I try to devote 1 day to cleaning and yes, dusting! My husband does mopping and vacuuming. I can't do heavy stuff like that. Sometimes I cook more than 1 days meals and frees me up for quiltng. What I don't like is keeping up with paper work. I have all monthly bills paid by my computer. I've been retired for 6 years and finally finished amost of my UFO's.
