I'm not sure entirely what made me clean the bathroom with such vigour this morning. But I suspect it may have been a single seen from last nights 'Jesse and Celeste forever' as Celeste sat in her bedroom with a mac on her lap surrounded by plush girly cushions and lamps. I remember distinctly thinking that it feels good to have cleaned properly and then be able to sit amongst the freshly wiped surroundings and read. I'm a great believer in the thought that if you surround your self with clutter, your mind becomes cluttered. Whereas if you surround yourself with an ordered environment, you feel in control. While I do believe this wholeheartedly, I don't necessarily act upon the notion with just living on my own. My choice is to wipe the dust away every so often and vacuum but get the cleaning products out, bleach and all, infrequently.
I opened one eye at 8:41am this morning and used the loo which meant that by 9:02am I had bleached the whole bathroom. This led to a tidying of the kitchen and lounge and then a run around with the vacuum. Sure enough, I feel better for it. I sit, IPad on lap as I listen to the church bells chime 10:15am through my open window. I've done my allocated reading for the day. I gave thought to purchasing new throws and cushions this morning but a louder voice said leave it a month until your large overtime payment lands.
I pat myself on the back for having this louder voice and secondly for listening to it. I know that I must cook roast veg and sausage for the weeks dinners today and at the same time make sausage and mash for my sons tea tomorrow too. I think the day will be rounded off with written work either on my aunts book or my Medium Interviews work (which is staring to irritate me as to its not having been done yet- which as I write that I know must take priority as the louder voice tells me so). Even this act of writing my blog is also actually ticking off my writing practice for the day.
I keep deliberating not going to the cinema for a double bill in the middle if my day but then it's what I enjoy the most since I've had a spell of not watching so much. My Sky has been unplugged since July and so I've not watched TV (other than via Netflix) for weeks.
Anyway i'll speak to you later.
