6 hours!

It took me 6 whole hours from 1 pm to 7 pm to clean my room.

It sparkles. I never knew how much dirt and dust and crap I’ve been living with. I threw out 5 large garbage bags of junk - mostly books and papers and notes from as far back as 8th grade. I didn’t need them and I don’t know why I kept it.

I also got rid of the carpet. Under it was a city of dirt. I don’t know how it got there considering I vacuum on a regular basis. From the outside my room looked clean and tidy, but by taking everything apart did I really come to know the truth.

The only missing thing is a lick of paint now.
