Unfucking My Habitat: New Job Edition

My contract job begins tomorrow and I am SO excited to be leaving the house and rejoining the world like a productive human being for the first time since late August. So I got up early (well, earlIER, trying to ease back into this early-morning thing), went to the gym, and spent the rest of the morning getting ready! 

Here’s what I did:

  • Quick vacuum (it wasn’t too heinous because I cleaned before my New Year’s shindig and after taking down Christmas crap)
  • Quick kitchen cleanup
  • Quick bathroom cleanup
  • Tackled Mount Laundry (for the first time since well before Christmas, yikes)
  • Picked out my first and second day outfits and tried them on to make sure they looked as good on me as they did in my head
  • Rustled out my work bag, cleaned it out, and packed a bunch of healthy snacks (dried mango, raw almonds, dried pineapple rings, Lara bars) (Yes, I know I am a giant nerd)
  • Called my boss and officially resigned from all contract work

Still to come! 

  • Celebratory lunch burrito
  • Folding and putting away of laundry
  • Taking Oscar to the park, since I won’t get to spend all day with him anymore and I almost started tearing up and what is WRONG with me
  • Reading in bed
  • Setting up coffee, setting out my gym clothes and first day outfit, have my keys out and ready to go 

CAN YOU TELL I’M JUST A TINY BIT EXCITED

My sister will be here tomorrow! I’m SO excited, but first, my habitat must be prepared. Here’s what I have to do:

Cleaning

  • Kitchen counters
  • De-clutter all surfaces
  • Dust everything
  • Upstairs bathroom: countertops and toilet
  • Downstairs bathrooms: countertops, toilet, and tub
  • Vacuum whole house
  • Mop downstairs
  • Take out trash, recycling, and compost
  • Sweep off back porch
  • Dog “European bath” (brush and a spritz of leave-in conditioner)

CLEANING: FINISHED! 

Errands

  • Take carload of shit to Goodwill
  • Buy festive junk food from Trader Joe’s
  • Go to grocery and get ingredients for her favorite vegetarian jambalaya
  • Get Christmas tree and extra ornaments

Decorating

  • Put up tree
  • Decorate tree
  • Put up outdoor lights

Bonus

  • Go to step class at the Y (to save time, worked out at home, then ran [literally ran] to the store to get the last little bit of Christmas gifts)
  • Mulch and compost leaves in the backyard (this may be overly ambitious)

Unfucking begins as soon as I’ve finished my coffee.
