Cleaning

"I think I could do much better..."
- Whale Tooth, Clever

Last night was the Final Steps to Sisterhood ceremony for my sorority. It took us 13 hours to introduce nine new sisters. I think Chaser was very pleased with the sister name I picked out for her. I have decided my new blog nickname for her will be Sister Heart, as a vague reference to the Mother Mother album O My Heart (because I used Mother Mother heavily as a factor in her sister name haha). When I got home around 5:30 am I put my things down by the door, walked upstairs, took my glasses off, and passed out on my couch, still wearing what I had been wearing for the end of our ceremony.

I am thinking I need to embark on a month-long cleaning journey in my room. I am the messiest person I know. To my credit, there is nothing gross about the mess in my room - there is no food garbage, and cleaning my cat's litter box is done very frequently. I also regularly put baking soda in it because I have grown to be incapable of smelling cat-smell in my room so I have to stay ahead of it. I just don't have a lot of storage space and am also very lazy, so everything I touch tends to end up on the floor. Books, clothes (if I don't feel like throwing them in the laundry basket... which I usually don't), magazines, papers, shoes, make up, jewellery, etc. It all finds its way to the floor and stays there. I want my room to be super clean when I leave for Katimavik though. I want to make sure that my cat will be as comfortable as possible and that my sister will actually want to spend time in there - because in addition to feeding, watering, grooming, and cleaning up after her, I need her to keep the kitty company. She's going to miss me a lot, I know. As it is right now, even I don't want to be in there.

The worst thing about trying to clean my room is that something is wrong with the wiring so the only light I can get is from a desk lamp and my door if I open the curtains. So when I'm most awake and willing to clean, which is in the middle of the night, I can't actually see well enough to do anything.

I start my new job on Monday (yeah, I got it!) so maybe I'll manage to switch my sleep schedule around and be alert in the afternoons and then I can get some stuff done. That would be pretty awesome.
