Dust Busters: How to Clean After an Illness

Image
Hey y'all let's see what's up today! I've been sick, as you all know, and it felt like a good time to share some tips on how to clean your space after an illness. Now, I'm not an expert by any means but my grandmother was a nurse for almost 30 years and she and I also cleaned houses together when I was in highschool so I'm pretty well versed in, at the bare minimum, maintaining a clean space. With that being said, let's get into it! Take A Shower The first thing you're going to want to clean after being sick is obviously your body, you could still have germs lingering on your skin so you're going to want to take a shower, wash your hair, and put on some clean clothes. This is especially true if you've had the flu, COVID, or any other illness that could linger for awhile.

Hey y'all let's see what's up today! We are already well into September which is not ideal, it's certainly not how I wanted to start this month, but that's okay we're just playing a bit of catch up over here. This month is going to be a bit of a long one because I have a lot of things that I need to do and it just feels like I don't have a lot of time to do them all. However, I do plan on spending Sunday and Monday getting things ironed out.  Without further ado, let's go ahead and get into September so that we can at least look like we're up to something! Goals ✍️ Finish Short Story and Novella: I am really really backed up on some writing projects that I told myself "weren't   going to take that long." Newsflash: they absolutely have and I need to get them done this month. 🎨 Finish Current WIP: My current work in progress I actually had to switch from a physical painting to a digital one because I just didn't ha...
