Plans for the weekend:
Clean the kitchen, living room, and bedroom.

What got done this weekend:
Most of the kitchen and living room.

My original plan (made prior to Thursday night) was to clean the kitchen and living room Friday since I was off for the holiday and then clean my bedroom Saturday. But at dinner Thursday (Saturday was my birthday but my daughter and son-in-law had a wedding to attend so we got together Thursday for my birthday instead) my mother said she wanted to come over Saturday (now that I'm an adult and don't really care as much, she insists on spending my actual birthday with me).

So I altered my plans in that I would clean my bedroom Saturday night instead of during the day. However, I only finished wiping down the counters and stove Friday. I have been fighting a toothache for a couple of weeks now and my head was hurting a bit Friday even though my tooth wasn't.

I know how my mother feels about sitting in my house when it's not 'clean' (meaning when there is clutter and visible dust) so I called off Saturday and managed to dust everything except the two side tables and the bar. I also didn't vacuum.

I had planned to vacuum after 9 because I could turn the air down and wouldn't get as hot but I was just done. So I took a shower instead.

I did walk this morning, it actually felt good after not walking for over a week. The whole time I was getting ready I was saying that I did not want to but I knew I should, so I did. I wanted to keep going after the first commercial break but my knee gave just the tiniest bit and I decided to stop rather than risk tripping and falling.

At least you got a lot accomplished. Happy Birthday. Hope it was a good one. I have to clean in shifts. I never have enough energy to do it all in one day. I have to force myself to exercise. I do Monday, Wednesday and Friday swim and water aerobics. I've always been jealous of a friend of mine. She does her housework every day. Its not even dirty in such a short time. 😂😂

I have to force myself to clean and exercise as well. My mother has always cleaned daily, not a deep clean, though. She'll pick up clutter, sweep the floors, wipe down counters, that kind of thing. I also have to do things in shifts. I'll clean as much as I can before I'm either out of breath or my back hurts, then I'll sit down and watch something on TV, then get up and do more. It takes hours but I'd rather not kill myself.
