1. Throw back the covers and let your bed air out.
2. Open up the blinds and windows.
3. After breakfast clean up the kitchen and eating area.

5. Straighten up the living areas, pick up clutter, lightly dust, straighten pillows, and water plants.
6. Make the beds.
7. Tidy the bedroom, including a light dusting.
8. Hang up any clothes that may be about or ensure dirty ones are in the hamper.
9. Do a light tidying of the bathroom including removing and replacing used towels, refilling toilet paper and soap (as needed), and cleaning the sink area including soap dishes.

Something dear and gentle to ease you into the weekend.

Frieda was dubbed "Hitler's bookbinder" in this garbage article by boing boing, archived so you don't give them the click: https://archive.ph/CU2ur

Where to place that ventilation is vitally important. The Golden Rules are:

- Include as many large openings as possible,
- and make them adjustable so you can open or close them as weather and wind direction indicates,
- always include high vents to allow warm moist air to exit,
- unless your climate is very cold, include some cross ventilation,
- but avoid drafts blowing directly onto the chickens,
- keep out the rain and other sources of water,
- and keep the manure cleaned out.
