Now I know how good housekeeping is done, by observing bff. Every day, she does something productive. Not a day goes by without her doing a load of laundry or mopping the wooden and the vinyl floorss or sweeping the floors or vacuuming. Everything is done done swiftly and, to an outside observer, effortlessly. I envy her. Her mother taught her the right skills and the right attitude when bff was growing up. My mother had absolutely no housekeeping skills, nada, zero. That I can cook is completely self-taught.
