I want you guys to get ready and 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,840 capacity for your. Clean. 16 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,560 So light a.

Going to do a load of laundry. 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,560 I'm going to mention a load. Of laundry. 20 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,000 We're going to do a laundry. Switch, but if you have people 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520 coming over today or you have a. Lot going on and you want to 22 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:02,840 skip. The. 23 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,600 Laundry for today, that's fine. That's not really a top 24 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,160 priority. When I have people coming over 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,240 like the day of or the day before. 26 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160 I try to get that done kind of the week before, but I don't. 27 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,560 Have anything? Going on today so I'm going to 28 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,000 to do a load of laundry. So move your. 29 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Clothes from the washer to the dryer and from a dryer to a 30 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,720 laundry basket. And I'll remind you about that 31 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,280 at the. End of the. 32 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,800 Episode Hopefully I will remember. 33 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,360 I'm very scatterbrained I. Always forget that part to 34 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,080 remind you. But. 35 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,720 We're gonna go. Ahead and do a deep clean of the 36 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,800 kitchen because. We might have people coming in 37 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,120 our. Kitchen, our refrigerator, stuff 38 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,960 like that, helping out with cooking, spice cabinets, what 39 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,800 have you. And even if you. 40 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Don't and you're going to family members house. 41 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,040 Thanksgiving is a. Really good. 42 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,360 Excuse to. Get that kitchen. 43 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Clean. So let's get right. 44 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,800 Into it once you're done with your laundry. 45 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,360 Switch and I. Am going to have you guys doing 46 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,640 the dishes but if you want to focus on the bonus chores that 47 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,160 I'm saying I'm just going to throw. 48 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,920 Everything out there. That I can think of as. 49 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,919 Far as my. Personal kind of checklist. 50 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,320 For birthday parties or Thanksgiving or holidays and 51 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,920 then as far as it as. Far as the. 52 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,720 Kitchen goes and then you guys can either be working on the 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,320 dishes while I talk and then tackle all that stuff after or 54 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,040 you can just do whatever you need to do most in your kitchen 55 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,200 so. Make sure you're doing a really 56 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,440 thorough pre rinse. I try to 100% of the time make 57 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,120 it. A rule that no matter what I am 58 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,400 feeling, no matter if I'm going to be good and clean the. 59 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,360 Dishes right? After I cook or whatever that I 60 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,640 will at least rinse it off and let it. 61 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:51,520 Soak as. Soon as I use the the pan, 62 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,920 utensils, whatever, and I've been pretty good about that 63 00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,200 lately. And when I. 64 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,560 Say that. I make it a rule. 65 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760 Or 100%. Of the time that is an. 66 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,200 Exaggeration. Obviously I. 67 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,360 Stumble. I mess up. 68 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,920 Everybody does sometimes. But it's a. 69 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,800 Goal and I keep it in my. Head that it's non negotiable so 70 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,080 that I will do it more often. I often try to trick. 71 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,360 My own brain. Like OK, no. 72 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Matter what, you have to do this even if you don't. 73 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120 Do the dishes. You have to do this. 74 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,840 And I do try to make it a rule that I do. 75 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,840 The dishes after each meal. But that one I'm not as. 76 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,920 Good about usually. I'll kind of let my food settle 77 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,480 and be like wow for a little. Bit and sometimes I let them sit 78 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,880 till the next day and I try really hard not to, but that's 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,600 just. How it is? 80 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,720 Sometimes and it's. Important not to. 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Beat yourself up, but just to evaluate and see what you can do 82 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,960 better and when you are doing better. 83 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400 What are the? Factors that encouraged. 84 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,320 The good habits. OK, so just be working on those 85 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,240 dishes while I'm talking. And I'm going to throw a lot of. 86 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,080 Bonus. Chores at you, stuff that I try 87 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,280 to do when I'm going to have other people in the kitchen or 88 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,040 get together. We are going other places. 