I bit the bullet, folks.
Today I got a bucket of cleaning water, rags, an extra large garbage bag and steely determination, and entered our office. My goal? To clean out the closet, and to clean the entire room, from top to bottom.
Why? Well, I am thinking quite seriously of turning this room from only an office into an office/den. You see now that both Hubby and I have laptop computers we are very seldom in the office, and I am thinking that at night when I pull a pillow over my head to dampen the sounds of the TV, how great it would be to banish Hubby into the “den” at the other side of the house, so I can fall blissfully, silently to sleep!
With a nose that kept running, and sneezing, Arnie and I set about cleaning the room. First I pulled all the “bad” stuff out of the closet, and then sat down on the floor to go through all of the “clutter”. I cannot believe the stuff I have saved over the years!
I have to mention that it would probably be best to have done this without Arnie. His contribution to the project was smothering me with doggy kisses, and although I love him and appreciated the affection, I didn’t get a lot done during his “helping” time!
I’m not done yet. By all accounts it is going to take me about 2 days to finish the project, especially since I have appointments to keep outside the home.
At least the project has begun. But boy, do I hate dust!
Ah-choo!
Sending LOTS of love and hugs your way today! Love YOU, Mel
Thinking of you, and will look forward to hearing from you later.
Love,
Mandy
That’s an excellent idea, at least you could sleep like a baby again. Here it’s very cold – 11°C (12F)hasn’t happened for 20 years at least ! I had to dig out a fur coat (still in fashion fortunately) and moon boots I hadn’t worn for ages ! but they are still OK. Mr. Gattino has to buy some ! We are not equipped at all for these temperatures !
I’d take a doggy helper any day, over the one that woke me up to play at 4:15 this morning, thinking it was time to start the day. We had to go out, which woke up the 3 cats, and it was all down hill from there. The upside is that since I got up so early, I came to work early and can go home early! I’m a morning person, but that is still nighttime!!
Oh boy! Good going YOU!!! I need to get into some projects like that myself! My front entrance closet needs cleaned… and my PANTRY is a disaster area! And I should do BOTH of those before I start painting! Guess I oughta get off this darned computer, huh?
The cupboard under my stairs could do with a little excavating, once you’ve finished over there!
