Three loads of laundry done. Well, folded but not put away.
I find laundry very soothing when I’m a bit under the weather. I have a chair down there and I just sit and zone out in the warm moist air, listening to sloshes and the hums and soft thumps of the dryer. Very soothing.
My husband has been wonderful about emptying the dishwasher and sticking dirty stuff into it these past few days. When I came down after two days hibernating, all I found were a small pile of ‘odd’ things he didn’t know where to put away (colander, gravy boat, stuff like that.) Plus the counters were covered with crumbs, but, heck, a minute with a sponge and all was good.
I think I’ll keep him.
Bad news: the mouse had a friend. The trap’s been reset and it’s waiting for the little bastard. If that doesn’t work, I’m borrowing my friend’s cat since mine’s been taught not to bother rodents (I used to have gerbils).
It’s kitchen weekend again and once again I desperately need to take the trash out. Time to renew my resolution to do this EVERY WEEK DAMMIT.
I am having a well-deserved little rest after cleaning both bathrooms. Last week I got distracted and spent my cleaning time trying to get the stupid wallpaper border off the stupid bathroom wall–that stuff has been my nemesis since we moved in. I am officially never putting any wallpaper up–it’s too hard to remove. I have stripper, but it doesn’t seem to work all that well.
Funny you should mention cleaning bathrooms. Years ago, I emailed my dad to ask him, “Who invented polyurethane?” He replied with a rather long history, and ended by stating that it was no one person, but rather a team. “Why did you want to know?”
“Because I wanted to slap him silly if he was still alive, or curse his ghost if he’s not. Before I sent that message, I was scrubbing the tub, and I’m here to tell you, bathroom fixtures should ALL be porcelain, NEVER poly!”
Actually, I’m sure polyurethane has many worthwhile uses other than for bathroom fixtures. It just shouldn’t be used for a tub or shower. So the inventors are okay; instead I curse the cheapskates who choose to install poly tubs instead of porcelain.
I’ve taken the liberty of starting a March edition of the thread.
