Never as clean

I've been preparing to move and something has been nagging at me. It kind of started when I was cleaning my oven at 7:20 this morning. I thought I'd give myself something to do while Gracie ate her breakfast. I also admit, that I was feeling guilty that I had sprayed the oven cleaning spray in the oven on Saturday morning and never got back to it. Anyway, I wiped my oven out with surprising ease and thought to myself... "I have never cleaned this oven once while I lived in this apartment. Why can I do this in hopes of getting my deposit back and not for the joy of having a clean house."

By the end of the week I will have cleaner walls, baseboards, a spotless fridge, and a dust free environment. I have dusted, cleaned the fridge, and done most chores while I've been here. I just feel like I'm better at cleaning every nook and cranny when I know something depends on it. So, here is to cleaning my house better for my landlord and the next tenants than I've cleaned it for myself. And here's to those who clean their ovens when they aren't going to be inspected.
