Sunday Afternoon - The Lazy Unfuck
Woke up with the headache version of a hangover, so I laid in bed, ate goldfish crackers and watched How I Met Your Mother.
After feeling like a pathetic shell of a human, I got up, laid in the bathtub with my iPhone (a potentially expensive bath if my hands get slippery, I know) and read the past few UFYH blogs to get myself motivated.
I stole a Clean Your House playlist from Spotify and started simple with “Make your bed.” and moved on to sorting down the laundry that I would most need for next week and then throwing away 50 things. I definitely trashed more than 50 — in fact, I filled 1 1/2 trashbags with nonsense.
My method of a quick clean-up has always been to dump everything into big plastic tubs and shove them into my closet. Then, when I am feeling especially motivated, I grab the tub and try to consolidate. Today I combined two tubs into one. Baby steps, people. I put all of my gift wrapping stuff from holidays and recent birthdays into my newly organized under-the-bed storage box, shredded all of my old mail and grabbed one file folder and stuck everything I need to keep into it. That’s in the filing cabinet for when I have time to sort and re-file everything. Right now, it’s more important that the visible areas are clean. All of my make-up has been stuffed into make-up bags until I can actually sit down and dump it all out.
Guys, I even HANDWASHED clothes in the bathroom sink today. God bless Woolite.
Definitely making visible headway. Definitely going to stick to this “Throw away 50 things” concept. I have enough stuff to do this for days.
Also, did I mention that I have unfucked my lack of exercise? I’ve been eating healthy, eating regularly, and exercising with Jillian Michaels regularly. I’m down 5 pounds since I started at the beginning of the year. Don’t need to lose weight… just the flub that has been pooling in my tummy for years. Again. Baby steps.
