cleaning.

so. you clean.

you put things away. you dust. wash. vacuum. whatever it is you do, and/or needs to be done.

and it looks nice. and you say to yourself, 'fuck it. this is nice. I'm going to keep this place tidy."

all right.

so.

how long before it becomes a mess again?

for me? a week or two.

and for those of you with children. I don't mean their messes, (toys and such) - that does doesn't count.

I still have some cleaning to do. I haven't vacuumed yet. And a few things need to be put away and other organized.

but.

this time, I'm going to try for at least three weeks.
