Swabbing the decks

Mom wants us to scrub our deck. It's a pretty nice deck but is starting to resemble ever-so-slightly the deck of Davy Jone's ship, whatever it was called. It's sort of black and damp looking all the time and the lichens are encroaching. So I put on my BU rugby shirt and had at it for a while. I really made a difference! I love scrubbing things. I am starting to love to clean... not so much to tidy, but to clean. That is step one. Tidying will come next. When I have the budgetary fortitude to have dozens of cute Container Store whatnots in my house, it will be tidy like you've never seen.
