Cleaning

For the past two days Dave and I were staying at my parents' house.  Tonight we are back at home and Dave has to go to work tomorrow.  A part of me wishes we had the foresight to have him take Thursday, Friday, and Monday off so we could have until after the new year together.  We have so much we would like to do and so many things to take care of that it would be nice to have him around.  Ah well, I am off so I'll try to get as much taken care of as I can without him.  

Our list of things to do includes cleaning this entire apartment, getting Investing in Living ready to relaunch, getting price quotes from different car insurance policies, finish up my sister's website, and a couple of other things I can't think of right now.  Normally, I would put off the cleaning thing but right now our place is such a disaster that it's plain stressful.  I can't deny the motivating and calming power that a clean and organized living environment provides.   Even being at my parents place I felt calmer and whatnot.  I'm naturally a messy individual and Dave isn't much better.  There was a time when the chaos was more organized and I could work within it but not so much anymore.  I can no longer deny that I need a more tidy space and I think it would be hugely helpful to Dave too.  

So yeah, so not looking forward to that.  I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it.
