On a cleaning drive

Once in a while I get these bouts of cleanliness... There are days when I notice the cobwebs in the corners of the rooms, the fan blades that need cleaning up, my wardrobe that seems to be in dire need of rearrangement and setting up or the sofa that needs vacuuming. Well - not that we don't clean the house regularly, we do.. But there are these days when I just feel like taking it upon myself, days when I cannot sit still and have to take the plunge and do a major revamp or rearrangement of things around the place...Today was one such day..

At the end of it, I have a pile of clothes that needs to be dry-cleaned, a set of clothes that I have decided to give away to our bai, a pair of dresses that need some altering to do (long pending task actually!).. I have a much cleaner wardrobe, much emptier actually (aha... time to go shopping?), with clothes categorized as per their types.. (this is the organizer in me trying to sort out things, despite of knowing that it will not work for a long time, and the optimist in me that keeps trying).. Apart from that, I have gotten rid of a few things in my room, I want to do a major revamp really, lets see how that goes....

One thing that this cleaning drive does to me is rejuvenate me in some sense, makes me feel good, clean, clear... As if after this, I am all set (reset rather) to start (restart) once again! Ready to mess up once again :) And well, that freedom and the scope to mess up makes me feel better, much better :)

In the end as always, it is a toast to a new beginning, a new round of messing up and a new wait before I feel compelled to take the plunge once again.
