Now I definitely did like a 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,480 laundry marathon the other day and I'm a little bit behind on 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,840 folding so that after I do my maintenance cleaning and stuff, 30 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,600 I'm just going to sit back and relax and just focus on folding 31 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360 and putting away today. That's kind of be my going to be 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,880 my focus once I get my house back to a state of I can't think 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,880 of the word not chaos, the opposite of chaos, peace, not 34 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,840 dirtiness. So anyway, so while you're doing 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,680 your laundry switch, just go ahead. 36 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,840 And if you just need to do a lot of towels or something or keep 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,560 it simple. If you have a lot of other stuff 38 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,360 to clean up, that's fine. Just go ahead and do that. 39 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560 And then we're going to move on to the dishes. 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,760 So with the dishes right now, got a mess on my hands. 41 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,480 You know, I was being kind of lazy, just kind of slopped 42 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,440 together some breakfast and I've got a Big Breakfast mess. 43 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:33,560 So first we're going to do a little bit out of order instead 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,960 of doing the dishes first. I'm just going to throw away 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,000 trash just because I've got a lot of trash in my house. 46 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,040 So I'm going to throw away all the trash and just throw it away 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,720 and get that out of the way. And because I have so much trash 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,680 going on in my kitchen, it's going to make a big difference. 49 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,720 And then I'm going to start with the empty reload and run. 50 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,880 So go ahead and do that and don't forget like always to put 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,520 your big pots and pans or things that are kicked on or anything 52 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,880 like that to soak. That way, by the time you get to 53 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760 them, it'll be easy to clean and it'll go really quickly and you 54 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,840 can just knockout those dishes. And then when you're done with 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,640 that, make sure you're emptying all of your dishes from the 56 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:16,960 drying rack and or dishwasher. And then starting with the small 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760 things, working up to the big things while you guys are doing 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280 the dishes and getting your kitchen back to normal. 59 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480 I'm just going to talk to you guys a little bit about the new 60 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,720 year and you can probably guess what I'm going to talk about 61 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,400 just some goals, you know, for yourself cleaning wise and some 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,240 of my goals cleaning wise and what I'm going to do better this 63 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,280 year. But I'm a firm, I believe her 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,880 and always, like I said in many other episodes before, I always 65 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,160 want to evolve my cleaning techniques, my cleaning styles, 66 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,680 the things that I do to motivate myself because my life's ever 67 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,360 evolving. So it's not just for the New 68 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,680 year, but because of New Year's resolution resolutions and all 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320 that, Then we're that's kind of what I'm going to talk about and 70 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,400 that's why I'm going to talk about it. 71 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,680 But always keep evolving with your cleaning plans and stuff 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360 based on your phases of life, what you're going through, 73 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,200 because again, your life is changing and if you keep your 74 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,920 cleaning plans the same all the time, it's not going to work. 75 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400 You can keep your same basic outline. 76 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,600 Obviously, you know, most of my podcast I talk about the same 77 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,760 basic tasks to do, but as far as different ways to motivate 78 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,000 myself and stuff, those are ever changing and evolving be doing 79 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,520 those dishes while I'm talking. So some things that I do try to 80 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,560 always strive for. But this new year and stuff I'm 81 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,640 going to really, really try extra hard is of course just 82 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,840 getting things clean right away. You know, right after I do the 83 00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:58,240 breakfast mess, like right now I, I didn't do that so bad, 84 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Jessica, But right when I make the mess, I want to clean it 85 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,080 back up because I don't want this big disaster and the kids 86 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,920 just running wild doing their crafts and all that and not 87 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,360 picking up right after the mess is made. 88 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,880 So I'm going to really, really try hard to keep up with that. 89 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,120 And same thing with my kids. I want to keep on them harder 90 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,600 this year because I've mentioned this before, but I have trouble 91 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,040 and this is one of the biggest struggles I have in my household 92 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,320 is that my kids kind of are like little tornadoes and they go 93 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,200 from 1:00. But they're very creative and 94 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400 prod. They want to do this craft and 95 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,440 that craft. And I do the same thing. 