Cleaning.

Well I’ve been quiet because I decided that sitting looking at my phone was boring and that I’d take up a new hobby. Normally hobbies are things you like to do but in my case it’s something I would like to like to do.

I have a theory that some personalities are naturally people who like to do things. They are high energy, goal orientated people who like to feel like they accomplished something for the day.

On the other hand there are the thinker types. These people are head in the clouds people who can happily sit, think, feel and observe. They don’t notice the dust on the mantlepiece. A bit like Winnie the Pooh versus Rabbit.

Now when you marry these two types of personalities you are liable to get a few differences in values. A few compromises would be needed. In my case I’m Pooh and I’ve decided that Rabbit needs my help since he is working very hard.

So my new hobby that I’ve been attempting to learn since last week has been cleaning. Today alone I cleaned a mirrowed door, bathroom, and kitchen. Now I’ve done these before but never consistently daily. Rabbit is the one who likes to dust while on a zoom call.

And I have to say I’m running out of things to clean which is kind of fun. And I’m surprised at how clean the house looks without feeling like I cleaned all day… It is becoming a habit. Before I sit down I ask myself what can I clean? Even if it’s one corner of the kitchen..

In the past week I’ve organised everyone’s clothes. Took the winter stuff out and tidied the rest. Today I organised the vitamins and medicines. With labels. Grin.

I know that it will probably never come naturally to me but it can be a good habit that helps my other half and creates a peaceful home environment.

There is something eerily satisfying about a sparkling mirror… I wonder if cleaning can be addictive…
