a testament to this is the chaos into which my homestead has decended. it's been kinda awful. and i say that as a person who has a remarkably high threshold for disarray.
but, for some reason, the light works on me in those ways. so i cleaned my house. like, woah.
i discovered i will not need to purchase shampoo or conditioner for the remainder of the decade if i just use what i already have. i think i have a bit of an acquisition fetish...
i also did something that's been over a year in coming; i peeled the painters tape down off of the trim in my bedroom. if telepathy was possible, i would be projecting this information out into the mind of a particularly fastidious ex of mine. and i know it would make his day.
i cleaned dust out from places that have not seen the light of day since i moved in. i took the wood stipper and varnish out of my linen closet and put it in the storage room. i created a pile of laundry as high as my hip. i vacuumed out the INSIDES of cupboards and closets. i cobwebbed and disinfected and bleached and scrubbed every surface in the rear 3rd of my house. Only 2/3rds left to go!!
and yet the satisfaction of all of this flurry of activity is profound. and since i have no one to hug and kiss and smooch on this heart day, at least i can give myself a hearty pat on the back.
