cleaning in denial

jazzfishTwenty-four hours ago I was pretty well convinced that I was on my way to getting just about everything I wanted out of life.
Between personal revelations, a good hard look at my finances, and the realisation of a few things that I was just plain ignoring, I can now say that the chances of that happening are slim at best. Reply hazy, try again later.
So today I clean. Because, like a fifties housewife, I may see the world come to an end tomorrow but my house will be spotless when it does.
If my dryer were larger I could probably get laundry done in fewer than six loads. This task may spread over to tomorrow. Breakfast dishes are done (mm, pancakes). The bathroom is in the process of being swept. After that comes the task of scrubbing the tub, and the less scary tasks of scrubbing the toilet and sink. Perhaps I will finally get around to vaccuuming the other rooms as well, now that I have a vaccuum cleaner. (Which may or not work, actually.)
Once things other than laundry are done I will sit down with my tea and book. Unless I'm going to Rockville tonight after all. Quis scit.
Update: Last load of laundry in the wash, bathroom cleaned, vaccuuming delayed 'til another day, definitely going to Rockville. Need to sweep kitchen, also.

Yeah, that sounds about right for this one, too, except that the doom-falling didn't really occur 'til April. Or June, depending on your perspective.
