All good points, thank you for this lovely Sunday morning read - after they've stolen an hour of sleep with the summertime invention.
I kinda hate dust and dusting... but I will get through it, probably wet first. Also will have to mop my walls in the hallway because all the 4 paws visiters have left their traces. Thank you for inspiring me. I'll get to it.
I would rather clean a toilet than listen to someone complain. I don’t know how that rates. Im also good at cleaning up vomit. I did some excellent work recently. Slippers looked like new. A proud moment. Actually gratifying.
OMG vomit. I can’t, but I do if I have to. I remember one day when my oldest was about 18 months old, he threw up on his toys and then when i put him in the bathtub to clean him up he pooped immediately in the tub. You don’t forget moments in motherhood like those LOL.
I like when things look like new when you get done with them. That is why I love to watch all the restorers on YouTube. Watching them upgrade and fix furniture or restore an old house. Not that I would or could do it, but it is a talent for certain.
Great post. I like to cook and so keep the kitchen OK. I do like to get the toilet cleaned. The rest of the inside stuff, just enough to get by. My oldest daughter has a cleaning biz - 'nuff said. But give me a patch of dirt, some seeds and starts, and I'm all in. A curious lifetime quirk is planting trees. Not forests mind you, but onsey and twosys everyplace I've lived.
Oh the boys wipe down the kitchen daily after they clean the dishes. I cook and they do the dishes. Or if I am to be honest, the husband wipes down the kitchen before he comes to bed hours after me.
I think planting trees is great. You are giving back to the earth.
One of the things we love to do is plant trees in Israel through JNF. Its a thing we do in the diaspora. In honor of X or just because. We do it especially on Tubishvat, Jewish Arbor Day, which usually falls sometime in January.
I enjoy your writing and flair for story telling very much.
I admire beautiful bountiful outdoor gardens, floral or vegetable. But, I don’t like dirt or bugs so I am with you, yard work is a pass when I can avoid it.
Mopping the walls! I might try that. With a black cat 🐈⬛ I get a bit if a gray coating on everything. Oddly enough I love to dust and I dusted my bedroom today. It’s more complicated than it sounds because I use my dressing table as a kind of display for the hand made jewelry I’ve collected over the years so to dust I have to carefully remove all the pieces and then put them back. My Zen altar also has to be cleaned with care. Water changed daily on it. I ran out of steam before I got to the living room but my place is so small that it doesn’t take long to clean. Still cat 🐈⬛ fur gets everywhere. It’s a sign of love ❤️ for my cat. But I might try mopping what little wall I have
I hate cleaning, though I recognize it must be done. I love to cook, so my boyfriend does the dishes, though I have learned to wash glasses properly. He's a stickler on that one. I'm also no good as a gardener. I handle finances, write poetry, try to teach people that left and right make no sense as prisms for understanding society, and firmly believe Israel must declare sovereignty over Gaza, Judea and Samaria, flood those area with Jews, and lockdown the Palestinians who live there for fifty years. That's what you do to people who make you add it is day 540 of the hostages being held and starved in the terror dungeons of Gaza.

💔 540 days 💔
Thank you for the compliment.
Yeah those four little paws can get everywhere.

I was expecting a Pesach story but no worries I've liked anyway.
Thanks for liking the story.
I don’t “clean” for Pesach. We don’t kosher the house for Pesach. But a Pesach story is going to come. I promise.

Thank you. I love beautiful gardens as long as I am not the one tending them.
Exactly!
