Baby steps, day twenty-nine
Aug. 11th, 2012 08:45 amIt's silly how excited I am to have a weekend free of plans to do anything except working on the last few areas of fuckedness in my home. My desk. My dresser/closet. The disgusting bathroom. The food-storage-container cabinet. The refrigerator.
(I'm not sure I'll get to it, but the storeroom could use decluttering, too, but at least it's all neat in there, because James keeps it so. We're thinking of moving next year during my furlough, though, and that will be easier if we go through all the boxes of stored stuff and get rid of what we don't want to move.)
So. Onward!
( Previous days )
Day Twenty-nine: You have worked very hard this past month. Hopefully you have become familiar with our “FLY Washing” e-mail system and you are seeing some progress in your home. It took FlyLady nine months of building her routines one habit at a time to get her home running on automatic pilot. Please do not beat yourself up over this. Anything you do today is better than it used to be! Celebrate each accomplishment and enjoy the process. Before you know it you will be having more time for the things that you love to do.
Right now, go to the Taking Care of You page and find the Weekly Pamper Mission. Read it, then think about when you are going to do it. You may have to put it on your calendar to really make it happen. Schedule yourself some “you” time — you deserve it!
This week's "Mission" is to use vinegar as a hair rinse. Well, that was easy. :-)
The past couple days, we've been playing around with Magic Erasers (well, generic versions of it) and wow, for some stuff, they really are amazing. Our floors are dark, so I don't know if it'll photograph well, but James cleaned ONE square of our old-style linoleum with one and it's so dramatic. Now I guess we'll have to clean the OTHER 749 squares. Le Sigh.
Decluttering will happen today. So will photos. But first, my morning routines and my breakfast. A girl's gotta have her priorities.
