Spring Cleaning.. Part One
Mar. 7th, 2006 09:13 pmI'm sure my boss thinking I'm crazy but I took another day off today. I was up at my usual hour, but felt that I needed to start getting the house in shape a bit as my folks are coming to stay the night on Friday.
After skipping the gym, I felt bad, but I'm sure that I got more than enough exercise going up and down the stairs all day. I cleaned out two garbage bags full of old video cassettes of crap I had taped for the last ten years (of shows of which I had long bought DVD box sets). I'm sure the garbage guys loved picking those up today. I also bought a paper shredder so I shredded two large plastic bags full of credit card receipts I'd collected over the last five years. The most illuminating find in the bag was the Borders receipt from early 2003 for "The New Joy of Gay Sex." A part of me wished I'd kept that one.
I hung pictures in the spare bedroom, scrubbed the bathroom floor, replaced lightbulbs here and there, unclogged the kitchen sink, washed a couple of loads of laundry, and dusted just about everything. My house isn't a dump, I promise, despite how this sounds, but things had gotten a bit behind.
After all of this, I made dinner and crashed on the cleaned couch and watched several episodes of Rosemary & Thyme, Season Two (yeah, I broke down and bought it, with a coupon at Borders).
... don't I lead an exciting life....?
