Ah, cleaning.

The house is starting to look pretty good but my room hasn't even been touched yet, le sigh.  I just finished up the living room - dusted, swept, random bits of stuff picked up - identified and then delivered to whoever it belonged to, carpet put back down, some light rearranging.  No, I mean that literally.  I rearranged the lights.

Next is the bathtub, sink and toilet since Todd attacked the bathroom floor yesterday.  And then the bedroom.  *groan*  Will take a ten minute break, though, to enjoy a glass of pomegranate lemonade (nggh) and maybe flip through my book.  It's taking longer than normal for me to get through it because of the style of language that the writer decided to use.  Not a bad book but one that I'll get the sequal only once it's in actual paperback and not the inbetween hard cover and paperback that this was in.

I swear I'm tired of having to take days to clean the house - I'm going to try for once a week because then it means it doesn't take forever.

Every time I think I'll have time to give the house a proper clean, we end up having a party instead.

Somehow I find it difficult to mind too much . . .

But yeah, know what you mean about the cleaning taking over your life eventually. I think March might well be set aside for cleaning house from top to bottom. Or I'll enter a five-day bike race in May, which means training will put cleaning back to June.

*grins* See, I wish that happened here. But most of the time we just look around and go 'eh, someone else'll get it'. I've just spent pretty much the entire weekend cleaning, with breaks for food and stuff and taking last night over.

It's worth it (my roommate's girlfriend just gave me a hug for cleaning. *amused*) but damn, I'm tired and I know my patience is worn kind of thin because I'm tired.
