clean my apartment

So, i just moved about 2 weeks ago, and the apartment cleaning thing happened before I left. It is ridiculous how many things one person can accumulate in three years time, and how much cleaning needed to be done before my move-out inspection. It was altogether frustrating, but I’m glad that I have good friends and family who were a huge help to me during this process.

That said, I’m already half-tempted to slack off on unpacking, so I have to curb that impulse before it becomes too much to handle, again. I’m going to end this goal, and work on new ones. Thanks!

Well, I recently joined FLYLady, in yet another attempt to actually clean my apartment. The cheese factor is killing me, but I am digging the daily email reminders. I just have to stick to the routines and try to ignore the rampant advertising for more cleaning crap. No, I do NOT need a purple feather duster, thank you.

I’ve managed to donate a bunch of old clothing, including some sentimental items. This process is tediously slow, but I’m getting better, and my apartment is looking a bit cleaner. I still have such a long way to go, but I’m optimistic.

Hooray! It has taken me the better part of a month, but my apartment is almost clean. I’m on Planet Maintenance in all rooms but one, and my Closet o’ Doom. At this point, the worst messes are gone, and all I have left to do is a lot of sorting, donating, and trashing. I’m really hoping to get everything accomplished before school starts again in a few weeks. ...a lot less to worry about. Plus, when I’m finished, I will have the added benefit of new furniture. A couch! Bookcases! Tables! A hope chest! This is all very exciting, as you can tell.
