I love the feeling I get when I finally do something that's been bugging me for a real long time but put off doing because it seems hard. I feel a little sheepish when I realize, "hey! that wasn't so bad after all!!"
On Saturday, I was taking a shower and looking at my disgusting curtain liner - again. Didn't that thing used to be white? Now it was pretty dingy and mildewed at the bottom - such a difficult, cumbersome and taxing job to clean - or so I thought. And then, for some reason, I actually dealt with it, rather than simply letting it depress me. I got out of the shower, took it down and tossed it in the wash machine with some detergent and bleach.
WOW! That shower curtain was white as snow in 30 minutes - with no real effort on my part! I popped it back into place and have completely enjoyed the feeling of satisfaction I've gotten from it ever since. I've actually walked into the bathroom several times for no other reason than to admire my handiwork.
Now, not everyone has shower curtains. Some people have shower doors - and obviously you can't pop them into the wash machine. I remember how bad my shower door used to get at my old house, full of water spots and soap scum. The little grooves around the door could get pretty nasty.
Today's Small Thing is to clean up your shower curtain or shower door. Although this seems like a super hard job, if you get right on it, it will only take a few minutes. That's because you don't have to clean one single other thing around it. See, usually, by the time I finish cleaning the whole bathroom, I'm too exhausted to deal with the shower curtain. By doing the curtain (or door) ONLY, we will be sure to get it done!
POINTS: 60 for making your shower curtain or door sparkle! What a great Monday task! You'll be admiring your handiwork for days!
Do you have any tips for making this job easier??