96 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760 I'm really into crafts and stuff too, which is probably where 97 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,320 they get it, but they kind of just tornado through the house 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,240 and oh, I'm making this shirt for the cat. 99 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,840 That happened just this morning. My daughter was making a shirt 100 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,560 for the cat and then she left all the stuff out and then she 101 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,280 was starting on a different project. 102 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:07,480 And instead of just letting her go room to room to room, 103 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,560 destroying it, I need to stay on them a little bit more and be 104 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640 like, hey, no, you need to clean that up before you start another 105 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,440 project. That's just how things work. 106 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,320 And to do that, I also need to be an example of that by if I 107 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520 make lunch, if I make a sandwich or something, clean all of that 108 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,000 up and wipe it down. And it does seem like common 109 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,520 sense, but you know, we don't always do it and we need to 110 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,320 remind ourselves of that every once in a while. 111 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,360 So, and while you guys are doing the dishes, I'm going to talk 112 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,200 about another thing that I'm going to focus on in the new 113 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:44,200 year is motivating myself a little bit more in the mornings 114 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,520 because I feel like I need to be getting a lot more done in the 115 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,120 morning than I do. I have a tendency to 116 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,480 procrastinate until later in the day to do my cleanup. 117 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,320 And ideally I should be doing a thorough morning shift and night 118 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,080 shift. And I'm usually pretty good 119 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,320 about the night shift, but my morning shifts are kind of 120 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,360 lacking. Like like I said, I kind of just 121 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,800 let things build up and become this big disaster and then I get 122 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,640 kind of stressed out and don't have to like work myself up to 123 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,080 cleaning it. And so that's something that I 124 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,880 definitely want to work on in the new year. 125 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,080 And just in general, I want to work on working really hard, 126 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080 hard to get my energy up and get things moving and pumping right 127 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,720 when I wake up. And this is a lot easier during 128 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,040 the school year because I'm already up getting the kids 129 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,560 ready and everything. And it's been a little harder 130 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,200 during the break. But I need to keep that good 131 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,120 routine no matter what's going on because the more consistent 132 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,880 we are with it, the more habit forming it is and the more we 133 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,040 don't have to think about it before we do it. 134 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,720 It's just something we do and of course, every once in a while 135 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,160 we're going to backslide and fall behind and stuff. 136 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,120 But again, the more we consciously make that decision 137 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,720 every morning and one way I'm going to do that and work on 138 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,200 that a little better is the reason why I'm so slow and lazy 139 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480 in the mornings, especially when the kids don't have school 140 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,560 weekends, breaks, things like that is personally I'm just not 141 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,560 getting like ready when I first wake up. 142 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,800 And that's why I say like get ready for the day in some 143 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,360 capacity before our cleaning session. 144 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,000 Because when I don't get up and just get ready, take a shower, 145 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560 get my blood pump and walk outside or something like I do 146 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,600 when I'm taking the kids to school, I'm just dragging in the 147 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,919 morning. And it really does affect my 148 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:36,919 cleaning. And that's kind of why I just 149 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,720 let the kids tornado throughout the house and then I have a big 150 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,720 mess to clean up. So I'm going to focus more on as 151 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,760 soon as my alarm goes off, I'm going to get up and just start 152 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,320 getting ready whether I feel like it or not. 153 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520 And then again, it forms a habit and eventually it's going to be 154 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,800 second nature and I'm just going to do it without thinking about 155 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,560 it. So if you have a dishaster on 156 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:01,760 your hands, then just keep working on those dishes. 157 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,480 But if you are nearing the end of your dishes and you want to 158 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,040 start with the rest of your kitchen, then go ahead. 159 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,560 And if you haven't already thrown away the trash like we 160 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,200 did at the beginning can do that. 161 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,600 And then let's just start putting things away where they 162 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,240 go. Anything that does not belong in 163 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,200 the kitchen, let's go ahead and move it to the different rooms 164 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,840 of the house. Start from one end of the 165 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360 kitchen to the next and just start clearing surfaces. 