Mistress came over, the other night, and did a walk-through home inspection.
For a description of my home, I give you Sheldon's quote, upon first seeing Penny's apartment:
"The Mandelbrot set of complex numbers is a little messy..... THIS is CHAOS."
She outlined a list of things she wanted me to get done around the apartment.
Nothing onerous, nothing burdensome, simply things that I knew needed to
be done, that I've been putting off, like for ever, and I needed a
kick in pants to get 'em done.
So, She kicked me in the pants.
Today:
I started with the refrigerator. I threw out perishables that had been
in there from since and before my roommate moved out, mid January, and I
wiped and cleaned it out, top to bottom, outside then inside.
The I scrubbed down the walls in the kitchen.
Then I wiped down the range top, and all the counters.
Then I swept the floor, numerous times, and got down on hands and knees, and used a knife to scrape up sticky stuff.
And I mopped.
And I mopped again.
And I swept it again.
And I mopped it again.
Once finished, I was, I am, damn proud of it.
And it just took a kick in the pants to get started.
More chores on the agenda for tomorrow: stay tuned.
