Cleaning is repetitive and boring.  It’s also heart-breaking because very soon after something gets cleaned, it gets dirty.  Dishes are really good at doing that—about 30 seconds after they are washed, one goes and gets itself dirty again.  Sigh.

However, most people are in need of exercise.  So, instead of seeing cleaning as a job that is never done, and that I have to do over and over again until I die (and then I’ll be buried in dirt), I prefer to see it as an opportunity for some aerobic exercise.  Sometimes it’s strength training if I have to move things around like furniture or boxes of stuff.  Anyway, since I started using cleaning as an opportunity to get healthier, my house is cleaner and I’m losing weight!
