It’s main bathroom week in Flylady land this week. Not so exciting. Especially as our main bathroom is small. So yesterday’s 27 Fling boogie (the idea is to get rid of 27 pieces of clutter/trash in the room) wasn’t really applicable.
I did take the trash out of there today, maybe that counts?
In fairness, it’s main bathroom plus another room (her e-mails seem to focus on the guest room so I went with the basement as it’s where the boys’ friends stay once in a while).
Today, I did a mix of weekly tasks from her lists plus the daily missions. I was kind of all over the place.
In The Basement
I did do one of those 27 Fling boogie things. And this desk is pleasantly clear as I sit down here typing tonight.
The other thing was to wash bedding but I skipped to Wednesday’s wash the bathroom rugs mission and that took longer than I expected so….maybe tomorrow.
In The Bathroom
Here’s what I did in regards to cleaning our main bathroom.
Yesterday’s mission of shining the tub. I didn’t really make it shiny but I did clean it better than it’s probably been cleaned in longer than I really want to admit in writing.
Washed the bathmat/rug. It was dirty even with us usually laying a towel on top before our shower. I also washed another rug that was down in the basement. Between the dirt on both of them, I felt the need to run an empty hot water and bleach only cycle through the washer.
Swept and scrubbed the tile floor. Why on why did they put this tile on our floor?
Came up with a new idea for an invention. How about cleaning tools for small and awkward spaces? Mini mops/narrow Swifter wet jets. Did the best I could. The floor is probably as clean as it’s been in a while.
Random Thoughts
A few quick random thoughts before I go upstairs, clean out the sink and go to bed.
I’ve noticed the house is staying a bit (not a lot) cleaner with the Flylady tasks happening.
Did use a timer briefly today just to get my focus started.
Suddenly, I’ve started making up my own room missions when the ones listed don’t apply to me. Instead of the de-clutter in the bathroom, I cleaned a very neglected area between the sink and the tub (see above about needing tools for tiny and awkward spaces).
Scrubbing the floor wasn’t a mission but I decided to do it anyway.
Cleaning the rooms makes me think of a million home improvement projects to add to the never ending list.
Turns out, I don’t think I like cleaning the bathroom more than cleaning the kitchen after all…
