1 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,240 Hi everyone. I'm Ronnie and I'm Jessica. 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,360 And you're listening. To clean with me. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,000 The podcast where we walk you through cleaning your house. 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,360 Thanks for joining me. In today's episode, I'm going to 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,000 discuss. The topic of getting ready for 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,880 the holidays and I'm also going to talk you. 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,320 Through washing your dishes. And cleaning your kitchen. 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,040 So let's get right into the episode. 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,600 It's time to gather up any. Dishes that you. 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,880 Have around the house. Maybe you have a? 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,120 Glass on a night stand or a forgotten plate on the dining 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,280 room. Table or other cups or dishes. 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,480 Elsewhere in the house, it's time to gather. 14 00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:50,440 Those. Up. 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,200 Maybe you have? A dirty. 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,120 Pot or pan or both and you need to get those soaking right away. 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,600 Basically just gear up for your. Dishwashing session, whatever 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,720 that. Means for you. 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,800 And of course, as always. If you're ahead of the game. 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,720 And you've been keeping up. On dishes, kind of. 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,000 Cleaning as you go. Which is always the goal. 22 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,240 You can just work on cleaning surfaces in your kitchen. 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,680 Or even. Organizing a cupboard pantry. 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,880 Or drawer or. Sweeping and mopping the floor, 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,320 washing windows, there are all sorts of things you can do in 26 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,640 the kitchen. But for a lot of you, I'm sure 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,000 you have some. Dishes to do. 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,400 And that might be why you clicked on. 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,840 This episode so just. Be working in your kitchen. 30 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,560 Starting with. The dishes while I. 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:50,120 Talk about kind of what we do for the holidays and some things 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200 that help. Me avoid stress. 33 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,040 During this busy season because. The whole point of holidays. 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,640 Is to enjoy yourself, not to get. 35 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Stressed out about it so you. Do need to be organized and? 36 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,760 That's that's what I'm going to talk. 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,840 About today. I remember when my grandmother 38 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,040 on my mom's. Side passed away. 39 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:15,440 One of the things we were kind of going through some of her 40 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,760 stuff and something that interested me was an old 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,920 notebook. That she had and. 42 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,800 It was where she was. Planning on. 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,840 What to do? During the. 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,240 Holidays like what to? Buy and you know. 45 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,920 Her her Christmas lists. And things like that, you know, 46 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,840 ideas for entertaining and. It was interesting. 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,160 How she was writing. Everything down in this notebook 48 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,120 and we can all learn a lot from that. 49 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,640 You definitely need to be systematic. 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,360 I mean some people. Have simpler holidays than 51 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,920 others. But for a lot of us, we have a 52 00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:59,200 lot of. Shopping to do and maybe even 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,240 hosting some events at our homes so that can involve cooking, 54 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,400 cleaning, purchasing. Supplies. 55 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,200 All sorts of things. And then there's. 56 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,440 Also travel. You may be preparing to travel, 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,520 so I'm going to talk. About all of that, maybe you 58 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,160 have. A drying rack. 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,320 To empty, maybe you need to get a pot or a pan soaking. 60 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,320 Maybe you need to empty? Your dishwasher. 61 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Or maybe you're already. Plugging away on dishes just be 62 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,920 working on. Dishes, whatever. 63 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,080 That means for you. Or at least be. 64 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,800 Working in your kitchen? While I talk. 65 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,520 Even though this is kind of a topical episode, I want. 66 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,680 To keep you in the kitchen and keep you motivated. 67 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,760 So first, let's talk about. Thanksgiving, my husband and I 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,840 are. From a different state. 69 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,960 So his dad and. Siblings are there. 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:04,000 My mom and dad and one of my siblings is there and so we're 71 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,600 kind of. Off in the state. 72 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,920 By ourselves, so to speak. Our middle. 73 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920 Daughter who's an adult does. Live in our town? 74 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640 So. What we normally do for 75 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,560 Thanksgiving. Is we host it, it's usually. 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Just my husband. And I and our four youngest 77 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,800 children. The three. 78 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,880 That live. Here and then our adult who 79 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,760 lives in the same town and last. Year she brought her. 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,080 Son. This year she has two kids, but 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,720 this? Year we are going. 82 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,880 To be going out of town for Thanksgiving, which is something 83 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240 we haven't done in. Years, but we are going. 