I am currently living with my Mum, but soon hope to go traveling with a few friends around Europe. I have lived with a boyfriend for a few years but so far I have not had to live with anyone that did not “love me” and therefor put up with my appalling bad habits.
My main problem is cleaning. I just don’t do it. I’m not really bad, leaving food out to go rotten or anything, I just never seem to get around to tidying my room or doing the dishes. It doesn’t help that I love doing crafts, sewing, origami and stuff so our house is constantly littered with bits of thread or little pieces of paper. I realize that all it would take to clean it up would be a quick run around with the vacuum cleaner, but I just can’t seem to bring myself to do it. I will eventually bring my self to do these things but it’s usually not till its really bad, like there’s not a single dish left in the cupboard.
One of the girls I am traveling with a has grown up in a clean house hold. She tells me that her house isn’t that clean and she doesn’t mind a bit of mess, but I know she underestimates what the term “untidy” really means. There are also a few other bad habits that I hope to kick before setting out, so as not to unleash all my craziness on her at the one time.
I’m not planing to change who I am at all, and there’s a number of my habits that their just gonna have to get used to, (like singing and dancing around the house when I’m in a good mood), I just don’t want any of these things to have sour effect on the trip.
I plan to just work on a little bit at a time, setting small goals for my self then working up to bigger things like tackling my craft room which currently looks like a bomb has hit it. I know that somewhere deep down inside me theres a clean girl just waiting to come out, only she can’t find her way through the mess.
