TODAY I CLEANED

My SIL and nephew are due to arrive within the next six hours, so I have spent the day cleaning. I mean, cleaning. Laundry is one load from being completed (which is a feat in itself), kitchen is almost spotless (the piles of stuff on the breakfast bar are semi-permanent, I've decided), the floors and baseboards have been scrubbed, carpets Dyson'ed, bathrooms bleached. I even cleaned out the guest room - a.k.a. "garage sale staging area" - so that I could set up the daybed. (Is it daybedS if you pull out the trundle and make up both of them?)

Now I am exhausted. And in desperate need of a shower. I just hope there's still some hot water left after all the laundry I've done today.
