Joy of Cleaning

February 18th, 2008 at 04:45 pm



Today is a lovely day to have off, thanks to dead presidents (however, recently read that presidents'--or is it president's--day was actually Washington's birthday, but has been co-opted to be for all presidents). I am using it to clean my house. In other periods of my life, mainly due to depression, on a day off, I would stare at the mess and think about how I needed to clean but would proceed to do nothing. Now, I rather enjoy cleaning the house and relish the moment when everything is finished. The master bedroom is picked up, organized and clean. On to other areas of the house, but first, feed my obsession of reading the blogs here.

    I too never liked cleaning. Due to laziness more than depression, and just not getting taught to do chores as a kid. (Bless my parents' hearts for spoiling me in that way, but they didn't do me any favors long-term.) Now I live with a neat freak with tons of energy, so I'm really trying to pull my weight. I had Friday as well as today off, and today I'm lazing around but Friday I cleaned all but one room in the place. And this morning I made the bed and picked clothes off the floor without even thinking much about it! I think I'm finally changing 30+ years of bad habits. And it is enjoyable to see it coming together.
