This afternoon I felt the urge to clean, so I followed that energy. I vacuumed the carpets, and mopped the floors. I used hot water with my homemade liquid soap for the first coat, then followed it with hot water mixed with white vinegar for the rinse. The house feels clean. The air feels different; it reminds me of my mom's house. She was an exceptional housekeeper. I am no where near at her level, but she cleaned for hours every day. She would approve. She loved this place. She found her big house a burden as she got older.
I dusted the furniture, as well. The past couple of days I've been catching up on the laundry, and will deep clean the bathroom and kitchen tomorrow. It is much easier to take care of a small home as you age. I'm so glad that I opted for older furniture and appliances. They are extremely well made. The newer stuff falls apart so quickly. I love what I have; it's sturdy and trustworthy. My Kenmore washer and dryer are fifty years old, and they are still going strong. My stove/oven is seventy years old, and it works perfectly. It's a relief not to need to have repairmen in the house right now. I don't want to take the risk, with Covid.
I'm going to do some yoga before bed. It helps to have healthy routines during these times. Our habits create our future. I am so thankful that I stayed on a disciplined budget for all of these years. It has made the pandemic much easier for me than it would have been when I was younger. How are you faring?