89 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,960 But like I said. I'm going to pretend like I. 90 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,200 Have someone coming to my house and use it as a really good 91 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,320 excuse to clean my kitchen So while. 92 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,840 You guys are doing the dishes. First thing I want to throw out 93 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,240 there. Is the refrigerator so. 94 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,360 Usually, no matter what, people. Are going to be up in your 95 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,240 refrigerator whether they're they are getting a. 96 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,400 Drink or putting leftovers away or. 97 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,440 Helping you out or putting? Something in there? 98 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,520 Deviled eggs or what have you. So the. 99 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,600 Refrigerator is an important thing to have. 100 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,480 Clean no matter the holiday, especially for Thanksgiving. 101 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,040 So let's use today as a good excuse to clean. 102 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,920 That refrigerator so I. Want everything thrown? 103 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,920 Out that is. Going to be. 104 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,080 Expired or getting. Close to. 105 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,440 It that is no good anymore and then I will take everything out, 106 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,080 organize it, give it a good wipe down, take out drawers, clean 107 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,200 them in the sink and just really, really deep clean that 108 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240 refrigerator inside and out, including the freezer because 109 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,080 people might be getting ice or whatever. 110 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,520 And like I said, even if you don't have someone coming over, 111 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,800 just pretend like you are. As that extra kick in the pants 112 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,640 to get this kitchen really clean. 113 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,080 And the refrigerator might be a bigger. 114 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,960 Task. For some people rather than. 115 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,320 Others I struggle more with the refrigerator. 116 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,080 I do make it a rule. Like I always say to do. 117 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,560 It whenever I'm getting. Clean the refrigerator whenever 118 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,120 I'm getting groceries and stuff. So it's been. 119 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,120 Better lately. But it is something that I have 120 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,120 to make the conscious decision to deep clean semi regularly. 121 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,400 So that's one number two. Is going to be your cabinets 122 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,560 such? As your like pantry, food 123 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,480 pantry. Do things. 124 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,160 Need to get. Thrown out, do you? 125 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,200 Need to reorganize, wipe down it's. 126 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,720 Good to give. It a good wipe. 127 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,760 Down every so often and I'm going to throw a. 128 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Lot of information at you guys, I am not expecting you to. 129 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,200 Finish this stuff in the. Time that I'm. 130 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,040 Saying it just be working on your. 131 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,280 Dishes or whatever. Bonus chore you. 132 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Need. The most and just start. 133 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,760 Slowly getting it all done. I mentioned before my spice 134 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,400 cabinets are something that I struggle with and it's always 135 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,640 the chili. Powder for some reason, and it 136 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,200 made. Sense. 137 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,880 When I would. Buy like the. 138 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,360 Ones that you RIP. Open the bag and then I'd put 139 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,760 them in a little plastic bag and then they'd spill somehow, like 140 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,360 I understood. That but now I have chili powder 141 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,280 that's in a shaker and. It's still spilled somehow. 142 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,080 It's the chili powder is cursed or something in my house I don't 143 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,600 know. But anyway, so my spice cabinet, 144 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,800 I also had it a. Lot more organized. 145 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400 A few months. Ago and it's kind of just blah 146 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,920 everywhere and I have to hunt for stuff. 147 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,720 So that's something that I need to completely just take 148 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,320 everything out, give it a good wipe down and reorganize. 149 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,480 It's good if you have some kind of. 150 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,160 Container to put them. In some little plastic things 151 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,040 or. Lazy Susan or something? 152 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,240 Like that just to keep them all organized and easy to find. 153 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,680 Because when things become hard to find and you're digging 154 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,920 through stuff, it tends to make. Things, more messy, things get 155 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,600 spilled, stuff like that. So the more you have a system, 156 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,720 the easier it is for you to keep up with it. 157 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,600 So #3 is trash cans so. A lot of times when we have. 158 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,040 Company and stuff. Trash gets taken out. 159 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,520 By a cousin or a brother or something like that. 160 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,240 So if your trash can has not. Been deep cleaned in a while and 161 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,720 it needs a good power washing. It needs a good hose down in the 162 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,280 yard. Things leak and trash goes. 163 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560 In your trash can so it gets dirty really quickly. 