it's just as easy to speak and interact with someone kindly as rudely. If you don't find that to be the case, there is definitely something wrong with your head.

ok, i think the only way for me to get anything done is to make a specific plan, so this weekend's includes:

get rid of the stupid crap I piled up by the front closet to get rid of a month ago
scrub the front hall COMPLETELY and clean out the closet
scrub the front bathroom and clean out the cupboards completely
buy a new shower curtain and some area rugs and look at paint possibilities (light colours) for front bathroom

this might be as much as I can handle at one go. But we'll see. If I do well at these tasks I might add:

take down blinds and clean them completely (this will be a BIG job, maybe Sunday?)

OK what the eff is floating in my rose tea? It better be rose related....
