Since my family is coming over for Christmas, I thought that it would be smart for me to clean my apartment. I guess it really has not had a good cleaning since I finished college because I have been so busy with work, but it is about time – this place is disgusting.
I decided that I would get rid of anything that I don’t use anymore. I have already donated most of my text books to the used bookstore here in town, and even got rid of some of my old, ratty furniture. I just about made the mistake of taking my books for my Illinois insurance continuing education course to the bookstore as well, but thankfully I noticed before it was too late – I need that material if I am going to finish my class before the new year.
Even though there is quite a lot of cleaning to do before my family gets here, at least it is starting to look like I am making some progress. I don’t know if it is a realistic goal, but I am going to try to keep the place clean even after the holiday season – there is just something about coming home to a clean house after work that feels great.
