Stuff and Things

There were a few things that I wanted to do today. Buy some holiday decorations to make our apartment more festive. Edit photos from my cousin-in-law's wedding. (Do people say "cousin-in-law"?) But, before I could do those things, I had to clean my apartment. I'm a neat freak, and I can't relax when my apartment is messy. I wouldn't have been able to enjoy doing the fun things on my list if I were constantly thinking about the pile of laundry reaching for the stars and the dirty dishes having a party in my sink.

So, I spent all day in my pajamas cleaning the apartment from top to bottom. Dusting, mopping, vacuuming, shredding old mail, the whole nine yards. The washing machine is agitating and the dryer is humming as I write this. And now it is dark and I'm tired and editing photos will have to wait for another day.

In case you are having a hard time imagining me folding laundry*, here is a visual aid:



*Actually, today my husband has been doing all the folding.
