I tried

So tonight I tried to break free from my usual habit of procrastinating and packing the night before/morning of a trip. I was planning on doing my laundry so I could pack and have that out of the way. Right before I was about to load up my bag to head next door (I love being right next to the laundry room, so convenient), there was a knock at the door. It was maintenance. He said one of the machines had flooded so he wanted to see if there was any water damage on our side. Nope, there was not. I then went to check the laundry room only to find not one, but two machines are currently out of commission. The second machine won't start. That leaves only one machine, which means I'm going to have to watch it like a hawk if I want to be able to wash my clothes. Saturday is the busiest laundry day (obviously). I have a feeling that I'm just going to end up doing my laundry at 3am since another one of my pre-traveling habits is to get no sleep the night before. At least I can say I tried.

Obviously my kitchen looks nothing like this, but it looks nice and clean

I also did some serious cleaning today. Cleaning checks are Tuesday, but I won't be here. I called the lady that does them to see if I could do mine tomorrow so I could be present in case anything needed to be touched up. I have a feeling they would fail me and charge me if I was not here since it's a "final" cleaning check (spring semester is over and people move out). I haven't heard back from her yet. Since there are only two of us right now (Marjorie is in Michigan doing an internship), someone gets three jobs while the other gets two. I decided to take the three and just did the whole kitchen (fridge, floor, and stove).

Confession: I actually enjoyed cleaning! Almost had a heart attack, didn't ya? I know, I was very surprised at myself. Anyone that knows me can tell you I am not a fan of cleaning. It was a nice day so I had the window open and my music blaring, which definitely affected the mood I was in while cleaning. Also, the kitchen wasn't that dirty from last month when I cleaned. The fact that there are only two of us also cuts down on messes. All this cleaning made me feel really productive today and I love knowing that things are clean.

I'm so excited that I have only one more day before I go home!!
