the website apartment therapy regularly amazes me. the other day it had instructions on how to clean your house in 20 minutes for 30 days. it provided a list of 30 days for what you should clean and how much cleaning (surface cleaning vs deep cleaning, etc). so i wrote it them down on the calendar and have commited to completing these tasks over the next month and a half (i excluded weekends so it went into november). i really like this plan and hope i can adopt it. i've definitely tried in the past to impliment small amounts of cleaning into my regular routine only to fall out of sync. i need a bit more structure than i myself can provide. the biggest problem i had is after about 3 days or so, i'd 'run out' (if in actuality or my imagination i'm not sure) of things to clean. i like that this list helps me think of things i never would've before. i'm very pleased. last night i got a lot done - with putting away my laundry (approx. 2.5 weeks after washing it), working on the shed and completing yesterday's 20 minute task of surface cleaning the living room and kitchen. not too shabby. the house already looks remarkably tidier and the tidiness makes it feel stress-free.

my early start to the morning gave me a glimpse of a small rainbow. it was nice. it surprised me because it hadn't even rained last night, but maybe that just makes it extra special.
