I just might keep a log for next time. I was disappointed that I tried so hard this past few weeks because I knew this appointment was coming up, and because I needed to try, and scale went up and down but really didn't budge.
I timed mopping whole house. Another 2 hours +. So all told to get these floors all done including behind chairs and things (pulling them out) 4 1/2 hours. Add in changing sheets, dusting everything, wiping everything in the kitchen, shining mirrors, cleaning all 3 bathrooms... and there is all day long with not many breaks if any. And that's not sweeping porches outside either. Good reason I can't do it all in one day any more.
Course this time I went over all the baseboards as I went along, and got behind everything I could except for the couple places I did when I cleaned those carpets... and that's no time spent folding clothes or tidying anything, picking up shoes, etc. I still need to clean leather furniture. You wouldn't believe DH's recliner. He comes in from work like pig pen and collapses in his chair... so it gets pretty bad.
I do keep the kitchen mopped a bit and hallways where we come in and in front of our chairs more often, but this whole house clean is a bear to get done.
Anyway, I've finished all the sock darning. 15 socks, probably 45-50 little holes woven-mended. Anything beyond 3 or 4 on a sock I threw it away, not worth the time.
Guy never came by for his check they were so desperate for. On a good note, the wire transfer showed up in our account today!
We're solvent today - at least for a little while. Oh, and we had a bunch of rain this afternoon too.