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,880 I mean, we've gone back to our hometown. 85 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Fairly recently, but we haven't. Done Thanksgiving there in 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,200 years. So. 87 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,240 This year instead of. Preparing for cooking a meal 88 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400 here we're preparing to travel, but you may be. 89 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,840 Getting ready to host. So I wanted. 90 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,800 To talk a little bit. About things we do. 91 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,160 For that. When we prepare for 92 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,280 Thanksgiving, it's not a ton of preparation. 93 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,680 But that's usually. A time that I kind of take 94 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,280 inventory and think about whether or not. 95 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,440 I have enough glasses. And whatnot. 96 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,440 If I don't do it at Thanksgiving, I do it at. 97 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,560 Christmas, because we usually. Have company from out of town. 98 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,760 Especially Jessica and her. Family. 99 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,240 Usually come for Christmas. And sometimes my mom and her 100 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,400 husband also come so. We do start to think about 101 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,280 these. Things at Thanksgiving as. 102 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,680 Far as like do. We have enough drinking glasses. 103 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,480 Is there anything that we need to kind of restock in our 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,760 kitchen as far as. Candles. 105 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,120 Serving dishes, Glasses. Things like that we tend to 106 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,360 break. Glasses throughout the year and. 107 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440 Then get new ones. During the holidays, and I've 108 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,840 talked about this in other episodes, a lot of times during 109 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,640 the. Year we are just, we buy. 110 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,000 These jam jars that. Come in a kind of a Mason. 111 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,280 Jar style glass with. Mug with a handle on it. 112 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,040 And so when we run out of the jam. 113 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,000 We wash that. Out and use it as a. 114 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,680 Glass They're really cute glasses. 115 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,640 It's a. Brand called Blackburns. 116 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960 It's not available everywhere, but if you live somewhere that 117 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,040 has Blackburns. Jam it does. 118 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,680 Come in a really cute little jar glass thingy. 119 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,120 So that's a thing. Throughout the year. 120 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,160 But then for the. Holidays we like to get. 121 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,760 Glasses. That are more classy. 122 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,920 Or festive, if you will. So that's. 123 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,600 Something to think. About, it's also a. 124 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,800 Time that we think about deep cleaning. 125 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:52,920 Our house. In preparation for guests. 126 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,040 Obviously our middle daughter comes over. 127 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,960 All the time, but when we're getting ready to have out of 128 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,280 town guests. Which for us is Christmas. 129 00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:01,560 It could be Thanksgiving. For you. 130 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,280 That's when we start focusing more on. 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,960 Maybe small household? Repairs, cleaning baseboards and 132 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,480 blinds. If we haven't done that in a 133 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,840 while, I've been better. About that lately, obviously 134 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:15,840 the. Goal is to. 135 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,320 Do these deep cleaning. Tasks throughout the year, but 136 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,800 there's. Something about having company, 137 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120 especially overnight. Guests where you start to see 138 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,280 your house. Through someone else's eyes and 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,960 you notice. Little problems whether it's. 140 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:36,120 You know, a broken door handle somewhere, or a forgotten 141 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,320 baseboard that hasn't been dusted in a while, or a dusty 142 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,280 laundry room or something like that. 143 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,160 Whatever. We all have different areas 144 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,480 that. We kind of let. 145 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Slide in our homes. And so that's something to think 146 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,280 about. So hopefully by now you're in 147 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,600 the throes. Of washing your dishes just. 148 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Keep plugging away on those. I will. 149 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,520 Say that lately it's been a little bit of a struggle. 150 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,600 Because I was I was perfectly happy with washing by. 151 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,280 Hand and. Because my dishwasher doesn't. 152 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,600 Seem to be working right. I was perfectly happy. 153 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,520 With. Hand washing. 154 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,280 And I'd gotten kind of into a rhythm of doing that and keeping 155 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,600 up on it because hand. Washing forces you to keep. 156 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,360 Up, I think, a little more than you know. 157 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,040 Dishwasher washing, but. Then all the sudden life threw 158 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,400 me a curveball and my kitchen sink is not getting much 159 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,280 pressure. My husband already took. 160 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,200 Apart the faucet, but he's. Going to take apart more stuff 161 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,440 underneath. To see if there's a clog. 162 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,640 Somewhere but. Combining hand washing with. 163 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,440 Very low pressure. Is kind of nerve racking because 164 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,000 I'm not a super patient person and. 165 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,680 So less water pressure means it takes longer to to fill the 166 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:02,720 sink. And to rinse. 