Did Some Vacuuming And Dusting

OMG, I realize that the older I get, the stiffer I get and the more difficult it is to do the vacuuming and moving things around. I can see that it won't be far down the road now that I will hire a "housecleaning" service. It might save my mental health and my back and neck. Are you still doing your own cleaning or do you have someone coming and doing it for you?

I'm partially disabled, so it's a struggle, but I keep going. I won't admit defeat! Mostly, because I can't afford to hire someone to do it for me.

@marlina Thanks! It's okay though, it helps keep me going when there's always something to do, haha (even if I'm going slowly).

I hope that one day you will be able to afford someone to come and help you out.

@Lady_Justice Going slowly is better than standing still.

I am doing my own cleaning and it's getting harder for me as well. I don't have time to clean on weekdays so everything is messy during the weekend. I have been thinking seriously about a cleaning service as well but I am not sure if I can handle the cost.

A cleaning service is expensive but I am seriously thinking about it.

@marlina The great advantage of the cleaning service is that they will do the hard work. Then, with a little work every day you can keep everything clean and tidy.

Cleaning? What's that? I get The Boy to do the heavy work. The dishwasher does the dishes. I wash clothes and the sun dries them. I need a maid too.

I still do my own house cleaning but every time I drag out the vacuum I think it would be nice to have a maid :)

We have central vac but we still have to bring the hose to the other story which is a pain.

House cleaning is not my cup of tea, nor is cooking. Here in India having maids is common.

I would like someone one day, but as long as I can manage I would like to continue cleaning my own house.
