On the market: Day 1

So the alarm goes off.  No snooze button today.  In fact that alarm is going off about 45 minutes earlier than usual.  Even the dog is confused as she groans and rolls over to the other side of the bed.

You see; my house is no longer just my house - it is now "a product".  So the new morning routine begins.  The bed is made.  Everything thing out of place is put away.  No dirty socks on the floor, the bathroom towels hung up perfectly, the window shades open and a couple of lights turned on.

Then we move to the kitchen, where not 1 dirty dish or glass is left, the counters are cleaned, the dishwasher run.  Then a quick vacuum, a check of the "plug ins" near the cat box and a few more lights on and pillows fluffed on the sofa just right.

WAIT - I have to clean the bathroom sick - I just saw some remnants of toothpaste !  My desk !  Things out of place.  That window; dog slobber.  The trash - emptied.

NOW...I am ready to leave the house.  Almost an hour extra this morning !

DANG - it's gonna be a long haul if I don't sell quick !