166 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,200 And we want to clear as much stuff off of the surfaces as 167 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,120 humanly possible so we can get a really good wipe down in. 168 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,880 So, and that includes the dining room to just get everything 169 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:40,080 cleared, put away. And if you're still working on 170 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,200 the dishes, just keep doing that. 171 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,880 Whatever you need to do. You could pause, rewind, 172 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,360 whatever, but I'm just going to move on to the other parts of 173 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,000 the kitchen now. So just clear everything off so 174 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,440 we can go wipe down crazy. And also don't forget your trash 175 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,920 can. You might need to take out your 176 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,720 trash and replace the liner. We have a lot of trash in our 177 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,080 house. I need to cut down on the trash, 178 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,280 but I ate out yesterday. So there was a lot of trash 179 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,000 involved this morning like I mentioned earlier. 180 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,320 So definitely take out your trash, replace the liner, and 181 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,880 once you guys are done with your thorough pickup, just go. 182 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,880 Like I said, wipe down crazy, making sure we're getting any 183 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,880 and every surface. Just start from one end of the 184 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,560 kitchen, move your way to the next and just wipe down any 185 00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:23,640 crevice, any handle, refrigerator, stove top, cracks 186 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,920 of the stove, backsplashes, walls, just every single surface 187 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,360 that you can think of in your house. 188 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,680 I want you guys to get done. You guys are doing that. 189 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,080 Another kind of New Year's resolution, I guess you can call 190 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,560 it, that I'm going to start working on is more meal 191 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:41,000 prepping. And I do like a basic kind of 192 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,560 meal prepping. And it's not the kind where, you 193 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:46,600 know, I'm putting things in containers and freezing them and 194 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,920 all that, but planning my meals better for the day so that just 195 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,200 my days are a little bit easier and I don't have to think about 196 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,080 it and I already know what I'm going to make the next day. 197 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,040 So during my closing shifts where I'm cleaning up at the end 198 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,960 of the night, I'm going to make sure I'm going to put some meat 199 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,560 out for the night before and I'm going to plan what I'm going to 200 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,240 make for breakfast for the kids and lunch and dinner. 201 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640 And that way I don't have to just think about it. 202 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,560 And that way I'm not giving the kids like too many options 203 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:18,760 because this morning, like I was giving them 1000 options for 204 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,480 what they want for breakfast. And they're like, I don't want 205 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,240 that. I don't want that. 206 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400 Well, instead I'm just going to make it and then they're just 207 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,760 going to have to eat it. I know what they like and what 208 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,720 they don't like. And if you give a kid too many 209 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,560 options, especially A5 year old, then they're just going to be 210 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:34,000 overwhelmed and not want anything. 211 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,320 That's just how kids are, you know. 212 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200 So I just feel like that would make my life a lot easier if I 213 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800 did that. So that's something I'm going to 214 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,880 be working on. Once you're done with your wipe 215 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,080 down, then you can do a spot sweep. 216 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,880 We'll I'll remind you to do a major floor clean at the end of 217 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,280 the episode. That way we're not working stuff 218 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,360 into the living area when we're doing that. 219 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,560 And again, if I'm going too fast, maybe you have a big 220 00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,840 disaster on your hands. Then you can pause, rewind me or 221 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,840 just listen to another episode after this. 222 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,400 I get we all have different variations of how messy our 223 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,640 houses are. We have really long episodes, 224 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,400 really short episodes for just different phases of life and 225 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,040 different times that we we just need to pick up a little bit or 226 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,960 need to do a complete overhaul of the house. 227 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,720 So whatever you need to do, but I'm going to go ahead and move 228 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,760 on after you do your little spot sweep. 