Spring Cleaning: Spring Break Style

Step 1. Wait until the last day of break to actually start cleaning.

Step 2: Eat breakfast. You must fortify yourself for the day. And it has to be a hearty breakfast, with eggs, a breakfast meat, and a bready substance. With juice. And tea.

Step 3: Start small. Mirrors are easy. So is dusting. Maybe even the table if there's not a lot of mail on it.

Step 4: Take a break. Watch a show like oh...say Unsung Hollywood: Charlie Murphy. After all, it is a fitting tribute.

Step 5: Start instructing son on how to clean his bathroom, including scrubbing all his dried toothpaste. Scrub where he can't reach.

Step 6: Read a couple chapters of that book you've been reading.

Step 7: Get around to mopping bathroom floor.

Step 8: Rearrange linen closet to put away comforters and towels. Fold said towels while watching a movie. Wait until movie is over before putting towels away.

Step 9: Drink two more cups of tea.

Step 10: Start binge watching a TV show. My choice: Netflix Master of None with Aziz Ansari. I can't believe this show is only rated 2.5 stars.

Step 11: Wash another load of towels. Then discover another load of sheets and towels that were washed and never folded. Contemplate why you have so many towels.

Step 12: Have a snack and a drink. You've been hard at work.

Step 13: Randomly put away different items that are lying around: mail, old portfolios, boxes that needed to be put in the garage.

Step 14: More binge watching and more drinks. Just look at the pile of towels at this point.

Full, productive day.
