Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is supposed to take place before summer, not after it. But, as usual, I Procrastinated and now I have to finally Get rid of all the Junk I’ve accumulated over the year. But now There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it-the cleaning must be done!

I start in my bedroom. I have a king bed, with a sheet on the Mattress and a Top sheet, with Pillow cases on the Pillows. Atop all that I have a Down comforter. Well, they all need to be washed, so into the machine they go. Next I Start in on the closet. What a mess! I’ve got boxes and Bins full of stuff that need Sorting. Finally, I have to Vacuum the carpet and Dust. Whew! Quite a job! Good thing I don’t have any Drapes, just Shades on the windows.

But I’m not done yet. It’s time to move on to the kitchen. I have a combination Stove and Oven, both of which I need to clean. I start with the Fridge, though, which needs the most work. I take out the shelves and Rinse them all off. Then I Dump anything that has passed its Expiration date. Then its back to the stove, which I need To scrub clean of the grease and Stains, and the same for the oven. Finally, I wash all the dirty dishes and put them in a Dish rack next to the sink.

Spring cleaning is always A mixed bag for me. It’s a lot of work, but I also find things I’ve been missing for the past year! Maybe next time I’ll manage to do my spring cleaning in the spring.
