I, myself, less. But I live with my daughter now, in her home, and she is a "clean freak".

We have occasional gatherings here, which provides an excuse to clean up more thoroughly than otherwise.

As I’ve gotten older I’m not on top of it as often as I used to be. I’m also in a larger home. Honestly I would prefer to be living in a smaller home with less to do.

I can choose what to see and how much time to spend there. I can use audio-guides or read printed descriptions to get more information.
