I Must Have Been Ill
Woman in the Middle | May 9, 2012I had people coming over on Sunday so Saturday I started to do the down and dirty cleaning of the house. Away with dog fur! Away with cat hair! Away with dust. Away with grime! I started feeling funny so I asked Hubby to check and see if I had a temperature. He had been out in his shop so he kindly checked his hands for dirt before feeling my forehead, neck, and cheek. “No, I don’t think you have a fever. Why?” he said. “Because I was just vacuuming the dining room and I got this giddy feeling of joy and happiness. I was enjoying cleaning!” He agreed that this could only be caused by a virus.
Well, what ever that virus was it was a vicious. I kept cleaning all day long. I must have vacuumed for 45 minutes and then I began on the kitchen, all the while filled with the giddy feeling of home maker happiness. This was my house! I was making it clean and beautiful! Is there some kind of Martha Stewart virus going around?
I am happy to report that, three days later I seem to be over what ever that weird illness was. I did very little around the house yesterday, as least in the cleaning category. Whew! Although I have to say that just talking about it makes me want to dust…
