I love fall! I love the smell, the colors, the food and especially the clothes! I hate dirt. I hate dust and I hate mess. This causes a bit of an issue with my love of fall. You see, we live next door to 2 separate grain elevators. Elevators which run 24/7 this time of year. Corn dust has coated my windows, my back patio and my front porch. Which means that every time we open a door, corn dust comes flowing in leaving corn tracks all over my floors and all of my furniture covered in dust. This causes me stress. I have no motivation to clean because I know that I can't clean my windows or rid the house of dust, so I don't. Dog hair and cereal crumbs pile up on my floor which makes my early morning workout feel gross and depressing. Because I can't open the windows, it feels stuffy and smelly inside and I smell things that have no business being smells in my house.
So today, in an effort to rid myself of my annual fall blues, I am cleaning. I am dusting, vacuuming and sweeping. It may only last until Saturday(because Jared will be home all weekend and that means MESS) but at least for the next three days my house will be comfy and cozy again.
On the plus side, my house is tiny and I only have one bathroom which means cleaning the entire house takes less than an afternoon...or a little longer if Molly tries to help :)
