A moment of order

Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning are always a bit of a scramble, as we do a house-wide tidy up in preparation for the cleaning lady. The process is sometimes a little painful.

But.

When I come downstairs after the cleaning lady has been and gone, and look around...







... at a crumb-free, dust-free, sticky-greasy-smear-free, shredded-bits-of-cat-scratching-post-free, all-toys-away kitchen and living room ... a living room and kitchen (and rest of the house) that I did not have to scrub or mop or wipe myself ... well, it's bliss. Bliss bliss bliss.







Even if all the money I earn went solely to pay for the cleaning, I'd do it.

And each and every week I take a good long moment to soak it all in.

Because it doesn't last for long.
