Order Restored

I usually consider myself to be a fairly organized person. Okay, I will admit there are one too many dust bunnies in my apartment, but for the most part, the place usually looks very presentable. However, I go through phases where nothing related to cleaning gets done. At all.

Clothes are strewn across the bedroom.

Shoes are in every room of the apartment.

Dishes are stacked in both sinks.

Leftovers get a little too left over in the fridge.

It’s a little embarrassing to admit, but there is one good thing that comes out this domestic chaos: the cleanup. It is surprisingly cathartic to restore the apartment to its orderly, clean state. Tonight I folded the clothes merely tossed in the closest over the last couple of weeks, picked up the other clothes and shoes, unpacked my bag from last night’s stay at The Ranch, generally put the bedroom and living back in order. Tomorrow, I’m washing dishes and even (!) balancing my checkbook.

It’s going to be a good weekend.
