Mid-winter cleaning?

It is ridiculously nice out today, plus it is a long weekend, so apparently this gives me incentive to do some cleaning, wooh! Plus also my allergies have been going bananas cray and that is always an incentive to try and reduce indoor allergens. The latter combination is a poor one though because it means that I vacuum for 5-10 min, then sit for thirty because my lungs are going "whyyyyyyyyyy ;_;" at me. Or my upper respiratory area, anyway. I really ought to go and have a chat with my doctor about my acid reflux because I suspect it is also contributing more than it should.

Anyway! I got the downstairs and the stairs done, and I had started cleaning the bathroom (I had sprayed down the tub anyway, and was letting the cleaner do its thing) when my roommate came home, and offered to finish the job. I sometimes feel like I am the only person who will clean things without prompting in the entire world. Well other than the kitchen. Current roomie is better than me about that. And tbh he has cleaned the sink a few times and I think he is better about his room, but even so. I don't have super high standards but come on people! Anyway - speaking of my terrible standards and no one else ever cleaning, I dusted the living room for the first time in like.... a very long time. Not completely - I should break out my microfiber thingummy and to the blinds and the fan, but I got the shelves and such! Huzzah! I think it is telling how poor my cleaning standards are because I'm pretty sure I make a self-congratulatory post every time I do it :p

I also cleaned out my wrangling bins this morning, and they were the nicest they had been since before Yuletide. I know [personal profile] naryrising has been doing a good job at not letting it go too ridiculous, but there are always odd crossover things in Night Vale, or equally confusing tumblr OCs, and today I got them all sorted out \o/

I *also* got to work some on my story today, so extra yay! It is abou 6k words now abot will probably wind up in the 8-10 range? Well, [personal profile] naryrising is saying she might give me art for it now, of boys smoking (it's a theme?), so that's all worthwhile even if only 4 people rad it ^-^

Tonight (in like 5 min) I have game and because tomorrow is a holiday I miiiiight even get to go hang out with folks afterward. People have been going out for food after, but I always have work and can't. So we'll see what my luck is like - maybe this will be the one week they don't.

Regardless, tomorrow is Martin Luther King day, and I don't work! I think that makes it easier for me to make myself do chores, knowing I can have a break day, then a work day, an then another break before actually going back to work. I am looking forward to it in general, and also because I am going over to [profile] tethys123's with some people tomorrow to work on crafting stuff :) Maybe tonight I can get my Yshbel sorted out tonight during game and make more progress on it tomorrow!
