My Friday Routine

Hi friends! Yesterday was Friday, which, at this point in my life means that I clean the house.

Here’s what I do.

First, a confession. I do laundry ever single day. A load of towels, and a load of clothes every day. Weekly loads include the bathroom linens (shower curtain, rug, etc.), living room blankets and the bedding. My kids clean their own rooms and wash their own sheets. (They’re the best, no lie.)

I start with the downstairs bathroom, clean and disinfect all surfaces. Vacuum and mop.

Next I do the dining room. Same process, wipe down the table and chairs, ice machine/table and water machine. Vacuum and mop.

Next is by far the messiest room of the house : the kitchen. Wipe down the cabinets, counters and appliances. Vacuum and mop.

Finally to close out the downstairs, I dust, vacuum and mop the living room.

Next and not pictured, I dusted and vacuumed the upstairs which includes the master suite and the office.

Also, I’ve been trying to get into walking again. I wish that I hadn’t fallen out of the habit, but I’ve been stopped in the neighborhood a couple times by older gentlemen wanting to chat and it’s made me very uncomfortable so I stop going for long stretches. Just them telling me their noticing me is weird. Maybe it’s just me, and I’m sure they mean no harm but I like to think my neighbors don’t notice me fighting for my life to breathe while I’m walking. 😂

I was up to 3.6 miles every day. So 1.5, as you can see from my watch above means I still have a ways to go.

Then I took a shower, and started making dinner.

One of my husband’s favorite meal is that pasta that went viral on tiktok with the feta and cherry tomatoes. (google it, you’ll find it.)

For my family’s preference, I blend the sauce. (And actually strained it the second time I made it to remove the tomato skins which made it even better.)
