Day Five
Well, slow start and LONG duration on the first roll today. Got 1 hour 45 minutes in the bedroom. I’ll admit it. I couldn’t do it. Quit about 20 minutes early, so I’ll have to tack that time back onto the end somewhere. Didn’t take pictures this time, as it wasn’t all that picturesque to start with. Have to get my vacuum cleaner fixed for sure. Really missing it!
My second roll of the day is the one I’ve been actually dreading with all my heart but REALLY needing. My study. This is where I am supposed to be able to get my writing done. When you see the pictures…and yes, this time there will be pictures…you will see that even the hour and a half I rolled will make a minor dent in it. I’ll be happy if I can open the door to get to work after this!
UPDATE ONE: Boy. You can barely see a difference in there…but at least the door does swing freely now. It is a bit humbling to post these pictures. I feel really embarrassed things ever got this bad in the first place — but at least I am working on it. I see something like Hoarders and it’s scary. I don’t want to get THAT bad so I am doing something about it. Someone commented about the three hours a day asking just how messy my house IS…well, a lot messier than it should be!
Here’s the study:
The sad part is, even after time was up, though I could see the difference, I don’t know that anyone else can:
Maybe I should have a few more sessions before I post more shots of that one. 😉
Anyway, that’s three hours and a long day for me. I still have other projects to work on. Calling it a night on the cleaning.
UPDATE TWO: I really thought I was done for the day, but I saw a commercial for the Austin Home and Garden Show this evening and got really excited. I might even go down to the convention center and check it out… What have I done to myself?! Anyone in the area want to go with me? 😉
DAILY WRAP UP: 1 hour 30 minutes in bedroom (though I should have gone longer) + 1 hour 30 minutes in Study = 3 hours.
