New attitude
I used to not invite people home unless it was immaculate- so, not very often. It was always exhausting, cleaning and shoving stuff out of sight for company.
I asked a new friend to come for dinner today, had to move it to Sunday, so I could rest with my cold most of today. Earlier, I wrote my usual cleaning list, puttered around in between naps and cups of tea, doing bits of cleaning. Just finished sweeping the lovely new floors. Looked around and decided;" Well, that will be enough". Life is too short to spend it cleaning. I will probably tidy the bathroom in the morning, empty the dishwasher and wipe down the kitchen counters. I will not be washing the kitchen and bathroom floors, nor will I be scrubbing the tub, finishing the laundry or cleaning the windows. Boxes, tools, ladders etc will stay where they are. No sense putting stuff away, only to have to find it again when I need it to hang pictures etc.
My friend is bringing a bottle of bubbly, we will sip, nibble on shrimps, nuts etc, while the duck cooks, play with the dogs, chat in front of the fire, maybe watch a movie.
