clean my bedroom

and vacuumed. Goodbye, dustbunnies! Also, scrubbed the baseboards. I am still keeping on top of the dusting, damp-dusting every two to three days. I have some allergies and respiratory problems, so I really should be damp-dusting my room every day; but I’m working my way up to that. My current routine has already made a difference with my breathing.

I think that my inner “Dutch Grandma” is finally coming out…I want to scrub and scrub until things are immaculate this time. Grandma Dee-dee would be proud!

Washed curtains; scrubbed windows. Still to do: clean venetian blinds; wash walls and baseboards; take unwanted items to thrift store.

I’ve also been keeping my room well-dusted lately. Hurray!

and window-scrubbed today. One step at a time! More tomorrow…

Happy New Year, everyone!

I got so close to completing this goal a few weeks ago; then, when I got sick, it just took all of the wind out of my sails. Ringing in 2008 has re-inspired me to work on this goal again. A fresh year deserves a fresh room full of order and beauty!

Today, have been decluttering the floor of piles of books (again). Still a ways to go. Well, enough of a break; time to get back to work…

I’ve been down with a yucky little cold, and what little energy I’ve had went into other things this week and not cleaning my room. I’m going to try to get back into it today, and scrub in between the sniffles.

I did manage to do my regular vaccuum and I also vaccuumed my lampshades—they were getting a bit dingy-looking.

Cleaned off and dusted my dresser, night-table and sewing machine cabinet tonight. I can’t believe how much stuff—junkmail, odds ‘n’ ends—had accumulated on them! My room is starting to look more like it should, now.

Tomorrow is my day of rest; then, on with the cleaning…

I just finished with cooking and serving dinner, and I am beat! I don’t know how much progress I’ll make in my room tonight. At least my efforts over the past week are paying off; my space is much more liveable.

I will extend my time-limit on this goal for a few more days, to make things just right.

Wasn’t well today, so my room will just have to wait. I have been sort of cleaning, though: this evening I’ve been renovating my 43 Things list!

Got more junk off of the floor today, and stored a few things (unused picture frames and books,etc.) in our garage until I can get rid of them. I’m also in the middle of doing several loads of laundry; almost all of the clothes being cleaned will go off to the thrift store.

Today, my dog is staying at the kennel (away from the Hallowe’en doorbells and firecrackers!), so it’s the ideal time for me to do a more thorough vaccuum. I really let the baseboards go this summer. The dust and doghair down there is nasty! It is so satisfying to hoover it all up…

Not as much energy today, but I did manage to do a fair bit of dusting.
