:My wife cleans houses and wears a paper mask ALL the time in the ‘cleanest’ and ‘nicest’ homes”

Good for her and they’ve been wearing them in Japan for years.

I have small scatter rugs, on top of the carpeting, linoleum and wood floor (a small section) and I forget what color my wall to wall is.
She does dishes like at a Chinese reastaurant ... almost as soon as your done with your plate (even though she's still eating), she slips out of her chair, takes it to the sink, rinses quickly and sits back down quicker'n a fly fleeing the swatter.
I smile and thank God a dozen times a day for her.
