I am feeling pretty good about maintaining my clean apartment and just generally cleaning up my act. Things like unloading the dishwasher instead of using dishes from it as required, so I'm not piling up dirty ones in the sink until the dishwasher is near empty then refilling it. Now my sink is empty all the time and clean, because the dirty dishes go into the dishwasher. Similarly, I'm folding my clothes rather than using them from the clothes horse, so I have actually put away my clothes horse which makes the room look tidier.
Add to that just general things like wiping surfaces down and vacuuming something if I see it on the floor. Even used one of the dyson attachment things and cleaned the intake vents in the kitchen and bathroom. Oh and whenever I make a coffee I make sure to clean the machine and throw away the grounds before I walk away with the drink so it's good to go for next time.
These are obviously normal things I should have been doing all along, which normal adults do all the time, but the ol' brain hasn't really been in it for a while.
The wax melts I bought are also adding to the nice clean feeling of the place. More home-like. I should get some kind of art for the walls.. ohh I might MAKE some art for the walls! Either make some images using AI and have them printed/framed or put to canvas.. or maybe even have a go at some actual art with paints/stuff.
ooo get one of those folding boards if you haven't already. They make it so much fun and faster. I ended up also making some template ones for towels so they fit neatly in the cupboard