167 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,280 The dishes so it's been a little tedious so if. 168 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,280 If you're. Unhappy with the fact? 169 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,760 That you've got a hand. Wash your dishes just. 170 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920 Be thankful. That you. 171 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120 Probably have more water pressure. 172 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,320 Than I do right now be plugging away at those dishes and then 173 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,080 when you. Do finish your dishes. 174 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,520 Start cleaning from the tops, top down. 175 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,800 Wipe down those upper cabinets and upper appliances like you 176 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,840 know, your microwave. If it's above the stove or your 177 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,800 stove hood. Your cabinets on days that 178 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,440 you're washing things. That are up higher. 179 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,120 Of course you want to. Start up there. 180 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,000 And then clean the countertops you always want to clean. 181 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,560 From top to bottom. But a lot of you are. 182 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,840 Still plugging away. On dishes, maybe you had to 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,920 empty reload. And run the dishwasher. 184 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,520 And now you're hand washing some stuff or you're hand washing 185 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,200 several sink loads. I definitely bought some paper. 186 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,280 Bowls, I had decided. That I only needed. 187 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,760 Disposable plates. But in light of the low. 188 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,640 Water pressure I also. Got some? 189 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,200 Disposable bowls to. Lighten the load of. 190 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,040 Washing dishes, so I'm not trying to be negative. 191 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,240 About washing dishes. But the IT the. 192 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,120 Water pressure. I'm going. 193 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,640 To be so grateful. When we get that sink fixed, I 194 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,680 think he's going to work on it tonight. 195 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,400 So he'll definitely. Get a reminder. 196 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,160 Let's put it. That way. 197 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,800 When I'm done recording. So this year. 198 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:44,880 We were invited to. California for Thanksgiving and 199 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,400 so things we're doing. To prepare are just. 200 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,720 Simple things like talking about what we're going to bring, we're 201 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,160 still kind of in the. Planning stages as far. 202 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,280 As. What we're going to eat on the 203 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,560 way there and stuff like that. Though. 204 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,640 There will be a final shopping trip. 205 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,560 But I've started. Making a list I'm. 206 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,840 Really big on having. Some type of app? 207 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,240 In your phone where you kind of, you know, kind of a notepad. 208 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,920 App. Or something like that where you 209 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:23,040 make lists. I do have a pack list that talks 210 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,680 about what I usually pack. As far as clothing? 211 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,360 And toiletries and things like that. 212 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,680 It just helps relax. Me when I can kind of go. 213 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,120 Through that list after. Packing to make sure. 214 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000 I. Brought all the usual stuff. 215 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,080 We had a travel. Trailer, but now we just have a 216 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,600 camper on the back. Of our truck and. 217 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,480 So. I am planning to bring like 218 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,040 sandwich stuff and snacks. For the trip there. 219 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,680 Since we do have a small refrigerator and cabinets for 220 00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:59,200 that kind of stuff. And then of course, I'll be 221 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400 consulting with my. Pack list. 222 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,080 When I'm planning my outfits and whatnot. 223 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,600 So we're kind of still in the just. 224 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440 In the planning stages where I'm starting to add things to my. 225 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,520 List I definitely. Recommend that if you're going 226 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240 to be. Traveling to have some type of 227 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,640 a. List of. 228 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,960 Things you need to bring and then also. 229 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920 Things. You need to do just before 230 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,520 leaving because if you're like me, you might get stressed when 231 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,240 you're getting ready to. Leave the house like. 232 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,800 OK, you know, did I? I don't know. 233 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,920 Have Did I lock all the doors? Did I water the plants? 234 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,200 Did I? Give the caged animals a couple 235 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,920 different. Water sources and extra food, 236 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,880 things like that. We have my middle daughter here 237 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,680 in town. To. 238 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,920 Take care of things. But there might be. 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,920 Things that. You have to do as far as. 240 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,800 Making arrangements and things like that. 241 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,640 So it's good. To have a checklist. 242 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,720 You know, things to, things to make. 243 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,600 Sure you pack. And things to do before leaving 244 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,920 the house. Maybe you're making arrangements 245 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,720 with giving someone a key, you know, staying at your house. 