This morning I had to get out of bed earlier than usual to clean the downstairs bathroom. Cleaning is unfortunately necessary when we’re about to have company (in this case, one of Livia’s friends). In a way, I hate having company for that reason. In another way, I’m grateful for company, because it forces me to do sooner what I have to do eventually anyway. In any event, Livia had a fantastic time with her friend, which was all that really mattered for today.
P.S. I’d been putting off cleaning the bathroom because it’s such an awful job. But I’d done a lot of cleaning and decluttering in other parts of the downstairs while procrastinating on the bathroom. That’s proof that procrastination can be a good thing, right?
