Resolution already underway

[prog]

Have already noted how I spent NYE cleaning stuff; decided yesterday that I'd let that set the tone for home maintenance this year. So, retroactive resolution: I shall never feel compelled to apologize for the mess again, by virtue of the mess being absent.

Just now I noticed that I managed to track some dirt in -- a small pile, rigidly defined. Time was I'd just step around it until I forgot enough times that it got ground into invisible dust. Argh! I am ashamed to admit this but it is true. Tonight, though, I broke out the vacuum cleaner. Once the immediate threat was neutralized, went ahead and gave nearby planar surfaces a solid upsucking. Very good.

Also, since the year began, I have been washing dishes about as often as I've been brushing my teeth.
