Picking a room today and spending an hour in it. Clean it, purge it, reorganize it. I promise to stay in ONE room.
My cleaning style has always been go to go from room to room. For example, I find something that needs to go into the linen closet. Linen closet could use some work. Start working on linen closet. I notice towels are missing. Hit the laundry room to get towels, laundry room needs tidying up. Notice floor needs mopping. Start to mop. And on and on and on. All rooms always have that work in progress feel.
Today, ONE ROOM.
Speaking about cleaning. I've taken a job cleaning a loft apartment in one of the trendier downtown districts. I usually go every other week. Unfortunately for me, all the surfaces are either glass, stainless steel, stone countertops, slate floors, stone and marble floors. Altogether a bitch to make it all shine. It takes me four hours minimum. I call it my workout. My body screams at me for days after it.
Speaking of body ache. I mentioned to Queen Maker that my body really ached from all that "exercise" cleaning that loft. He says his body aches everyday because of his training and exercise regime. You mean that this is how you WANT to feel, all the time? No wonder no one sticks with exercise.
Speaking about getting exercise. Sister After Me asked me what my free time looked like. She has access to a lake and wants to buy a raft. She's looking for a partner to paddle around the lake for exercise and fun. Random thoughts popped into my head.
Panic, life preserver, holes, leaks, shrinking raft, feet not touching bottom, a yellow flotilla of death, shifting uncomfortably to one side then the other trying to maneuver an oar, wet butt. The usual.
I think I'll pass.
Speaking about passing. I think it's time to pass the baton to the next blog at UnMom. So visit and read a while. It'll be a workout.

I think my wife is the same way. She tends to start somewhere and never finishes. We have marked off a room as the one to concentrate on and have vowed to stick to it.
The best of skill in concentrating on one room,
Yeah, I'm about to start my annual "one room" at a time thing in my house. I'll basically clean the whole place, but then take the house one room at a time to do the deep cleaning, spring sprucing up thing. It's the only way I can do it.
