Pumpkin's Mega-Cleaning Week!

Rate this Entry
I am posting this up, partly to help keep myself accountable and partly so I can look back and see progress!

So with the house stuff going on, cleaning got pushed to the side. Plus I haven't done a big annual clean since we moved in, and with school starting soon, my time will be less free. So I have put together a mega-cleaning week. Today is day one. I will update with progress as I go along. I'll also cross off what I have completed.

    Day 1 update: Not so good. I got most of the cleaning done to the office minus the mopping, and I did one of two closets in the hallway. I found some clothes we hadn't unpacked yet in the office that sadly won't fit me anymore. But I figured it might be a good motivator to make sure I exercise!

    But then I threw my back out. Badly. In a lot of pain. So if I don't feel better tomorrow, my mega-week of cleaning is going to turn in to two weeks. Better to take longer and do its safely!

    Cleaning is a dangerous profession: did you know cleaners and housewives and househusbands suffered more accidents than stunt doubles and chainsaw jugglers?

    I really did not Formy!

    It was decided today is a day of rest. My back just hurts too much and I don't want to risk further and more serious injury. We will see how it feels tomorrow. All of the cleaning will eventually get done, it'll just take longer!

    I can now stand up straight but I don't want to undo all of my progress, so light cleaning today and we will try more tomorrow
