[Washing machine is splashing as it washes.]
Me: "I have started a small change in my life."

Earlier, I used to have difficulties to clean up, because of depression and being lazy.
Internet pal had taken up a 20-minute trick, which I am now testing myself.
Internet pal's message: "20 minuuttia joka aamu!"
Me: "So; 20 minutes of cleaning every morning, right after waking up."

Our mountain of dishes has become smaller, to name an example.
I even got down to business and cleaned the bathroom drain.
Me: "Hurgh!"
Me: "Generally speaking, we have things neater, because chores are not piling up.
I have also been sharp about putting things back to their places and trash to theirs."

Cardboards are folded and put in a large bag, glass jars are rinsed and placed in a box.
Me: "Although what's the use, when NO ONE ELSE in this house recycles!?"
Me: "Ahem, well so... I meant to say that in our household this method has worked well!"

Me: "This might be a lifetime's change. One can't assume I would return to 'one longer cleaning day a week'-pace."
Couple of others have had it harder to adapt to these changes.
Me: "OUT OF MY WAY WHEN I WASH THE FLOORS!"
