Clean up the Clutter

Today's theme is 'clean up the clutter'.  I tackled one of the worst kitchen shelves. That is to say I cleaned it off, but my boyfriend has a cow if I throw anything out, so he'll have to go through the basket of food to see what he wants to keep.  It's not going back on that shelf unless it's edible. We had stuff on there he forgot we had, like dried mushrooms and spaghettini.  We just bought a new pack of spaghettini because he said we didn't have any.  It was at the very back of the shelf so I'm not surprised he didn't know it was there.

Take Care of Necessary Things

I'm devoting today to doing what must be done to keep my home running smoothly. That means carrying out the trash, doing laundry, washing dishes, and so forth. Not a task I'm happy to have but a task that if not done makes me feel like things are falling down around me. I can't have inner peace when a cockroach is crawling up my leg. I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't know how long my energy will hold up, but I'll do what I can.

FIRST POST: Cleaning Up After Yourself

I thought it would be way cool really good fun to have a theme of the day for my life, or you can adopt this blog and do it with me. I was in the shower where most good ideas are born, and I thought I should have a daily theme and today's should be 'cleaning up after yourself'. So voila, a new blog is born. I started with emptying out the dishwasher so dirty dishes don't pile up in the sink. And I picked up some stray things in the bathroom and found a better spot for them. My bathroom counter space sometimes looks like a knick-knack shelf.
