So, I’ve never had the experience of “spring cleaning.” I think the point of it is that around that time of year, summer’s coming, the air is fresh and warm. People throw open their windows, and clean from top to bottom. A fresh start. Very symbolic I guess.

Generally, I’m a complete slob. However, around Christmas time, I get my nesting spree. I clean, tidy, organize, decorate. That’s how the last couple days have been spent.

Right now I’m burning some wonderful candles, and nag champa incense (ah the memories that brings), and sitting back. I’m celebrating all that I’ve cleaned, and I’m cringing in delight at what I have left to do.

Cleaning always makes my brain feel cleaner. Life seems easier, everything just spins better. I think my timing for this “spring cleaning” is mostly based on the fact that I tend to be stressed out more at this time of year than any other time. It helps alleviate the stress.

Man, wait until after Christmas. That’s when it peaks. I tend to break out paint brushes and hammers. Actually, that would be a perfect time to move I think. It would give me a fresh palate to work with.

*ponders*

Actually, we really are thinking of moving. We’re in a basement suite right now. It’s dark, crowded, ugly, and in a crappy area. We’d much prefer to buy a house. But with both of us broke and me in school–who knows when that could ever happen. Not to mention the sky high prices of houses here.

By the way, I’m thinking of moving when I graduate. I’m pushing for Toronto (I’ve never been there, it’s big and exciting, more of an adventure). R. would rather go to Vancouver or Victoria. I can’t say I mind that idea. Vancouver IS my favorite city after all. It’s just not new and exciting. Plus, Toronto offers better internship and training programs for new nursing graduates.

So, all you Ontariariaians out there….maybe I’ll see you soon.

Maybe I’ll be stuck in this one horse town forever.

ok…fine…two horses…but still.

Anyway, I think I’ll pick another podcast and get back to cleaning. Ugh! I have to prepare for clinical tomorrow as well. I have to be up at 5:30.
