OK, I admit it. I didn’t do my daily cleaning tasks yesterday.
We went to see Star Trek. (It was pretty good. I do have one word of warning: Don’t spend the entire movie pointing out to the person that you’re with all the things the filmmakers stole from Star Wars. This is especially true if the things you say happened “exactly like that” in Star Wars didn’t happen at all in Star Wars, because you have a really bad memory. That is annoying.)
Anyway, after seeing Star Trek, I was too tired to do any cleaning.
But this morning, I did some sweeping before leaving for work. Turns out we already own the perfect giant broom for walkway sweeping. It was sitting in a closet, unused.
The only drawback: The dog is afraid of the giant broom. As soon as I took it out, she ran outside and watched through the window until I was far away and she was safe.
Turns out, sweeping did make the walkway look kind of nice. It's not like stepping over some leaves was such a terrible experience. And it's not so nice that I will sweep the walkway every day. But nice enough that maybe I’ll turn their daily tasks into my weekly task.
It also made me notice that our porch needed more than just a sweep. Look at these poor little chairs:
So I cleaned them off and spruced them up a little.
Although now I want to paint the chairs. Just imagine how cute they’d look blue! Or yellow!
Let's focus on the thought of bright blue chairs, and forget about how I used the sink several times yesterday without cleaning it!
