As I promised I am going to tell you about the rest of my big autumn cleaning. During the week I was so occupied that I could actually do anything at all- all day work after that at home I was so tired that I could even think about cleaning.
However, it is Saturday again and I have nothing else to do except finish with the so postponed cleaning. The living room and part of the bedroom- that is the end of this year’s autumn cleaning and I have planned to clean them up today for once and for all.
The living room is nothing special but it takes some time to dust, to polish, to vacuum- you know the procedure. But, yeah, it takes time; especially when you are so easily distracted that you forget what you are doing at that exact moment. I start little by little, shelf by shelf, I prearrange all of my books and, of course, I take to time to read a passage or two while trying to balance on top of a stool. And I am trying really hardly, this is one dangerous situation and it could become bloody and painful, too.
I finish without any accidents and I am really happy about that. I am about to vacuum the floor now. I take out the vacuum cleaner and turn it on. Oh, I forgot about one of my childhood traditions- I forgot to turn on the music. Now with the music turned on I float in the air, sing and dance if you could say that it is a dance at all. I am like a funny even ridiculous version of Freddie Mercury in the video for the song I Want to Break Free. Bur don’t laugh I am trying really hard and I sing with all my heart and all my voice. Ohhh, the bell is ringing- who could that be? Ops, my neighbours, well maybe I should stop screaming and start cleaning instead. That is one pretty good idea. I continue cleaning but very often I thing that I want to metaphorically break free (stop with that autumn crab), go outside, party hard instead of cleaning hard.
So I clean as quickly as possible. I finish with the living room and I head toward my bedroom where only the wardrobe is well- arranged. I clean up in a slip-shod way- I vacuum without singing this time (I do not want neither to scary nor to make angry my neighbours), dust and polish everything.
Phew, I am done for this year. Now I throw myself in the first armchair I see, grab a cup of coffee and a nice book. Enough physical work let’s train my brain a little bit.
