I took today and the next two days as vacation to do some cleaning and upgrades to the bedroom, the office, and the hallway. Today was the day we moved everything out of the bedroom, tore out the carpet, roll out new carpet and put everything back in.
I have muscles yelling at me that I didn't even know I had. I spent much too much time organizing the junk drawers of my dresser.... do you have any idea how many old cell phones and random chargers I had tucked away in the dresser drawer???? Then I put miscellaneous craft doodads and thingamagigs in organized plastic boxes (still have more organizing to go)
The poor animals had no idea what we were doing because we kept kicking them out of the room. Though they had lots of fun playing on the mattress as it stood on end in the office.
And I get to do it all over again tomorrow as I repaint the hallway and all the doors going down the hallway, and finish by laying carpet and a new runner.
Then we tackle the office. Thats already painted and recarpeted (hubby's project last week all by himself). I just need to get into the closet -- its one of those closets you open the door and things fly out at you. I already tossed a whole trash can of books and such that we HAD to hold on to but don't need.
We're getting to the point in our lives that we hold on to too much extra junk and are not focusing on the important things right in front of us. Lets clean the closets in real life and hopefully the closets in our mind clear too.
