Company will be here in a few hours. Why am I online instead of cleaning the house???   
It didn't help that I spent this morning  (Well, not the scratching part. At least, I don't think I did.)
Somebody send me vibes of cleaning energy and super speed! LOL

3. Look at the tasks individually, not as a whole
|
Looking at the whole job is what is overwhelming. Do the things you least dislike first. And . . . just vacuuming can make all the difference.
Plus, and I know it is weird, extra sleep can tire you out.  |

played around and left too much for the last day. Oh well, it's looking and smelling pretty decent now.
And I know about too much sleep being bad, but it never feels bad when you're doing it.  |

Hope you got things straightened out before company came, and that you got good help from the little ones. I miss those days, when cleaning was still a fun game to them. Teenagers just whine their way through everything.  |
