DH & I spent 2.25 hours working together in the living room, which was UNDER seige from DUST: plaster, wood, stone, general living DUST.
We vacuumed UNDER (and over) every single solitary thing. Moved ALL furniture to have access to the UNDERSIDE of everything. I was sooooooooooooooo upset, you have no idea. I had been WINNING the war on dust, but this summer's renovations (here and other homes on our street) just did us UNDER.
I know you folks UNDERSTAND how stressful cleaning can be. My hands are very bad, as I had one small episode of skin picking (no blood, but a bit of ragged cuticle).
2.25 hours for 2 people who did NOT take breakst: 4.5 work hours: JUST DUSTING. No pets. No kids. No food mess. JUST DUST.
thanks you for understanding.

I'm going to hide UNDER the covers for a couple of hours.  I need a nap due to the birthday party keeping me out past my bedtime. |

Got under the microwave stand where the kittens go to mess when they don't want to go to the box. It is a constant battle to keep that area from deteriorating to level 3, so this was a much needed word.

Yesterday, I washed my underwear!
Today, I met with my nutritionist. She underscored the fact that I need to drink more water.
I've underslept. I need more sleep. And on that note, good night!

I made a special point of sweeping UNDER the furniture. All too often, I just sweep "Heloise's middle.'
