loft redux

for the last two days i've been totally rethinking the loft.  it started with the decision to bite the bullet and paint.  i invested in a ladder since i have 12' ceilings and borrowing one from the grounds keeper seems to be a lot like passing the LSAT.  with this ladder i'm painting the whole apartment, changing out two bulbs, replacing the battery in my smoke detector, changing my AC filter and getting rid of the dusty cobwebs that were previously too high to reach.  my windows are being replaced soon and since i'm having to move all of my furniture to paint i'm also scrubbing every last inch of everything.  note to self: ditch the swiffer mop because apparently it's worthless.  i got out my trust dr. bronners and a rag today and, to my dismay, discovered just how filthy my floors were.  ick!


so... by next sunday this place should be like new and sparkling clean.  that is my hope anyways.  i never know how the work week will go.  my hope is that i will maintain focus and be rewarded with a beautiful, squeaky clean new home when next weekend is over.  then i'll be able to tackle other projects like purging all of the junk in my closet and framing all the art that i've had in boxes for years.  things are good.  i like it when i get focused like this.

to do list:
  • pick up dry cleaning
  • grocery shopping
  • get new wiper blades for the car
  • finish painting
  • finish scrubbing down the house
  • start lamp project
  • go shopping for loft stuff
  • clean out the closet and give all my extra crap away
  • start meditating twice a day
  • run dishwasher with white vinegar
  • rewrite budget
  • start jogging in the mornings
  • yoga and foreign language study 3x a week

i'm nostalgic for conversations i had yesterday. i've begun reminiscing events before they even occur. i'm reminiscing this right now. i can't go to the bar because i've already looked back on it in my memory... and i didn't have a good time.
