jianantonicI think one of the main motivations for me to become a successful realtor is to have enough money to pay someone else to clean my house regularly. Because, omg.
I have an Airbnb guest for the week coming this afternoon, so I figured I'd need to do some cleaning in the rooms he'll use. I washed sheets, changed the linens, vacuumed the bedroom...all that was fine and dandy and took not a terribly long time, so it's all good. Then I got to the bathroom. I figured a little cleanser on the surfaces and fresh towels and I'd be all set there...an hour and a bucket of sweat later, I am content that it is suitable for guests. It wasn't a disaster by any means before I got to it, just little spots and whatnot kind of everywhere, and once I started cleaning, I had to really get at the whole thing to make it evenly spic and span. I was down on my hands and knees, wiping sweat off my face with my forearm while holding cleaning rags and looking disheveled, just like some infomercial character.
But now the guest spaces in my house are super clean and ready to be messed up by someone new. My room, however...let's not talk about that.
I feel accomplished...but I'm a long way from having a tidy home. I just don't think that's ever going to be something I can manage on my own. So I just have to get rich enough to throw some money at the problem.
I've been doing a lot of duct tape crafting lately, too. Turns out I don't suck at it...well, not entirely, anyway. It's crazy how much working with tape fucks up your skin, though. My hands are ridiculously torn up. Can't really wear gloves, though...I'm sure I'd end up sticking myself together straitjacket style.
Anyway I should get up and shower so I am personally clean enough to host a visitor. I'm picking him up in an hour or so, I think?
