Company coming motivates me to do more than the usual dust and vac run through. Just today and my last day off I did all my windows, curtains, shampooed the carpets, washed all my winter blankets, dust ruffles and mowed the grass. Haven't dusted yet...Yes I am expecting company but don't know exactly when so am doing the jobs that stay done a while unlike dusting.

I also clean when I want to relax, just can't unwind in a room full of clutter although living alone my clutter piles don't travel all over the house like they used to. I don't need a spotless room to relax just some order and not enough dust to write myself notes in.


Does anyone else need a tidy space in order to relax in it?