164 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000 And we don't want a big stinky. Gross mess at the bottom of your 165 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,160 trash can if someone helps you out and. 166 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Like I said. Even if you don't have any of 167 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,600 this going on, it's a good excuse to do it. 168 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,280 So definitely cleaning the trash can, cleaning around the. 169 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,000 Trash can, The floor around the trash can, the walls around the 170 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,080 trash can, wherever it goes. That's a good place that could. 171 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,960 Be deep cleaned. As well. 172 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000 And you could be doing the dishes while I talk, like I 173 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,960 said. Or anything else in the kitchen. 174 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,840 Another thing. I would like to mention is the 175 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,800 oven. A lot of ovens have self. 176 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,080 Cleaning modes so if you want to spray something in there, do the 177 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,040 self cleaning mode be mindful of what you're using in your oven 178 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,840 and I've. Said the. 179 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,480 Story a couple times so. If you're avid. 180 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000 Listener, I'm sure you've heard it, but my parents at once in 181 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,520 time when we lived in New Mexico, they were. 182 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,880 Rushing to clean the house before a guest came over and my 183 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,480 mom threw some wet. Pans. 184 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120 Nonstick pans in the oven. Kind of to hide them. 185 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200 And my dad. Was also rushing around in the 186 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,440 other room. Came in the kitchen and then 187 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,240 when she wasn't. Looking he pressed the self 188 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,320 clean. Mode on the oven which the. 189 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,960 Nonstick pans then. Caught on fire because he didn't 190 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360 know they were. In there and then he tried to. 191 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Open the oven. Ripped off the handle and there 192 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,440 was a big fire inside the oven. We had. 193 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,480 We had to have the fire department come and throw the 194 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,040 oven on the front lawn and put out the fire. 195 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,080 It was the. Whole thing. 196 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,240 So safety tip. From Jessica is don't do that. 197 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240 Make sure there's nothing in your oven when you self. 198 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Clean and if you are hand cleaning your oven, just let 199 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,480 your. Cleaner, whatever it is a paste. 200 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,680 Degreaser spray. Whatever you're using, make sure 201 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,200 it's doing its job and you're letting it. 202 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Sit a good minute. That way it'll be less difficult 203 00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,280 to actually get it clean and. In the Spirit. 204 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,840 Of oven cleaning we don't want to forget about our. 205 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,200 Burners now some. Of us have the electric stove 206 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,520 that's like a glass top and that one's a lot easier to clean but 207 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400 if you're like me and you have an electric or a gas stove that 208 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,280 has the little cages on it I. Have an electric. 209 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,240 One but. It's an old stove. 210 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,320 So it has those cages. And hopefully I'm calling them 211 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,000 the right thing, but. Things can get underneath. 212 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,400 There it could build up grease burnt stuff really easily. 213 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,040 A lot of. People, sometimes I've seen 214 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,040 they. Put tinfoil around it that way. 215 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,960 They can just change out the tinfoil often and it's not as. 216 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,000 Difficult to clean. Some people. 217 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,400 Don't like the way that looks. I don't. 218 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,560 Personally do that. But I do have to clean it pretty 219 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,360 regularly because they get. Really built up and hard to 220 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,760 clean fast. You can let. 221 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,160 Them soak. You can take it apart, let it 222 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160 soak, or you can just spray it. With again the same thing you 223 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,000 use to. Clean your oven. 224 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,040 Let it. Sit there for a good minute and 225 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,920 then come back. To it and. 226 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,320 Clean it. Another fire safety tip. 227 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,440 If you have an oven like that, it's good to clean it. 228 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,720 Pretty pretty regularly because I made. 229 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,720 Homemade French fries the other day and a fairly large French 230 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,640 fry fell in one of the burners. I admittedly did not clean off 231 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,760 the burner when I cleaned. The kitchen and. 232 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,520 Then I went to go cook and the little fry set on fire. 233 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,120 Wasn't a big. Obviously it wasn't like crazy 234 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,600 fire anything, it was just a big French fry on fire. 235 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,200 In the oven. But the kids are always like 236 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,040 right next to me when I'm cooking and they were freaking 237 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,920 out, like. Mom set a. 238 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Fire but. That can make. 239 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,600 Your house stink. Like burnt food on a food 240 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,880 oriented holiday. So we don't want that. 241 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,040 We don't want burnt smell. We don't want people thinking. 