Where's My Floor?

 It's been a while since I've cleaned my room. 

Like I've 'spot' cleaned it. Made the bed. Done the laundry...even occasionally put away the laundry.

But....I've had stuff piled around my floor that I've had since like Christmas....that I hadn't yet put away.

So today I had the simple goal of getting my floor cleaned at least. 

I figured if I had that goal...then it would be easier to not get overwhelmed.

As I still need to declutter a few areas...like get rid of some clothes and other odds and ends I don't need anymore. As well as reorganize my knickknacks to make room for more knickknacks I've obtained over the last few months. 

But today. Today I was focusing on my floor. 

Which first step was to make my bed. As I have a ton of blankets on my bed...and they all end up on the floor over time since I'm a restless sleeper. 

Second step was to do the laundry. And to actually put away the finished laundry afterwards.

Third step was to gather and take out the trash. 

Since I still hadn't really cleaned up from Christmas there were a lot of boxes holding various gifts around my room. As well as other odds and ends trash things that have just ...found their ways into various spots around my room.

Fourth step would then to be to organize and put away the various other objects on my floor that weren't trash, clothes, or blankets. 

And yah.

I think I did pretty well overall. I mean. I can see my floor again! So woot!

I even had the energy to clean up around my 125 gallon fish tank as well today as I took one look as I was taking out the trash from my room and noticed that the shelves under the tank were...well cluttered with stuff I wasn't using and didn't need to hoard anymore. So that went under a bit of cleaning as well.

And I was feeling so proud of myself because my other roomie who shares the same floor as me...complains often about finding spiders in her bedroom.

But like I never see them in mine.

And with how long some of the stuff has been sitting on the floor I wasn't going to be surprised if I had found spiders hiding among the things there.

But I didn't!!

..... Until I was reorganizing the various cords to various electronic things near my bed and THERE was the spider. A nice brown one that unfortunately blends into my brown floor. >_<  *shudders* It nearly vanished under my bed, but I managed to catch the creature (hopefully it wasn't a hobo. Ewww) and toss it outside. 

But yah.

I feel quite accomplished today lol. I'm glad I actually had the energy to make my room look a bit cleaner today.

Maybe I'll be able to continue later on with decluttering and organizing....but at least for today I'm content that my floor is visible and clear enough that I could get a vacuum in there. 

Yay for accomplishments lol. 

Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
