Not-Spring Cleaning

I do not spring clean. This is because I Winter Clean. I New Year’s Clean. I Post-Christmas clean.
Like I said to someone in an email just this morning: “Who wants to clean in Spring?!? Spring is for GARDENING!!!”
It all starts with taking down Christmas. Then we got a new piece of furniture, so the whole living room needed to be rearranged. And cleaned, of course. I’ve had some issues with the kitchen, and how the cabinets over the countertops are too low to out things under, so I had the brilliant idea that removing one that was kind of orphaned on it’s own on the far side of the sink would be a good idea.
Commence with the kitchen rearrangement!
And we switched bedrooms months ago, and I never finished cleaning arranging the bedroom. The process of doing that took ALL DAY TODAY and I am exhausted. But the process of removing the stuff from the room that used to be our bedroom into what is not our for real bedroom caused that room to be cleaned/rearranged as well. So at this point fully TWO THIRDS of our home has been completely cleaned and rearranged. IN THREE DAYS. Holy furniture polish, Batman!
So now I’m going to sink into a coma for the next 12 months, then I’ll do it all over again, I’m sure.