246 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,200 To take. Care of the animals and. 247 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,360 Stuff like that. So. 248 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,120 Definitely that helps relax me. And it also. 249 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,120 Encourages me to start packing in advance when you get a few. 250 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,560 Days. Out from a trip? 251 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,560 You can start. Packing your favorite outfits. 252 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,320 And whatnot, OK. And you're not going to miss 253 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,040 them. You know, just for a few days. 254 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,080 Another thing is your shopping list I. 255 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,520 Have a separate app for that I. Used to just. 256 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,720 Do the notepad app. But I have a. 257 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,120 Grocery shopping app, which is kind of convenient. 258 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Because it's easier to check. Things off the. 259 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,960 List with just a. Click and I add other things to 260 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,080 that. List. 261 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,320 That are not food. Like just basically. 262 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,080 Stuff I would pick. Up at Walmart, like if I needed 263 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,840 new drinking glasses to entertain guests or something. 264 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Or a new ladle. Or something that would. 265 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,640 Go. On that. 266 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,720 List. And then kind of my to. 267 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,640 Do's would go. In one of the notepad. 268 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880 App lists it would. My to do. 269 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,760 List as far as. Things to to clean around the 270 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,640 house. Would be a separate. 271 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,760 List from the pack list, but I kind of keep these same lists 272 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,960 and just edit them because. Let's face it, we're. 273 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,000 Doing a lot of the same things when we're expecting company or 274 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,600 packing for a trip. Another list that I make. 275 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,160 This time of year. Is my Christmas shopping list 276 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,800 and my kids don't know. About this or whatever but. 277 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,760 When I start getting ideas. About gifts for them. 278 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,440 I put it in a note in my phone and. 279 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,200 My phone's. Password protected. 280 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,000 So they can't. Access that. 281 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,040 Even if they wanted. To and. 282 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Yeah, your spouse probably has access to your. 283 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,840 Phone or knows? Your password we. 284 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:14,040 Definitely do that, but. I don't put, I'm not going to 285 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,880 put what I'm getting. My husband. 286 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,280 On there and I know in the past. I said that we. 287 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,800 Don't exchange gifts, but we are planning to do it. 288 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,120 This year with each other as well. 289 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,040 Yeah, as far as surprise gifts. And stuff. 290 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,400 Definitely having. That on your phone keeps someone 291 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,640 from seeing the. List and you can. 292 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,760 Start, you know. Adding to that that. 293 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,960 List. That's a fresh list every year, 294 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,720 typically. But other things like. 295 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,840 Pack. Lists and cleaning lists. 296 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,880 You can just kind of keep adding to and editing those same lists, 297 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000 so I definitely recommend utilizing the Notepad app in 298 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,680 your phone. OK, by now you might have. 299 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,400 Your dishes done the. Majority of you probably. 300 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,160 Do no judgement. Here if you're facing a dish 301 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,800 master right? Now maybe you have a handicap in 302 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,080 the kitchen right now like your. Dishwasher is not working. 303 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,160 Or your water pressure's low. Or. 304 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,440 Something like that. That one's probably just. 305 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,600 Me but. Something could be. 306 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,560 Slowing you down right now and you might have a lot. 307 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Of dishes to do or maybe. You've just been busy or you've 308 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,800 been sick. Life happens sometimes. 309 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,760 We have tons of dishes. But. 310 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,120 For the rest. Of you, it's time to move on to 311 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,280 cleaning the surfaces. Of your kitchen if you're. 312 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,120 Overwhelmed with dishes? At least just give your. 313 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:47,200 Countertops and stove top. A swipe, but for a lot of you. 314 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,760 It's time to just clean. The surfaces of your. 315 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,120 Kitchen from the top down. Your cabinets, your large 316 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,720 appliances, your small appliances, your lower cabinets. 317 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,480 After you get the. Countertops wiped down, and then 318 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,960 of course you're going to want to sweep. 319 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,920 Your floor. You might want to wipe down. 320 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,960 Walls switch plates maybe? You have a pantry. 321 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Floor that's cluttered. That you need to. 322 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,960 Clear. Maybe you need to? 323 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,280 Scrub a baseboard or two. Because you want to. 324 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,160 Get a jump start on deep cleaning especially. 