Cleanliness is Next to Forgetfulness
Jan 21, 2022 | Atlanta, GA
When we had Covid earlier on in our stay, I lost my sense of taste. I took the opportunity to buy a huge tub on non-sweetened, vegan yogurt. I thought the probiotics would be good for me, and I wouldn't even have taste it going down. What I didn't anticipate was having more than half of the tub leftover once my taste came back. Thankfully, My pallet became used to the overly tarte nature of it and I began to actually enjoy it. I added some honey from a Christmas present package my dad had sent me (thanks dad), as well as whatever else I had in my kitchen. I know I said I enjoyed the taste nowadays, but it still needed some dressing up. What kind of freak just eats plain, unsweetened yogurt?
Later on a walk, we of course captured even more street art. It truly is never-ending here in Atlanta. We popped into a houseplant store that was also a quaint café where I got a fantastic chai latte.
This is when I started taking cleanliness seriously. Living in a small space can create a lot of clutter and chaos. I saw an idea online to make a cleaning schedule. And if you know me, boy do I love a goddamn schedule. I had a darn good time making it look cute and inviting, and hung it in the kitchen. And it worked out really well for our time there!
But sadly, on the day we moved out and headed for Asheville, I left it there. The only thing we forgot. Still hanging on the wall for the Airbnb hosts to eventually discover and probably admire. They seem like a couple of guys that like a goddamn schedule, too.
