Going North...great idea! I would be lost without my monthly housekeeper.
For those who don't have any housekeeper, if you can afford it at all...in my humble opinion, it is WELL WORTH IT.
I have some autoimmune issues, so body aches come with the territory. Therefore, I'm not sure when it might be typical for body aches to appear without that situation.
Maybe late 40s???? A lot would depend on overall health and perhaps if one is carrying extra weight. I just lost five pounds and already feel slightly better. *Best to check with your doctor.
I have a housekeeper once a month. THANK GOODNESS. I wish it was more often, but I'm thrilled for this relief. On the weeks she comes, I use it to catch up with my folding and ironing....which is almost always behind.
by the way, Christmas time or if I am ill, I gather that ironing and simply take it to the Dry Cleaners. I don't sweat it. But, most of the time, I try to do it if at all possible.
Ok, so three weeks out of the month I have to clean.
I have learned to pace myself. This is a MUST.
I do the master bedroom and bath on Thursday. Easy.
On Friday, I do the living room and a few other rooms.
On Saturday or Sunday, I do the kitchen.
If my autoimmune stuff is causing bad issues, I might have to do it on a different day or my husband might have to chip in.
I'm fortunate that since I have the housekeeper once a month, I can take shortcuts here and there.
To me, that is wonderful and well worth it.
