So, there's no photos here because I'm wiped. I woke up today and went straight into a cleaning spree. Washed all the dishes, wiped down counters, put items on counters away. Cleared and wiped down center island which is where I found the source of our Mysterious Smell. That would be rotting onions in a … Continue reading Clean ALL the Things!

House Cleaning Is Like Tetris
Creatives will probably know what I mean (and most folks have one for bills), but I had enough energy this last week that I tackled THE Pile of Artwork (and hand written fiction) from my younger years. There was much groaning as I went through it because, wow, awful Fanfiction and Fanart galore! I started … Continue reading House Cleaning Is Like Tetris
Cleaning the Basement for the First Time
We cleaned our basement! Cleared out empty boxes and made sure that as much as possible was off the floor because we do have occasional trickles of water. Also made sure my emergency water supplies were on the BOTTOM instead of over things they could ruin! Here's a look: The basement came with the white … Continue reading Cleaning the Basement for the First Time
**Squee!** Husbandly Surprise
While I was at work on Friday, my husband was being a total sweetie. Remember I cleaned up, and I was very proud of myself? My husband was proud of me too. Too bad the tape made it look bad, right? **pause** Well, I came home to this: To refresh you, this is what it … Continue reading **Squee!** Husbandly Surprise
Manic Cleaning Spree
I was quite manic this week while my husband was out at a work meeting, and took it upon myself to clean our entryway. Fully. Completely. I swept, then dust mopped, then mopped again. With the Flylady's mop, which was SUPER NICE. Then I scooted around on my butt (I can't bend over) and scrubbed … Continue reading Manic Cleaning Spree
What, You Don’t Do This Too?
So, I've been following Flylady, and this has both made my house MUCH cleaner... and cracked my husband up a few times. I've ordered a few items from her site, namely a feather duster (ostrich feathers!) and an extra large mop. Oh, and a toilet scrubby, and a few cleaning cloths. Most of it was … Continue reading What, You Don’t Do This Too?
FlyLady and Cleaning My House
Normally, my house's cleanliness is directly related to my level of mania or depression. If I'm depressed it looks like it was hit by a tornado. If I'm manic it's picked up at least and dishes done, if not really clean. I don't like cleaning. And the only time I can convince myself to do … Continue reading FlyLady and Cleaning My House
Surprise Homeowner Costs
My husband went down into the basement this last week for something or another, and I went down after him and immediately began coughing. Which, I might note, is not normal for my basement. A quick look around revealed water on the floor in one corner, a leaking water softener... and SO MANY things with … Continue reading Surprise Homeowner Costs
The Biggest Difference Between Mania and Depression Is How Clean My House Is
It's no secret that depression often includes a lack of energy and general apathy. My house often reflects this. My husband cleans, but when I'm depressed I can barely dress, cook for myself, and attend work, much less do dishes and laundry. So, while the house isn't impossible, there's only so much my husband can … Continue reading The Biggest Difference Between Mania and Depression Is How Clean My House Is
