Dear FlyLady,

I got in the habit of swishing and swiping several years ago when it was the habit for the month. Until recently, it’s just been a matter of hygiene and something that makes me feel in control.

Then, last January, I came down with some sort of stomach virus that knocked me off my feet one Thursday evening. As I rushed to the bathroom and bent over the toilet, I remember thinking: “Hmm, this toilet smells amazing.” Strange thought for sure, but true nonetheless.

Thanks to a great S&S habit, I was able to be sick in relative comfort. And because the toilet was already clean, clean up was a breeze too.

To any readers out there who are doubtful about swishing and swiping, please give it a try. It really doesn’t take long at all and is well worth the effort.

Once you’ve been doing it regularly, you can do it in no time flat.

Thanks FlyLady, for helping us believe in ourselves.

Yours,
Flybaby Nina in NYC
