Good morning Barb!  Make sure you change furnace filter and you might want to clean your ducts. Dust hides out on top of stuff too like cabinets. Good luck!  We just renovated our bathroom but it wasn't too bad. Hired someone to come in and do the big clean and do all the walls and ceilings. Swiffers are my friend!

Thanks Monica.  The builder changed the filters every 2 weeks during construction.   Didn't think about ducts but it's a thought. 

I bought a refurbished Dyson cordless floor vacumn on Thursday.   I use it every day but agree re swiffers.  Our garage is loaded with dust and even though they had plastic on the ceiling and walls of the basement,  it managed to penetrate all our boxes and clothes.  

It would have been easier to just move to a new house, but I love our street.  

Welcome to my nightmare.  We have been renovating something almost every year and the dust just seems to be everywhere and we don't even have forced air heating.  We had walled off the area being worked on and the dust still went everywhere.  Not sure if you had any new drywall installed but that dust from them sanding the mud is so fine that I think you find it for years to come and it does get in everything.

All I can say is ughh.

Drywall, plus lots of woodwork etc etc.  The whole house was gutted.  Yesterday I thought they missed painting some of the baseboards  due to discolouration, but realized it was a thick layer of dust.

I just gotta quit *****ing about it.  

I feel your pain. When we replaced the walls in our centre hallway the dust from plaster being removed and the dust from drywall seemed to be everywhere. Hope it ends soon.

Out for a walk shortly then grocery shopping. Out for dinner tonight. Have no idea what they will be serving. I will have to add it to my menu later.

b greek yogurt, blueberries

l chili, yogurt

s turkey pepperette

Good morning everyone.  Went on a Jane's Walk this morning with a foodie theme.  2 hours of walking is no problem now that I am at a healthier weight, not pain whatsoever.  So thankful for this surgery.  It was perfect weather for this and I got to same some great local food samples and picked up some really nice stuff.  Hot-smoked sturgeon, locally-sourced free-run eggs, Haida smoked salmon, Korean smoked salmon, local-raisedl beef.  Tomorrow I intend to go to a walk at the bird sanctuary near where I live, sounds like fun.

Got my hair cut and highlighted yesterday so I feel like a million bucks today.  Amazing what a nice haircut can do for your morale eh?
