My housework has gone to hell as I gear up for this house thing. Today we caulked and did House Math for school–that is, we measured the house and figured the amount of paint we need. Meanwhile, DangerDad will be finishing up the siding fix this evening, and I need to remind him to remove the screen fixings (his baby project).
All that’s left is to buy everything and take down things like lamps and so on–then it’s masking and painting time!
Also, I decided to make Easter dresses–one is done, and one is fabric. And I got an invitation to my cousin’s baby shower, which is great, only I was figuring the quilt would need to be done by June, not by April 22. It’s also fabric right now. Agh! Panic!
I cleaned the bathroom and unloaded/loaded the dishwasher this morning. The bathroom is a daunting task, indeed. Even though I do the whole process every 2 weeks or so, the rust removal process requires a hazmat suit. I use The Works to get the rust out of the tub and toilet (yes, it builds up noticeably in about a week). That shit is so toxic that I had to open the window and set up a fan to blow the fumes out. :eek:
I think my next task will be vacuuming and dusting and a little laundry. Then I’m going to tackle The Office. I need to file some papers away and do some dusting. Then I’m going to measure for some new bookshelves. The ones I have are totally inadequate.
Last week I cleaned my office picture window. I had no idea how filthy it was! Looky that…spring has sprung and I can actually SEE it!
