Blitzing The Kitchen

I have been in a pretty bad mood for the last few days, feeling really fed up and just over this whole lockdown thing. Don’t get me wrong I agree with it and I am sticking to the rules, but I was just over it.

I needed something else to focus on.

Some kind of project.

Something to take my mind of the fact that I was over it all.

That something came today in the blitzing of the kitchen.

Our kitchen, is as I think in most houses the place in the house that gets used the most and is always having things happen in it.

And that leads to it also being the dumping ground, and the shit hole at times in our house.

Currently it is also where the kids are home schooling and where my little Tropic office space is, not that any of that is happening at the moment, and is where I do the schooling admin at the end of the day.

It is a busy place.

And always has something going on.

And it was getting messy.

Not just every day mess, the drawers were messy, the cupboards were getting messy, things were going missing and it was time it all needed a bit of sort out.

So last night when I started to tidy I started it and I finished it today.

I have cleaned down all the sides, done the washing up, tidied. The general cleaning so to speak.

I have moved some bits around swapping the toaster and microwave with the kettle and the coffee machine. I have cleaned out all of the cupboards, I have checked the date on all the foods, even down to the spices.

I have moved appliances around and cleaned out the island in the middle of the room.

Cleaned out the fridge, dusted the shelves and made a mini bar.

Which meant I even had to clean the top of the fridge with a bit of hubbies help as I was too short, and sort out all the dog things that are kept at the top of the fridge.

It has been full on.

But so so worth it.

I have been in a better mood.

I have a tidy kitchen nothing makes me feel happier, except maybe a tidy bedroom and the whole room is sparkling.

And less cluttered and I actually feel calm in the room, which if I am honest I haven’t felt for a while so a huge bonus for me.

The only problem is I feel I need to do the same level of cleaning in all the rooms now!