325 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,600 If you're going to. Have guests for. 326 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,120 Any holiday. This time of year. 327 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,000 You know, maybe you're not having, maybe you're like us and 328 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,320 you're going somewhere else for. Thanksgiving, but you're having. 329 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,840 Someone. Else you're having people over 330 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,040 for another holiday. Get together later on in the 331 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,840 season, so just a reminder there. 332 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,880 Don't say of. All of your deep. 333 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,840 Cleaning. Till the end especially. 334 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,440 OK, if you're. Going to be cooking and serving 335 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,280 food you never want. To deep. 336 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,120 Clean your entire. House at the same. 337 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,720 Time when you're cooking. I mean if you do. 338 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,880 That you definitely need to. Have the whole crew. 339 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,960 Working. If you've got teenagers and a 340 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,920 husband helping you, that might. Work like hey keep. 341 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,600 An eye on this. Well. 342 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,280 I go clean something in the back. 343 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,600 Or whatever but. In most. 344 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,880 Cases it's best to. Do your deep cleaning. 345 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:26,800 Up to. A week in advance, and maybe 346 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,760 even start two weeks in advance chipping away at things. 347 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080 That way you just give your house. 348 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,880 A quick once over on the day. That. 349 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,080 Your company is coming. You see what I'm saying? 350 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,880 For example, things like if you're having overnight. 351 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,400 Guests and this episode's about the. 352 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,880 Kitchen, but I'm just. Kind of putting some ideas. 353 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,280 In your head. To prepare you if you're. 354 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,640 Going to have. Overnight guests at any point? 355 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,440 We're not even sure. Exactly what we're doing. 356 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,680 At Christmas. Just yet, but scrubbing. 357 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,360 Bathtubs and showers can. Be done like. 358 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,840 Up to two. Weeks in advance typically and 359 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,160 there are other things that you'll you'll need to do like 360 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,240 you know the day. Before or whatever but. 361 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,040 Those. Deeper cleaning tasks like. 362 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,720 Scrubbing baseboards. Bathtub showers. 363 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,080 Can be done further in advance, You know, cleaning out a back 364 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,920 bedroom that's been cluttered and turned into a storage. 365 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,280 Area or whatever. You know you're going to want to 366 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,720 think. About adding things like. 367 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,920 That to your To Do List. Now the key to staying sane. 368 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,120 Through the holidays is to do a little bit. 369 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,720 Each day and not procrastinate and I will say that I am guilty 370 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,720 of. Procrastinating on Christmas 371 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,240 shopping? Most of the time, but I'm 372 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,800 planning to get started soon. I I'm. 373 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:58,440 Recording this episode early. In November and I'm planning to 374 00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,920 get started soon. Some of you are. 375 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:02,360 Probably saying. I get all my Christmas shopping 376 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,320 done in August. I don't. 377 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,640 Think that really works with teenagers though, because. 378 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Kids kind of change what they want and. 379 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,560 If you. Get all their gifts. 380 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,960 Months in advance they're going to be into like different. 381 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,240 Hobbies by the time. Christmas comes along or they'll 382 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,440 start asking you for things. I only want one thing this year 383 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,680 and it's like, oh. No, I already. 384 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,720 Bought you something I don't know. 385 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,040 That's a fear. That I have. 386 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,080 I mean, I don't want to shop too far in advance. 387 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,400 But. At the same time, I need to work 388 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,600 on, not. Saving it to the last minute. 389 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,400 I will admit I do the. Bulk of my Christmas. 390 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:47,200 Shopping like in a couple of days, you know, maybe a week. 391 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,000 Before Christmas or. Even a little. 392 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,680 Closer I get pretty. Close. 393 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,520 And I do it. Over the course of a couple of 394 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,480 days, but I'm. Trying not to. 395 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,560 Do that this year. I am trying to break it up a 396 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,600 little bit more. Both. 397 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,640 Breaking up the expense and the the time commitment of it. 398 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Also I'm planning to make some handmade. 399 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Gifts so I'm. Planning to get started on that 400 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,000 on the trip some of you might remember. 401 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,560 About a year ago. I became obsessed with loom 402 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:24,800 netting. I kind of slowed down on it, but 403 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,960 I'm back into doing it a lot. I think it's just. 404 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,640 Fun in the fall. When the weather. 405 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,120 Starts to get. Cold to be knitting. 