OCD wave struck again.

I don't know how a place can get so messy in just a matter of 3 short days. I came back after dinner and just couldn't take it.

I started doing dishes, then I looked at the table top and realised I had no place to put my clean dishes so I had to clean my table top, and then the dust from the table top had to go to the bin, which was full, so I had to tie up the bag, which then led me to realise that the bin was dirty and stinky, so I had to clean my bin, which then led me to see that the floor was dirty and so I had to sweep, and then some of it was stuck to the floor stubbornly, so I had to mop.

Phew. And I haven't even started any cleaning yet.

So I started with the bin, then I saw the floormats, then I scrubbed the floormats as well, then I got out the mop pail and mopped the entire kitchen area and then I noticed the carpets, then not having a vacuum I started to sweep bit by bit of my carpet. I managed to get the big bits off the carpet, but the tiny ones are stuck there till I get a vacuum. Bah.

When the mopped floor was dry, I started on the table top and the dishes, then I spent a long time scrubbing the stove area and then I cleaned the dishes, let them dry, then I moved on to washing my kitchen cloths, scrubbing each and every one of them, then I dumped them in the dryer. Then I head back and started cleaning up my study table. Tidying it up more like. So tidy tidy into neat piles, then I started on my dining table, then my pile of laundry, sorted them into colours, ready for their next wash, then I cleaned up my bed of my shopping, folded the plastic bags nicely and neatly, put my shopping away into my cupboards/wherever they belong, then I looked around. Then I saw my mop pail still lying around, so I took it out to throw the dirty water away, then I thought oh ya, my toilet, I need to clean it too, so I filled that pail with water, brought it back and cleaned my entire bathroom. Then I came out of that with wet pant sleeves, so I sat down, after all that, to fold it up. I folded it then took a good look around the room.

And, I'm satisfied. For now.

(There's still the vacuuming, and the cleaning up of all my cutleries and crockeries, and the arranging of my foodstuff in the cupboards, and the sorting of my papers and books and...I'm sure there's more.)
