I cleaned my room

I cleaned my bedroom today. I cleaned the walls, the ceiling, floors, baseboards, under the bed, dressers, ceiling fan, duvet cover, sheets - everything.

For the past 10 years or so I have been a stickler for not allowing anything into the bedroom that doesn't belong there. Baskets of laundry only get to come in if I'm putting it away. If the living room is cluttered and I need to put stuff away quickly (stash and dash) it cannot, will not and won't go into my bedroom.

My bedroom is my sanctuary.

When I walk into the room in the middle of the night, there is nothing to trip over. No shoes, no clothing, nothing on the floor. I love it that way.

Dusting, however, was a totally different story.

We keep a ceiling fan running most of the time, so the tops of things seem to accumulate kitty fur. Even the fan blades had been ignored for a few months (although I do those fairly often.) Today however, I got out the vacuum and started pulling things out from the walls, vacuuming behind them, the corners where the walls and ceiling meet, the tops of picture frames and even the doorframes. I dusted and vacuumed and washed and mopped.

It was a very productive few hours and hopefully my stuffed up nose will appreciate it tomorrow!

Now my bedroom really is a sanctuary. Tide Clean!
