Spring Cleaning Blogging Break

Retirement Reflections

It’s that time of the year again — Spring Cleaning calls!

Not my favourite of endeavours, to actually GET IT DONE I need to reduce other more pleasant distractions.

To acoomplish this, I will be taking a short blogging break from now until May 3.

I will be back posting for ‘What’s On Your Plate’ on Wednessay, May 5. Deb (The Widow Badass) and I hope that you will join us again then.

Spring Cleaning here I come.

See you again soon!

Prior to retirement, I lived and worked in Beijing China for fourteen years (Middle School Principal/Deputy Director at The Western Academy of Beijing). Leaving international life behind, my husband and I retired to Vancouver Island in June 2015. To document both this transition and our new adventures, ‘Retirement Reflections’ was born. I hope that you enjoy reading these reflections, and will be willing to share your own.

  1. Am doing a massive tidy up in my home, not spring cleaning as such but in prep for people coming to stay, one from Wednesday for several days and a couple on Friday for a few nights -also good friends. My study has been the biggest challenge but I’m almost there! Happy spring cleaning Donna! You look very professional 👀

    1. Thanks, Susan – My burst of Spring (household) cleaning is now done. I also got a start on cleaning out my digital photo albums on both my computer and my phone. I did say ‘start’. Definitely more to do. I hope that your company and your own Spring cleaning went well. I will drop by your site now to check in.

  7. Oh, but we’ll miss you! I’ve been spring cleaning during the winter – seemed to be a good Covid-at-home activity. But enjoy your break – I hope you get in more long walks and shorter cleaning time. :–) xo

  12. I must admit, my cleaning has taken a bit of a break during the pandemic. No visitors, no problem! Now that we are comfortable enough to have an occasional double doser in the house, I’ve become more tidy. As it is, my closet and my pantry are begging me for some attention. Maybe I’ll join you on break 🙂

    1. HI, Janis – I love your “No visitors, No problem” mantra. Now that I am done my Spring cleaning, I simply need restrictions to lift so that we can have company over. I promise to deep clean again before you arrive in August. Greatly looking forward to it! 😀

  15. I’d say “have fun” but I guess it’s more ‘nose to the grindstone and get it done’ stuff. Hope it all goes smoothly and you’ll be back soon with a shiny house xx

  16. The most satisfying thing of spring cleaning for me is getting rid of some of the clutter we’ve acquired over the years.

    It feels funny to say enjoy your cleaning, but it’s one of those things we need to do periodically, (like going to the dentist.)

  22. Happy cleaning, Donna! We recently did this in 90+ degrees Fahrenheit in Zesty, but for other reasons… Enjoy the little blogging break. I should do this too when other endeavors call. But, blogging is a good excuse to postpone those other, more pressing endeavors. 🙂
