On Thursday morning I woke to more snow. I was up at 5AM as I had a LOT to do. It soon changed to rain and rained off and on all day.
I forgot to fill the bird feeders the night before, I was so tired. So I’d done it around 7AM. The birds flocked to the newly filled feeders.
As soon as my post was up, the shades pulled and the birds fed, I started cleaning the kitchen. I had until 8:30AM when my #2 intern arrived. Once the kitchen was cleaned I got everything moved out of the way for working on the first bookcase of DVDs/videos.
Then I started stripping everything out of the bathroom. My helper friend would be here at noon and we were going to clean the bathroom.
I got everything out and sorted to a cleaning station and got all the stuff we would need for cleaning ready. Then I sat down until my #2 intern arrived. She was late, not getting here until 9:15AM.
I’d looked at the fairy and I now had 2 large pieces that fit together and couldn’t decide how to proceed. When my #2 intern arrived we talked about it and decided to do one piece at a time, as we’d been doing. These are the rubber bands to hold the piece in place.
She brought the table in from the office to hold the videos as we took them off the shelves. She pulled them off the shelves and I stacked them on the table. Once one shelf was emptied, she would vacuum, dusted and polish the shelf while I washed the divider that allowed double stacking. Then I would run the vacuum over each video to remove dust and any mold spores and hand it to her to put back.
We soon finished the first bookcase on the left side and then moved the couch and started on the right hand bookcase. This one went faster because it wasn’t double stacked like the other one. We finished right at noon.
She left and my helper friend arrived. He got started on the bathroom while I started washing up things. I stopped after a short while because my legs and feet hurt from standing so long and went in to help him with the cleaning.
He soon had the trim and cobwebs vacuumed and started dusting and polishing and cleaning. I started to fade then and went to the living room to lie down.
Around 2PM he had the bathroom mostly done and started to mop the floor. I got up and washed up a few more things. One was the rack for the shower. The glued part let go, so I fixed it with tightly wound wire. It will hold for a while.
Once he finished in the bathroom, I had him vacuum the masonry heater well. It had cooled way down from the night, so was safe to do. He also did the ceiling and walls and the wood box. I had cleaned that off for him.
I was too exhausted to do more, so he went on errands for the rest of the time left.
On Friday morning he will be back at 8AM. I have to get up early to get all the stuff I didn’t finish on Thursday done for the bathroom so I will have room for the living room things needing cleaned or washed. I get to rest a couple hours then I have PT at 3:30PM.
The contractor is coming to try to fix the lid locking problem that he thinks is causing the washer to go dead on a spin.
I will be in bed early on Friday night!
