Used to be my friends came over frequently.  My house got picked up, brushed, cleaned, shined regularly because I wanted to welcome guests with that clean fresh smell floating out of my home.  And then that changed for all of us.

How I keep myself active and moving each day is by going on walks with my dog.  We walk 6 am, 9:30 am. 1:30 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 10 PM.  We log in over 5 miles a day.  We walk at a good solid pace.

Cleaning is not my favorite thing.  I have developed two habits this past two years.  I close and open my home for myself, just as if I was living in a restaurant, but not quite as scouring bleachy.  The sink is clean, the dishes are done, the britta water is refilled so I have filtered water for coffee in the morning and water to drink if I am parched during the night, all the lights are off, all the electric things are off, the livingroon is picked up, the doors are locked, the soap holders have soap, the toilet paper is in place – all those little things, so that when I wake up, my home is pleasantly nice to be in.  In the morning I have coffee and wipe all the floors with a micro pick up mop.  I have apartment building neighbors and an electric vacuum is to noisy.  And this way I start each day with Ollie’s and my hair on the floor at minimum.

Just how I do it, thought I’d share.  Cheers.

Anyone else miss game night?
