Because I Know You Care Deeply

  • Tim and I don’t like cleaning, but we love having a clean house. We go through cycles where we’ll clean, keep the house clean for a few days, and then the clutter will slowly build up again until we’re both at our breaking point and have to spend the better part of our weekend cleaning again. I know we could, in theory, do a little bit of cleaning every day (and I admire those of you with the dedication to do that!), but that’s just not our style. Luckily, we have about the same threshold of tolerance for how far we’ll let the clutter level go before we can’t take it any longer, so it’s rare that either of us is nagging the other about needing to clean. It’s a pretty good system for us.
  • My “Recent Reads” thingy over there on the sidebar recently decided to show a few random books that I did not in fact read recently. This is irritating to me, and I don’t know how to fix it.
  • I just used “recent” and “recently” way too much in that last bullet.
  • I have a new-to-me (gently used) chair at work, and it is so much better than my last one. It has armrests. And adjustable back support that actually stays in place when you adjust it. What a concept.
  • My favorite flip flops that I bought in Spain are starting to fall apart. I guess after 4 years of nearly constant use, it was bound to happen, but I’m still not ready to accept the fact that this may be the last summer they see.
  • I have 2 discs of pictures burned and waiting to be sent/delivered to people. There’s no good reason they haven’t been sent/delivered already except that I’m lazy. Maybe next time we clean house the CDs will get packaged up to be sent/delivered as part of de-cluttering the office.

    I gotta tell you that while the cleaning every day does keep the clutter away, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to keep it up! Some days, i just don’t want to clean. Not even a little bit.

    My favorite flip-flops (which are not from Spain) are starting to fall apart, too!! Sniff!

    My favorite flip flops are on their way out too. It’s very depressing.

    My Tim and I are the same way, except I do most of the cleaning and straightening up. He just liked to complain that we are too cluttered.
