He's the one who cares a whole lot more than I do about a clean house. In fact, my threshold for cleaning seems to be only when I can no longer find things. That takes quite a while. Anyway, I wanted to demonstrate that the house hasn't completely reverted to chaos while he's been away.
OK, it took most of the day today, but you don't understand. Cleaning things up in ONE day used to be beyond possible. My friend Betty always said that she liked to keep her house only a half-hour away from being presentable for company. Haha! I was usually about a half-month away from that condition. But she did teach me a lot about getting organized.
Anyway, I can't find my favorite fall tablecloth (why isn't it where it belongs? Seriously, I'm usually good at getting things back in their homes when they have a home). So I visited our new Hobby Lobby for the first time. I checked out what kinds of things they are stocking here (it's not the huge stores of the big cities). I'm delighted to find that they have a decent fabric and sewing section, and a good selection of yarn. Art and craft supplies, as well as the usual decorative stuff. Well, they had a huge sale on decor, so I did buy a plastic tablecloth for $1.19, and a candle.
Then I got out my favorite fall/harvest/Thanksgiving collection that I bought long ago. Voila!
The dining room is pretty clean. That especially will make Om happy. He really struggled with the mess during the years I was working on the trailer. I have a few things to sort in the living room and vacuum, but the kitchen is done and I have just a few things out of place in the basement (which is really his space).
The only walking that happened today was around stores and the house. But I did get the much-needed groceries. I mean, when you are out of ice cream, lettuce, and bread, it's time to shop!

Lulu: "Is that an orange tablecloth? Better be careful, our Dada might sneak over and steal it ..."
I like your collection that you have on the table. Nice fall touch.
I've found that I'm better at cleaning the house now that I live alone because there is no one to blame the mess on.
Lulu- I suspect even Dada would consider it more efficient to go buy his own for $1.19 than to steal mine. Of course, if he came here I could finally meet him. Unless he was concerned about being caught in his thievery.
Ann- Thanks. I'm worse. There is no one home who cares if I'm alone.
