Today has been a day of marathon laundry. This is so I won't have any down in the basement in case of flooding. Or if my power goes out, I'll have lots and lots of clean clothes. Amazing how many loads I can do, when it includes towels, sheets, and dirty soccer clothes twice a day. It still takes me an inordinately long time to do things which bothers me. I have been rescuing my living room on a daily basis from a build up of fur dustballs that have entered my house since we got a new doggie. She is very clean when you pet her, but definitely creates a whole other dynamic of vacuum needs. Other than that I have been serving up meals and snacks non stop, and although I've been keeping up with the kitchen it is far from magazine worthy. My motto today is I'll do what I can to keep the rooms as clutter free as possible, in case we have to light candles or move about in the dark. Starting now I will move as fast as possible for the next hour to accomplish this, and then have a cup of tea and start making lasagna for dinner. I hopefully will report back soon on my progress.
