Housecleaning

This morning I decided to give my apartment and deck a good cleaning. I took all the throw rugs out to the deck and gave them a good shaking, Then vacuumed the apartment. After I put the throw rugs back in place I scrubbed the bathroom from top to bottom. Everything looks shiny clean I got out the nice woody smelling furniture polish and polished the furniture. I cleaned all mirrors and washed windows. Then on to the deck. I mopped the floor and wiped down all the deck furniture. Then came the laundry. I only did the white clothes. I saved the colored clothes for tomorrow when I give the kitchen an extra good cleaning. Now I’m tired and am doing nothing more today than Mylotting If anyone came in they’d never know I’ve spent the day cleaning. My apartment is always clean but deep cleaning must be done occasionally. What did you do today?

Well I didn't clean, but you did a lot. I just rested today.

We all must have a day to rest. I could have rested today but I wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

@RubyHawk I know what you mean. When you feel like doing it you do.

I like to have a very clean house, but with this heat I am doing very little, I can feel my heart racing at the minimum effort.

@RubyHawk - Until this heatwave lasts I am slowing down and only do what is really necessary and nothing more.

@LadyDuck That’s a good idea. My apartment is small and It isn’t hard to keep it clean.

You should be careful. Nobody would have noticed if I hadn’t done a thing but I felt so bad after my prolia injection and yesterday was the first day I’d felt like doing anything. So that’s finished for awhile.

I love doing housecleaning and feels good after I see the wonderful change in my home but sometimes I feel lazy. I'm glad you enjoy your house cleaning

Actually my apartment is always clean but I like to go over everything occasionally. One person living doesn’t require much extra cleaning.

Got all of my work done yesterday I wanted to do and spent a little time in the pool with the wifey. Today I intend to be a lazy oaf, which is fine since it is raining and the wifey might do some shopping.

That’s a good way to spend the day. I might have done the same if our pools were open. It’s a bright sunny day here.

@porwest So you must buy your chemicals and keep up your pool or pay someone to do it.

OH yesterday, I had grand plans but didn't actually do much. I guess the most interesting thing was making rice krispy treats. These were the best ones I ever made, and made them in the microwave, no sticky saucepan to clean up.

It is a hard physical work to give your room and deck clean swept and keep every nook and cranny spotless !
