Very slow moving in the a.m.

A night owl!

I've always been the type who jumps out of bed and hits the floor running.  I always wake up 20 minutes before the alarm goes off too.  I'm still working but I'll probably be the same after I retire.  Both my parents were early risers into their 80's.

Oh OK, I am up early. Then, I drink two cups of coffee while on my IPad. Then, I usually have something to eat,  Do I ever get anything done before 11, hmmm - no.

Slacker ? Poke ? - HA I guess so !! Most definitively !!

If I need to go to the grocery store, I am up and at 'em much earlier than usual.   I like to be in the store by 8:30, pick up breakfast, and be home in time to watch our usual morning game shows.   

The days of me getting up early to clean on this house are long gone.   My need for "deep cleaning" is gone, and it's not coming back.  I don't want it to come back, period; I lowered my standards a long time ago.  There is no filth or nasty smell in this house, my kitchen and bathrooms are very clean, so all is good.   

I used to be a clean freak; spend my entire day cleaning one area to the point there wasn't a speck of dirt to be found in that room when I was done.  To my family the room looked exactly like it did when they left that morning, but I knew every piece of furniture had been moved, walls dusted, furniture dusted and vacuumed, woodwork wiped by hand, drapes fluffed and refreshed in the dryer, floor mopped and everything put back together.   I eventually realized what I had spent all day doing, mattered only to me.   I also realized I was feeding my OCD tendencies to do this stuff, because deep down I knew I could live quite well in this house without wasting all that effort.  So I quit doing it, and just live peacefully in this house every day.

      Wow, I'm impressed but also glad you stopped.   I've never heard of dusting walls and with our 20 ft. ceilings wouldn't dream of even attempting it.

Hilarious.   DH is the toaster; I'm the cat.   We both got a good chuckle out of this.