406 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,880 It's also. A good hobby for me because I'm 407 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,960 in the car a lot. Like. 408 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,880 We drive a long. Way to church and. 409 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,120 Also we. I tend to ride. 410 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,680 Around with my husband, just on random days. 411 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,920 But I do it at. Least once a week where I go on 412 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,280 like a work road trip with them and that. 413 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,000 Gives me something to do while I'm just. 414 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Sitting in the truck chatting with them. 415 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,520 So it's it's super. Convenient, I've just got. 416 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,040 Like a tote bag ready to go. With my loom knitting stuff and 417 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,160 I've got. Three different. 418 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,880 Projects going to choose from that I can, you know, work on. 419 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,240 I've got ones I work on at home, I've got ones I work on it on 420 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,000 the road. But my point is, I don't want to 421 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000 wait until I'm down to the. Wire to start. 422 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,920 Making handmade gifts. So I'm just throwing some things 423 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,520 out there that might help you prepare and no judgment. 424 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,840 Here if you like to shop. At the last minute, I definitely 425 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,440 kind of lean that way and we'll see. 426 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,200 If I actually get. Some of the gifts. 427 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,960 Purchased early. The things I'm buying. 428 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,200 Because. It's something I say. 429 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,440 Every year. And then I don't end up doing 430 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,360 it, but right now the main. Focus is. 431 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,320 Preparing for our Thanksgiving trip and there's really not a 432 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,080 ton of preparation involved. I mean, we've already. 433 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,440 Purchased a camper SO. That's the that, that's. 434 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,880 Making it easy, we can start. Putting things out there. 435 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,680 In the camper and stuff like that and I've got that. 436 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Pack list that I always refer to. 437 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,920 And I think I'm going to create a new. 438 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,240 Procedure list just for. Leaving town and making 439 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,520 arrangements and things like that and making a new note in my 440 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,080 phone for that. Hopefully you are. 441 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,760 Cleaning the surfaces of your kitchen, don't forget. 442 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,360 To of course wipe down your countertops stove. 443 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:44,920 Top clean out that sink. And maybe you also need to wipe 444 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,040 down your table chairs. A high chair. 445 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,520 If you have a. Little 1:00 and then of. 446 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Course the the finishing. Touch is always to. 447 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Sweep and mop your kitchen, maybe after. 448 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,960 This you'll you'll. Put on a few songs. 449 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,400 While you do that. Sweeping and mopping I. 450 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,280 Hope you. Got a lot done. 451 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,960 During this episode. I hope I've given you some food. 452 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,800 For thought. On preparing for the holidays, 453 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,640 01 other thing. That. 454 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760 My mom used to do, which I thought was a neat idea. 455 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,000 She. Would wrap a box of chocolates. 456 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,320 And put. It under the Christmas tree. 457 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,960 In case a neighbor or some other acquaintance. 458 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,360 Showed. Up with a gift. 459 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:35,000 Someone she wasn't expecting to exchange gifts with. 460 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,440 Then if that happened, she would grab one of those unmarked gifts 461 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,680 from under the tree. Oh, here's yours. 462 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,320 And give them that. Box of chocolates. 463 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,840 I thought that was a neat idea because sometimes a neighbor 464 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,720 can. Surprise you? 465 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,840 They bake. Cookies. 466 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,320 Or done something else and it's. Just nice to have. 467 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,760 Something to give them in return. 468 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,720 It's. Also a good idea to just be 469 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,080 prepared for. Things like white elephant. 470 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,720 Gift exchanges. Christmas parties at school. 471 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,520 Church whatnot. Another thing. 472 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,360 To think about. Some of you may or may not. 473 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:19,240 Already do this, but a lot of. Students now give. 474 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,920 Gifts to the teachers. And then your kids. 475 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,200 Going to feel. Left out if they. 476 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,080 Have nothing to. Give so. 477 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,640 Even if you're just. Getting each teacher a small 478 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:33,040 candle or something like that. And yes I've seen the tik. 479 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,720 Toks where teachers. Complain about things like mugs, 480 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,680 candles, blah blah. Blah, but I feel. 481 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,920 Like candles are consumable. So it's not like. 482 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,840 A mug where they're going to accumulate too many mugs. 483 00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:48,240 I like getting mugs. Because at our house. 484 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,000 They end up breaking after a while so people are welcome to 485 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,120 give me mugs. But teacher gifts? 