Just the opposite for us. The house has never been cleaner and Ellen is spending every available moment in the garden.

The house is cleaner, the vacuum cleaner is wondering if it will ever get a day off. Laundry is gathered for washing almost before the clothes are removed. Dishwasher is no longer crammed full before being cycled. The fridge is cleaned out every other day and there has been more cooking done in the last two months than in the last two years. Good thing we got new appliances in December.
The dogs have a doorperson to cater to every whim. They all want to go out at the same time but stagger their reentries.
Next project...cleaning windows on the patio doors. I freaking hate cleaning windows.

I got 10 years of hard water deposits off the shower doors.
And I'm doing everything I can to put off outdoor painting.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Mrs Zebo cut my hair... not going out in public for at least a month!
