oh man, finally was able to put away the snacks and get the floors and kitchen done. The bathroom will just have to wait I guess. That's okay. It's so much better than it was. It's so funny how I promise myself some sort of naughty treat when I start but by the time I'm done, I don't want said treat anymore lol.

I was never taught how to do housework by anyone, so it's really a struggle for me, I don't have the right tools and every time I try a new one I can't figure out how to use it. Avalanche's fur just flies all over the apartment, I get some of it but so much just flutters about when I sweep the hardwoods and linoleum, and flies around everywhere and I can't figure out for the life of me how to pick it up when it's just floating in the air like that. I need some sort of sticky sweeper tool I guess but I don't know what that would be.

The grubby fingerprinty doorframes and appliances need love but I'm the only one who notices that stuff anyway so it's not very motivating to tackle it. Nobody ever comes over anymore, I gave up inviting people, it hurts too much to constantly get turned down or flaked on. Josh will probably not even notice the clean kitchen. People only notice when things are dirty. It felt good to scrub the floor. The new mop is better, but it still takes me three passes to get it to look cleanish. I think the eco-friendly biodegradable soap slows me down a bit.

I'm tired and grouchy. Maybe I need that piece of chocolate after all. Go back to my book.

Avalanche LOVES it when I clean, she gets super happy and playful. I think it changes her world more since she lives lower to the ground. She follows me around and purrs and plays. She's curled up next to me now, she's been velco kitten all day. She reached up and pawed at my feet during my workout earlier. Curled up next to me during breakfast and lunch. sweetest kitten. I'll take her out for evening walkies in a little bit. She didn't want to walk much this morning.
