  5. Oh, you're good. It must be so satisfying to cross all that off your list. Great job with all of that walking, too. You are an inspiration.

  10. Way to go across the board, dear Hope. Even though it takes a toil on me (big time) health wise, I sincerely enjoy house cleaning, too, and like to do a huge, thorough clean like the one you're in midst of at least a couple of times a year, too. Usually I do so in spring and fall, but will be bumping this year's fall cleaning up to late summer, as we're going on holiday later this season and I want to house to be spic and span before leave (especially since my mom always sweetly house + pet sits for us while we're away and I want the place to be in top shape before she does so).

    Big hugs & happy mid-August wishes,
    ♥ Jessica