242 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,400 We burn the. Food burn the Turkey right so 243 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:25,600 that's something that we. Can clean and it. 244 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,880 Even though it's not. Super super noticeable all the 245 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,720 time. It's. 246 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Still a good thing to do because we don't want burnt, smelly, 247 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,440 gross stuff and getting it. Harder to. 248 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,400 Clean by getting more and more baked on. 249 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,960 It reminds me we've been watching like. 250 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,680 Christmas movies lately. And the other day we were 251 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:46,360 watching that movie, Santa Claus and the Original. 252 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,640 One and where he's in, I can't remember Denny's or something 253 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,360 and. He's in a section with all the 254 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,160 other single dads. And then he's like, burn the 255 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240 Turkey, huh? Some of you might know what I'm 256 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,720 talking about, but that's my favorite part of the movie. 257 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,960 And then the guy has like a burnt hand with who, what's his 258 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,680 name? Tim Allen. 259 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,080 Anywho, while you've. Got that degreaser out? 260 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,440 Don't forget to do your. Backsplashes behind the stove, 261 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,560 all around the. Stove. 262 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,560 Grease can accumulate, especially if. 263 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,080 You're a big cooker, so just. Or cook, not cooker. 264 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,280 So just get that all. Nice and degrease. 265 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,760 Let it sit for a minute and then wipe it down thoroughly. 266 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,440 I mentioned the. Pantry and like the. 267 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Spice cabinet, but also. Do not forget like the places. 268 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,480 Where your utensils go, your plates, things of that nature 269 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480 for. Me my utensil drawer where I 270 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,280 keep. Like the big serving spoons and 271 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,040 stuff is out of hand right now. It's pretty disorganized. 272 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,360 And just stuff is just kind of. Shoved in there and it looks 273 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,320 kind of messy. So that's something that I would 274 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,520 need to take everything out, give it a good wipe down. 275 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,560 And it's just good to wipe. Those drawers. 276 00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,040 Down every once in a while we're putting clean. 277 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400 Utensils in there and they still can accumulate. 278 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240 Dust and stuff. Dust particles and whatever, so 279 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,240 it's so good to wipe. Down every once in a while and 280 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,120 why not use this? As a good excuse to do it. 281 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,480 If you are done doing your dish is awesome, you can move on to 282 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,760 one of the bonus chores if you have not already, or you can do 283 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,480 a thorough. Wipe down and. 284 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,520 Throw everything away. Put everything away and then 285 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,680 thoroughly wipe down and we're going. 286 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,840 To go extra wipe down crazy. Because we're deep cleaning, so 287 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,720 make sure you're getting every nook and cranny, every surface. 288 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,720 Start from 1:00 side to. The other side of the kitchen, 289 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,480 don't forget. Your microwave. 290 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,480 The little. Dish in your microwave and just 291 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,320 work your way all the way to the dining room. 292 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,680 And while you are doing that, another one that is specific to 293 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,800 my house. But I'm sure a lot of you might 294 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240 relate to this. Another hotspot. 295 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760 If you will, is on top. Of the refrigerator so I. 296 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,000 Have small. Kids and the. 297 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Top of the refrigerator or is where a lot. 298 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,320 Of things go to die because I'm putting stuff up there to hide 299 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,200 it from them. And then a lot of the times when 300 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,000 I actually go up there and go through stuff, half that stuff I 301 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,640 don't even want nor need anymore. 