Spent all day cleaning like a motherFUCKER and I feel very proud of myself.
- dusted everywhere
- vacuumed the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and hall
- sorted and put away a shit ton of Random Stuff
- cleaned all the windows
- cleaned up the sofa
- put away all the shoes I need to sell in a box
- took out the recycling
- washed the dishes
- and what I'm most proud of: I climbed up on the extremely, unnervingly high and wobbly wooden construction that my former roommate built (so that she could have her bed up on a platform just below the ceiling, while the sofa and sofa table are directly below it), crawled across it while saying my prayers, and figured out how the curtain racks worked so I could carefully unscrew them and remove the giant ugly dusty curtains that I've been wanting to get rid of for years
The only bad part of the day was that I then tried to wash the huge dusty curtains and I used too much detergent out of enthusiasm and ebullience, so my washing machine overflowed 🙃
(not badly, but there was a lot of very hot dirty water to soak up, using all my towels, because I don't have a wet vac)
I'm nervous to try running the machine again, but I guess I have to... wish me luck please 😬
#cosmo gyres#personal#homemaking#i'm very proud of myself for how i handled the flood though#i saw water all over my bathroom floor and just started to laugh#then immediately cancelled the wash cycle and started problem-solving#i think it's going to be okay (unless my machine is legit busted)#this is one of those moments when it becomes starkly clear how few practical life skills my parents taught me#i have no idea if there's something you're supposed to do to maintain washing machines#do they have a filter that needs replacing like dishwashers do?#(i've never done anything about replacing my dishwasher filter either bc tbh i don't think it has one...#dishwashers tend to use salt here. instead of filters? no clue#i am really REMARKABLY ignorant about appliances and home care stuff#and i am pluckily trying to figure out all out on my own as i encounter issue after issue#but sometimes i do think a very 'handy' partner would... well... come in handy#in any case i may not have the knowledge but at least i have a calm and light-hearted attitude#when it comes to these sorts of problems. and that goes a long way)
