Cleaning!

I'm several months late in my spring cleaning. The good news though, is that once again I can see the floor in basically every part of my room, and that I am proud of my room again. In all honesty, aside from the terrible winter's chill, my room is pretty amazing. It's big enough to fit most of my things, and it's very open, with windows taking up about 2/3 of the wall space. I filled up quite a few garbage bags in the process and truly enjoyed the cleaning process. It was a catharsis, and it also allowed me to find a number of things that I've been missing.

After doing the main cleaning in my room, I worked with my roommate Shane to clean up the rest of the house. I did a lot of dusting, some dishes, some bathroom and kitchen scrubbing and some general organizing. Shane did a lot of organizing, some sweeping and some dusting as well. It's nice to have the house look a bit more presentable, and it still looks 'lived in'.

The reason we are doing all this cleaning is this; we have a potential new roommate coming to look at the apartment today, and more later in the week. It's exciting to think of a total stranger looking at our place and seeing with eyes unclouded by familiarity. I'm certainly excited.