302 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,440 And they've been up there for months, so don't be. 303 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,960 Be afraid. To throw stuff away when you're 304 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,560 decluttering and stuff. But a lot of times you can see. 305 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,040 That from the dining room. And again this. 306 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,720 Is a. Good of, good as excuse of. 307 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,320 I'm getting tongue. Tied as good of an excuse as any 308 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,040 to. Tackle that today. 309 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,320 So just go through it. Put stuff. 310 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,840 Away that needs to be put away. Throw stuff away that needs to 311 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,200 be thrown away. And make your kitchen more 312 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,760 aesthetically pleasing by cleaning on top of the 313 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,360 refrigerator. Also if you have like. 314 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Cabinets with a shelf on top. Where you can. 315 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,280 Put Knick knacks and such and things are accumulated up there. 316 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,120 That's a good spot. You can wipe down clear and wipe 317 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,280 down as. Well, so things. 318 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,000 Like that just. Look around in your house and 319 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,400 see if there's anything that. Maybe you don't always notice. 320 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Because it's just there all the time and look through the eye of 321 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,360 a guest and get rid of that clutter. 322 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,200 It could. Be a bookshelf. 323 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,400 Just shelving. Around your dining. 324 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,400 Room or kitchen, anything. Let's just try to clear that 325 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,560 off. Wipe it down. 326 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,040 Underneath your sink. Where your. 327 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,960 Cleaning supplies and such can go. 328 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,560 Those things can get disorganized really quickly, so. 329 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600 That's something that we can tackle as well. 330 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,800 And like I said earlier, you may not be having guests to your 331 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,120 house, but we're going to be tired. 332 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,280 We're going to be exhausted even if we're not doing anything. 333 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,000 The kids. Are out of school so whatever 334 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,760 you've got going on in your life, in your house during this 335 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,440 holiday season, you're probably going to be burnout tomorrow 336 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,920 whatever you decide to do and you're going to want to relax so 337 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,400 let's get all that nasty credit out of the way today and then. 338 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,760 You can just. Relax, sit back and I. 339 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,080 Just keep cleaning. While I'm talking, you can 340 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,400 either be wiping down, doing the dishes, or doing one of the 341 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,560 bonus chores in the kitchen. I've been struggling with 342 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,680 beating myself. Up about the house and stuff and 343 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,680 it's not. Uncommon. 344 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,520 I'm sure a lot. Of you do it as well, which is 345 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,920 why I talked to you guys. I have trouble staying focused 346 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,400 and I try to tell you everything that I go through and stuff so 347 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,240 that you guys can relate and you can realize that I am not. 348 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,480 The best cleaner in the world? Not even close. 349 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,200 Not even close at. All I'm struggling. 350 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,160 To. Find my rhythm and find things 351 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,240 that work in ever changing seasons of life. 352 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,880 Sometimes things work for me. And then things change in my 353 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,840 life and then they no longer work for me anymore. 354 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,000 So. You have to constantly evolve. 355 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,560 And try not. To be too. 356 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,440 Hard on yourself, but also evaluate your situation. 357 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,120 So that way it's ever changing and stuff. 358 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,360 And part of that is realizing that you're not going to want to 359 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,000 clean. Tomorrow. 360 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,240 Probably. So let's get it. 361 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,840 All knocked out today. And you'll feel so much better 362 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,000 tomorrow and you can just relax and turn your brain off. 363 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,560 For a little bit. Because as much as we don't want 364 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,119 to admit that. We are hard on ourself or have 365 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,520 anxiety about our surrounding our house. 366 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,119 We want our guests to be. Comfortable when it. 367 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,040 Comes to people eating in our. Home we. 368 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,760 Want them to feel? Comfortable eating in our house 369 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,640 by our refrigerator being cleaned by. 370 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,800 All these places. Being nice and cleaned and wiped 371 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,119 down. Because they're going to be 372 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,760 reassured that. It's being cleaned in AI mean 373 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,160 made in A.
