This Week's Assignment (Deep Treatment): We're cleaning the entryway and closet to make room for a landing strip. A healthy entryway consists of: coat hooks or hangers, a doormat, and a space to sort mail. You're also moving old magazines and mail into the outbox, and cancelling catalogs.
Plizzyp has a spic and span kitchen that has created a great peace of mind.
Continuing Tasks: As we move on to new parts of the Cure, keep in mind those continuing tasks which are at the heart of making and keeping your home healthy: cleaning, cooking, and repairs.

Oh so THAT'S why I got so many comments. :) Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Hi, all! I guess I'm going to have to take an Incomplete grade on this Cure... Life has a way of throwing unexpected things in one's way. My father (age 95) had a fall on Thursday, and broke his hip. He's just gone into the O.R. for what will likely have to be hip replacement surgery. So between going back and forth to the hospital, and helping my 87 year old mother out at home (I'm staying with her right now), curing my apartment has gone fairly far down my list of priorities.
I'll check in when I can to see how the rest of you are doing. Y'all take care and have fun!
I hope your father's surgery goes okay smallcitybeth. Take care of your family and we are here if you need the support!
smallcitybeth - We'll see you next year for the Spring Cure! May comfort and quick recoveries be with your familiy!
