Cleaning Schedule

Wow, this blog has certainly been neglected...a cleaning schedule, never had one. Actually, I have had the following schedule for what is going on 2 years but never actually followed it. Now that I am trying to take control of my life, I thought I would give it a try, and time how long it takes me to do each task, because, as I have suspected, so far it doesn't take nearly as long as I think it does. (I will be updating as I do it.)
