Oven Cleaning Tuesday

Exhibit A. Weekly Cleaning Checklist

In the words of Estelle, “thank you for making me a woman.”

I grew up today. I officially became an adult. An adult who cleans her stove on Tuesday nights.

What are your daily routines? Whether it be making your bed first thing in the morning, writing in a prayer journal at bedtime or cleaning the kitchen every Oven Cleaning Tuesday? I am proud to say I have began utilizing systems. James Clear would be so proud.

I have watched 500+ YouTube tutorials and pinned an infinite amount of images on various daily routines for entertainment purposes only until today. Check out my Pinterest. https://pin.it/6IhirV9

Pinterest has officially changed the trajectory of my life. 

I am not sure who found it first. Nope.  Yes. I do remember. I asked My Married Friend to look for daily cleaning routines and she understood the assignment. 

It’s Tuesday night so I cleaned the kitchen. I am in the middle of cleaning the kitchen. I took a break to write this new beginning.

My official acceptance of adulthood.

Hear ye, hear ye, all who are listening! I, DDCandthecity, do declare from this day forward Tuesdays shall officially be known as Oven Cleaning Tuesday. 

I have washed the dishes, sprayed Clorox All Purpose Cleaner on all the surfaces, and scrubbed the refrigerator. I also mopped. Turns out I should have left mopping as the last chore. It was not a good idea as I am not yet finished cleaning the kitchen but the floor is wet.

Enter this blog.

Lesson: It took me 41 years to become an adult. 

Question: What do you do on Tuesday nights?
