Saturday is for adulting, I guess
Sep. 7th, 2019 02:08 pmSo, I'm adulting today. Whew. Completely cleaned the kitchen floor - which involves moving a LOT of different things around in stages. Small house/small floor space means we store things in odd ways - there's a chair in the kitchen to sit on for when either of us HAS to sit during chores. There is stuff stored under that chair in a bucket. Right now the chair is also being used to store jars for 'canning' - some filled, some still boxed up. Also a temp bucket for the watermelons Renee harvested last night. Had to stack a lot of stuff in odd places so I could get TO the floor!.
She's gone doing other stuff most of the day, so I had plenty of time to take it in sections and make a good job of it.
Got the biggest portion of the counter all cleared off and all the mouse poop in the corner cleaned up - using chemicals, of course, to discourage repeat visitation - and then put back. Trying to keep things in mouse-proof containers back there and make it not so much of a 'highway'. May have found the place the were dashing through and blocked that off solidly. We'll see.
Dishes done and I both fed the kitties their lunch and fed me as well. I think I need some more food, though - I've used a lot of energy, apparently. Lots of things in the fridge to make me a mid-afternoon snack, so that is not a worry. I might even hard-boil some eggs - been craving egg salad lately.
Laundry is now started. I think I am about done for the day. I took a couple of rest breaks while portions of the floor dried, so I am not completely exhausted, but I am running out of steam. Maybe tomorrow I can get to the vacuuming that should be done.
All in all, while it has been a pretty long day so far, I feel good about the end result - and no kitties were harmed in the process (sometimes they can get underfoot when sweeping is happening).
Off to cook, I think. Temps outside are lovely - cool and cloudy, with on again/off again rain showers but no thunder and lightning (very very frightening). Both doors open for breezes and airing out the house. Really feels like Fall (my actual favorite time of year).
