Haven't been able to do much in the way of house loving lately, it's been either work or spending time at the hospital. He broke his hip this week and they have found other complicating matters that were the reason he fell in the first place. He's been transferred to another hospital and is now in ICU awaiting spinal surgery. My parents are with him now, I'll head over later on.
The house is really suffering, it's in CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) and my compulsively clean Aunt came by on Sunday - am so glad we weren't home.
Thought a bit of Crisis Cleaning 101 was in order, I'm following the steps that Flylady has laid out but did cheat a little - first thing I did was put a load of washing on. For the past 45 minutes I spent 15 minutes in the kitchen, 15 in the family room and then another 15 in the kitchen. Those rooms look so much better.
I am on a 15 minute break right now, having a bite to eat and a cup of tea before heading back for another 45 minutes. I'll cheat again and put the clothes in the dryer and another load on.
Well the timer has gone off and it's back to it
Anolther 45 minutes down, this time I worked on the main bathroom, even mopped it, the dining room ( which right now is my dumping and sorting ground) and the last 15 minutes was dedicated to the loungeroom. All rooms look much better, though there is still more to do in the lounge and dining rooms. I am thinking I will put another couple of 15 minute stints in and then head off to the hospital for a couple of hours so I am back in time to prepare a proper dinner. I'll leave instructions to get started on preparing the veggies while I am gone.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
Isn't Flylady wonderful? I need her reminders to keep me on track. The earrings you made are lovely.
Good luck on the job front. I worked in an office that sounds just like yours and it isn't a pleasant environment to be in.