486 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,840 Are something to think about gift exchanges. 487 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,560 You know. Have a few little. 488 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,040 You know, food gifts on hand. Those always. 489 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,280 Work. For gift exchanges, White. 490 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,120 Elephant. Gift can mean like different 491 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:13,240 things to different. People like there's, there's the 492 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,080 kind of. White elephant gift exchange 493 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,840 where you're supposed to. Bring something like super weird 494 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,480 and I feel. Like that type of. 495 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,480 Gift exchange isn't common anymore, you know, like you get 496 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,680 something silly. Like a chia pet or? 497 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Just some other gag gift type of thing. 498 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,440 I feel like that's not as common some people when they're. 499 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,400 Talking about a white elephant gift exchange. 500 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,080 They're talking. About a game. 501 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,600 Where people can either. Open a new gift or you know. 502 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,840 Steal quote UN quote. Steal a gift. 503 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,960 From someone else and like, you know, open that there's that 504 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,800 game and sometimes with that game all the gifts are nice. 505 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,840 None of them are gag gifts or anything. 506 00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:59,320 It's all something useful. So my point is when you're out. 507 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,280 Christmas shopping you may. Want to get a? 508 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,080 Couple extra items if it's in your budget. 509 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,240 Just to kind of be. Prepared for things like. 510 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,960 Gift exchanges or just receiving gifts that you weren't 511 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280 expecting, not that you. Always have to reciprocate. 512 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,960 When someone else. Gives a gift, but it it sure 513 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,560 feels good if you have. Something to give in return. 514 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,440 Another thing I want to give you a heads up on is posing for a 515 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,560 family photo and making a Christmas card. 516 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,640 Even if it's just something that you post online, you know, maybe 517 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,200 you're not going to mail out. Christmas cards. 518 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,680 A lot of us. Don't end up doing that, but I 519 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,560 have been known to. Pose with the. 520 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,280 Family and then be like consider this your Christmas card or 521 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,480 something like that. And I realize not all of you 522 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,600 celebrate Christmas. But I'm talking about the. 523 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,800 Holidays that we celebrate. And what we? 524 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,680 Do but it's. It's definitely nice to. 525 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760 Pose every year. Oh, here's. 526 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,720 Another thing that I do and just be working on your kitchen. 527 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,680 Floor as this episodes. Coming to a. 528 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,520 Close but. I like to print some favorite 529 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,960 photos. From throughout the year, you 530 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,960 know, maybe pick one of each person or something to kind of 531 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,320 update. Those cluster frames. 532 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,200 The type of frames where you can put a bunch of small pictures in 533 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,880 them. Sometimes the. 534 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,000 Holiday. Season when you're going to be 535 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,560 having guests. Over is a great. 536 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,600 Time to kind of. Hang up some updated. 537 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,520 Pictures. Whether you're putting them in 538 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,000 the same frame or buying more frames, and that's something 539 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,360 that I tend. To procrastinate on but. 540 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,240 You know, maybe going through your social media throughout the 541 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,560 year, picking some favorite pictures and then uploading 542 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,800 them. To the website of your favorite 543 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,880 photo. Developing place whether you're 544 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,120 doing it by mail or you're picking them up at like 545 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,840 Walgreens or Walmart, it's easier than it sounds I. 546 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,920 Procrastinate on it. A lot of times my adult. 547 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,840 Daughter Jessica, my oldest. Well, you know Jessica. 548 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,720 A lot of times Jessica will. Kind of help me. 549 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,200 With with. That and because she's good 550 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,560 about doing that. So that's just another thing. 551 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,880 To think about, I'm trying to help you get a. 552 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,880 Jump start on things. To do for the holidays it. 553 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,600 Also might be time to think about what you're going to wear. 554 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,360 I kind of have a. Go to white sweater that I wear. 555 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,240 You know, around Christmas time because it it to. 556 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,320 Me it feels Christmassy. And you know, I could get some 557 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,800 cheap Christmas earrings to go with it or something and I'm 558 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,600 good to go. I hope you got your kitchen 559 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,240 cleaned during this episode. And I hope. 560 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,280 I've at. Least inspired you to make A to 561 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,880 do. List whether you're. 562 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,720 Preparing to to. Travel to have people. 563 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,080 Come to your house. Or. 564 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,560 Just just to exchange.
