One of my Stashbuster friends made a comment about Flylady.
Oh my gosh, I hadn't heard of FlyLady in ages! I read all her stuff at one time, and really resonated with the idea of shining your sink. She didn't say "Clean the kitchen!" or "Wash everything!" The idea was to just get one thing you were proud of, not overdo it or try to change everything all at once.
I never subscribed to her idea of constant email reminders, though. Or even scheduled cleaning. I rebelled against anyone telling me it was time to mop the floor! I can see the floor, and I'll decide when to mop it, and it might not be Tuesday.
When I was younger, I would scrub the tile with a brush, then rinse it more than once, dry it with towels that were about to go in the washing machine anyway, and seal it with (what was the name of that semi-permanent stuff - had to be removed with ammonia???) Then the floors only needed a quick swipe with a damp mop.
Ah, well, if I get down to scrub the floor like that now, I may not be able to get up!
I read 170 books in 2022, 223 books in 2023, and 200 books in 2024. (Goodreads) Just found a notebook in which I listed 543 books that I read in 1993-94. I added a description of each, but rarely left stars, except for 5s and 2s. Do you think I should add them to my Goodreads and Librarything? Hahahahahaha
Winter's Frost is the name of the pattern (from Ravelry), for Denise, Lynnette, Rebecca, Bev, and me, respectively. (I rarely knit socks that have a specific Left and Right.)
Gothic Lace Doily by Elizabeth Ann White There is only one row remaining to do, and have about 12" of thread left. But I think it looks fine just as it is. It was not lying flat until I wet-blocked it. Super easy to do - finished it in 2 days
