This morning I have been cleaning off and on. I can't do very much for too long. My solution is to take short breaks as soon as I feel my energy going down the drain. And now, taking a few moments to write a short post before I get back up there, dusting and vacuuming our large master bedroom. A lovely shower after all that will feel like I am in paradise. Any mylotter doing cleaning this morning?

No I am not really doing any major cleaning today, I will have to decide what I want to cook for dinner but I think we will be going out to the movies this afternoon.

@marlina I do too that is why we eat out so often lol Especially since it is just the two of us. I did, however, buy a new cook which has inspired me, I tried three new recipes out of the book already and we liked all of them.

@BelleStarr , Somehow I don't like to try new recipes as much as I used to.

I'm like you and do my housecleaning in short spurts with a wee rest in between--lol! Makes it more enjoyable anyway!

@MarymargII After a while cleaning, I feel like my body is completely drained of energy.

Cleaning is one of the tasks I hate very much. If I have to do cleaning, I will try to have a glass of cold lemon juice in the fridge before I start cleaning. The thought of the cold lemon juice is enough to keep me going.

@marlina No, never. If I blend lime juice, I will blend the whole lime. The peel contains a lot of nutrients good for us. The lime juice will be slightly bitter but I do not blend till the peel dissolves.

I can't clean my room if it's not very messy. Bad habit I know.

@marlina but what's the point of cleaning if it's not dirty. I'm debating with myself. Lol

@sol_cee It is much easier to clean when you don't wait too long.

That would be the last thing I would be doing,,,, I only clean when it is visibly dirty and in need of a good swipe. But there is just two of us and we rarely make a mess...

We don't make a mess either, but the dust always comes.

I did some pretty deep cleaning yesterday so I'm taking it easy today. But tomorrow I'll be back in a routine of sorts.

I realize that I find it harder and harder to clean. I can foresee a "cleaning lady" in my crystal ball.

@CRK109 Except sometimes, health interferes and the cleaning doesn't get done as one wishes.

@marlina Cleaning ladies can be such a blessing. After the deep cleaning I did around here the other day, it's very easy to clean in between now. I just have to keep up with that and I'll be fine!

As long as the cleaning gets done eventually.

Yep, that's about how I do it, but I will admit I don't do much cleaning, as there are things I consider more important. I am going to be vacuuming the kitchen today, though, and if I'm up to it maybe somewhere else.

I do the same thing. I do a little work, I take a little break. It takes longer to accomplish anything but at least you are getting something done.

I was cleaning my bathroom before I just took a shower. Right after my shower I set down at the computer and am answering posts. I hate cleaning the bathroom, but who doesn't?

Not yet I might attempt a bit later. A young gal from work is coming to hang out tomorrow. We may do some cleaning and of course, I want things to look reasonably better beforehand.

After our concert and having guests I need to mop the floor in our lounge. It is a big area and I tend to put off doing it but today is the day.

None today, but tomorrow some dusting probably. It certainly piles up quickly!
