Michelle, good for you! Resuming normal activities at a measured pace is great!

Allison, if paying the bills is inspiring, I can keep you guys going for months to come! ;-)

I did some dusting in the bathroom and dressing room this morning, and started moving the clutter off of my dresser. It has looked great for ages, but lately, ended up piled up with stuff. I suppose some is stuff moved there to get it out of the dogs' way when they were in for a few nights last month.

I'll keep up the dusting and putting things away. I don't know if an inspector from the insurance company looks at my housekeeping skills, but I know that's all I'll see when he/she is here, so I need to clear out some of the dust and put things where they belong. As the weather gets better here I'll make a point of getting the dog out for a walk each day; that means they're less likely to jump all over the inspector (they love company--an inspector won't have to fear viscious dogs, he'll have to worry about muddy footprints as Poppy jumps and wants to kiss him.)