229 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,720 So we're not tracking stuff after the wipe down. 230 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,920 I'm going to go ahead and move on to the living area now and 231 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,560 we're going to start with our couch area. 232 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:38,000 Let's fix our cushions, vacuum our cushions of our couch 233 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,200 underneath the couch. Let's clean underneath that, fix 234 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,440 our pillows. I did do a washing of my liner 235 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,600 of my couch and everything the other day just because it was 236 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,040 starting to get out of hand. But you know, just a little wipe 237 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,880 down in the spot clean is perfect for depending on what 238 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,360 type of couch you have and what you need to do. 239 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,880 But or you can just vacuum it and then put your pillows and 240 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,960 your blankets the way you like it and then start with our 241 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,280 pickup. So with the pickup, just start 242 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,880 with one area side of the living area and move your way to the 243 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,480 next and just pick up any miscellaneous stuff that does 244 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,440 not belong and put it away. Throw away any and all trash and 245 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,480 then start with the floor and work your way up to the surfaces 246 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,120 and then do the same thing with surfaces. 247 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,040 Anything that doesn't explicitly belong in your on your surfaces, 248 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,080 if it's not in decoration, let's go ahead and put that away where 249 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,000 it goes because a lot of people set things in places they 250 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,560 shouldn't. Maybe you have shelves, 251 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,800 shelving, bookcase, something in the living area and it tends to 252 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,560 accumulate stuff like a hotspot or something. 253 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,320 Then anything that doesn't explicitly belong there as a 254 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,360 decoration, let's go ahead and get that and put that away. 255 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,200 Put everything where it goes. And while we're talking about 256 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,320 why you guys are cleaning your outer areas, another thing that 257 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,680 I want to focus on in the new year is keeping my outer areas 258 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,560 as clean as possible because it's the first thing people see 259 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:07,040 when they walk in my door. I want to keep that as pristine 260 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,280 as possible with my children. Obviously it's not going to be 261 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,560 perfect, but I want to try to, if there is any kind of mess in 262 00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:19,200 the living area, just to pick it up immediately and try to keep 263 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,880 that outer areas when you first walk into the house clean and 264 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,400 presentable at all times, at least in some capacity. 265 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,400 So I'm going to work really hard on that and just make that a 266 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,200 little personal goal for the new year. 267 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,000 And then any mirrors or anything that need to be wiped down, you 268 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520 can Windex those and wipe those down really quickly. 269 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,240 Windows from your front window need probably needs to be wiped 270 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,120 down, especially if you got little fingers that always touch 271 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,880 it. I recently my kids had destroyed 272 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,240 my blinds and stuff. I had, you know, those cheap 273 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,520 blinds that go up, you know, you know what I mean? 274 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,920 The little white the white skinny stripe ones that aren't 275 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,000 that get broken really easily. Anyway, I had those and I 276 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,720 noticed that my daughter and her room had a perfect set of lines 277 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,520 and I was like why do they look perfect in their room? 278 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,880 But then the ones in the living room are terrible. 279 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320 So I switched those out and then I just put a curtain in their 280 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:24,320 room and I'm like it wasn't as hard as I even imagined. 281 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,320 It has like a tiny clip and it took me like 5 seconds. 282 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,840 So that made a big big big difference. 283 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,840 It doesn't look like a crack house anymore when you look at 284 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,880 my front door. So anyhoo, that being said, 285 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,480 sorry, I got a little tongue tied there, but I it's just like 286 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,240 little things like that. So I want, I just want my living 287 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,520 area to be more presentable. So I'm going to work on that. 288 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,440 And as we're ending the end of the episode, I just want to 289 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,560 remind you guys, set a timer. Don't forget to do that laundry 290 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,240 switch. I'm going to do my laundry 291 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600 folding and putting away marathon today after I do all of 292 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,320 that stuff that I talked about today. 293 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,520 And I'm going to work really hard to keep my quote 294 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,880 resolutions and or, you know, just goals of mine to keep my 295 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,960 house a little bit cleaner. And do not forget to do your 296 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,240 floor clean, do a thorough sweep and mop of your living room and 297 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:29,160 or vacuum if you have carpeting and same thing with your kitchen 298 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,760 and dining room as well. And don't forget to do that 299 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,440 laundry switch when the timer goes out. 300 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880 And I want to thank you guys so much for listening. 301 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,680 Happy New Year and good luck with all of your resolutions and 302 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,680 I hope you accomplish everything that you want to accomplish this 303 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,520 year. Happy New Year.
