dream_labyrinthWhoever said that it is a good idea to live in a big house never had to clean it.
We live in a farmhouse that's something like 100 years old. For German measures, that's not that impressive. But it is pretty good.
My grandmother and my father were born in this house. My great-grandfather built it. This is my home, it really is, even though we moved in only 14 years ago.
But when I go and clean 3 bathrooms and a huge living room, two offices, a smaller living room and the library and something like 44 steps and four landings and a bannister that is beautifully wrought but a hell to clean and have to do all that within a week because we are going to have to find room for something like 20 people here who come for my sister's wedding and my mom doesn't have the time to do it all by herself, I wish I could live in a little apartment with only three rooms or so.
I guess I'd hate that, though. I'm not used to live in rooms where the ceilings lower than three meters. I will have a hard time to adjust when I move out.
But today is Sunday. I have decided to do only things I want to do today. I'm going to do some cross stitch and maybe check out the sewing machine I got to celebrate my exam. I'm going to practice that contact juggling, yesterday it seemed as if I finally was getting anywhere with it. I need to sew on some buttons and repair some clothes. I need to check on my dress for the wedding and I need to find out how many bobby pins and flowers my sister wants/needs to put in her hair, because I agreed to buy them.
With that much to do, I better get going...
