The Cleaner


You ask, Sandra, what have you been up to lately? Well, now, since you asked. don't get excited, I've been slowly, cleaning and decluttering my office. Also known as the *if you don't know what to do with it, put it in here* room. The total of Sunday afternoon.

I have a household dust allergy. I have four room air purifiers. I have a room so full of dust I could build sand castles. Ok, maybe ant hills. I guess my brain thinks air purifies are automatic dusters or something. Anyway, the room is a disaster. Books, papers, framed photos and just..... stuff cover the desk, floor and the unused treadmill. I'm finding decluttering means rearranging. A new definition of the concept of clearing out.


It's hot and humid through most of the week. I had to turn the A/C on yesterday, which is something because I am stingy with that. Had I not, I may have melted away. I planned for this time to be used to clean and declutter rooms I tend to ignore. I think it will be room, not rooms at this rate of speed.

My best hopes you all are doing something much more fun than this.

The fun part is watching someone else do it.

Oh, I love those bookcases! Bookcases take a long time to clean and reorganize. They hold so much. (Ask one who had ten bookcases in a one-bedroom with den apartment--lol!) Those would have taken me a long time to clean, purge, and reorganize. Probably pull out one shelf at a time. But they do look just wonderful! Kudos! Take your time. Enjoy the process of touching all the treasures of your life. :)
