Cleaning - Blog Posts
Quarantine is hard, like really hard. You don’t go outside, you have to actually bathe, and you fall back into old habits. So here’s a list of stuff to entertain you during quarantine.
#1. Clean your room/house.
If you’re going to be in your house all the time then why not actually make it pleasant to look at and live in. You can even move stuff, find old things, etc.
#2. Read/finish a book.
Reading is a way to learn new words and to hear a new story. It’s an adventure for the reader, so get immersed into a book. I’m currently reading Be more chill, and I found out it’s different (and maybe even better) than the musical. So go read the stories that are in your house.
#3. Finish/start a Netflix series , anime, cartoon, or movie series.
Although I haven’t done this yet, I have watched a movie I was holding off on watching (the emperors new groove). If you haven’t watched an entire series, then you can catch up on it in the meantime. Another thing to go with this is to watch a series you’ve never watched, but you know is popular.
That’s all I’ve got for you folks, I wish you all luck and have a nice summer!
My favorite way of cleaning is baricading my door and not leaving. It's called the fuck off method<333
Todays mood;
Got day drunk with friends for birthday party
Had a great time singing beyonce and Rihanna while drunk and mixing drinks (spolier: this is BAD.)
Started to feel sick
Started to drink water and stopped drinking the devils piss, aka tequila
Got sick in the sink
Cried
Cleaned up my own vomit
Cried part two
Went to bed
Woke up to friend getting sick in her sleep and all over the couch, floor and possibly on other friends
Other friends started to feel queasy from smell
I was now, regrettably, sober enough to feel better but drunk enough to offer to clean it
I cleaned it
Like a BOSS
Didnt get dick again
Previous friend (see getting sick on couch point) came back and felt bad i was cleaning it up after taking a shower. I reassured her it was fine. It was.
I cleaned the floor in the sitting room (tonights sleeping arrangements) and the floor in th3 hallway, the stairs and the bathroom. Unnecessarily in the bathroom, bevause it was just on the floor not the sink, the toilet and the bath. Stop cleaning things freak.
Went back into the sitting room. Friend still felt sick. Got her a glass of water, watched her drink it, and then got her another.
Overall, i am a cleaner drunk. Not to be mistaken with a CLEAN drunk, no i make a mess but then i feel bad and clean everything in a mile radius.
