and kitchen, cleaned out my bedside table to return books to bookshelves, sort through read mail, ditch magazines, put away lotion and dust, and dusted the living room, including moving things off shelves to dust behind and climbing to get to the top of the tv, made a grocery and recycling run. As soon as the kids go to bed, I’m going to steam clean the living room carpet. They go to bed as soon as I finish this and give Jay his bath.
Next up on Friday will be seasonal clothes cleaning. I will sort through the kid’s autumn clothes in storage, remove non fitting of the autumn and this summer’s clothes, and get new autumn/winter clothes that are still sitting in the shopping bag in my closet hung up. On Sunday, I’m going to do this for my closet. Awhile back, one of the closet drawers bent to a point that makes it not work. The basket for that is sitting on the floor, and I would like it fixed so my clothes are also not on the floor. Plus, all my off season clothes were hung down in the downstairs closet, when it was cleaned out, it was all shoved back into my closet, and I can’t get anything out or hang anything up without something else falling off. I’m going to take this opportunity to not just have Mac haul them into the attic. I’m going to go through all my clothes and decide if I really, really need it. For example, those monkey baby doll tees I bought 7 years ago? Am I really going to wear them again? I’m feeling a need to do a wardrobe rehaul, and surprisingly, I don’t see myself wearing half my monkey stuff anymore. I must be growing up–never thought that would happen. Plus, when you lose weight, suddenly shopping for new clothes is fun.
At the grocery today, Jay just started telling the checker and the person behind us stuff about our life. Like, “My sister Ada is in school” and “My daddy is at work” and “My mommy’s favorite color is green” and so on. I told the checker that this was why I was thankful that my life is pretty boring, as noted above, because Jay will talk. About everything.
