vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias

verbicideThe best part about doing the bathroom is the part when the floor is clean. Not a speck of cat litter. Not a single long black hair. No dust. No debris. It doesn't last long, but I like to stare at it for the whole 5 minutes it lasts.
Once I put the litter box back in, Hobbes races in and kicks out 85% of the litter and the whole delightful process starts again.
I think I used too much bleach on the floor, though. My head is a bit wobbly from the fumes. Ick. Nothing else seems to permeate through the stuck on bits of cat litter, though. I really need the fumes to dissipate from the bathroom so I can take a shower and clean the tub out and then that's done.
I'm not sure if it's the hyper-hygiene drive or what, but I've turned super-girly for the weekend. I've been watching sappy romantic comedies for two days. Currently watching Strictly Ballroom which gives me the hope I think every ugly duckling holds.
I think outside of the fumes, the bleach has dried out my hands and feet. Ew. I need to bathe in moisturizer. Winter chaps the hell out of my skin as it is.
The bedroom won't take very long to clean and then I just have to vacuum. I hate vacuuming. It's my most hated chore. I think part of it is my relatively weakass vacuum. $24 special that requires you empty the canister every 15 minutes. It doesn't take very long to vacuum, but it'd be less painful if it had more impressive suckage. I also need to spot treat a few areas before everything will look nice.
But I am determined. I will have a spotless flat by the end of the night. And then I can enjoy tomorrow and Monday in my sparkling flat. Looking forward to making cookies, because it won't involve dirt or bleach or anything else gross.

Congrats on cleaning your apt
Date: 2004-12-26 05:42 pm (UTC)Maybe I´ll do it when I get back after my trip to spain..heheheh...yeah right....some of Germaine´s colleague´s use a house cleaner every 2 weeks. I wish I had the luxury of doing that too.
It´s been fun to read your journal. Kind of reminds me of Bridget Jone´s Diary. Did you see the 2nd movie? It didn´t look that interesting and didn´t get good rvws.
Take care.
Debbie

Date: 2004-12-27 04:25 am (UTC)I just needed something to fill the time in this particularly quiet weekend. I always wait until it's somewhat out of hand before going crazy with cleaning supplies.
It sounds like you're having a great time in Spain! It's been fun to travel with you vicariously.
I haven't seen the second Bridget Jones movie--the reviews were pretty horrible, so I figure I'll wait to rent and drool at Colin Firth.
