On Thursday morning I was again not up until 6AM. I had to order some stuff and then I got my post up. I got the kitchen cleaned up and then sat down to work on the garden bed notes for 1½ hours. I got a shower and then went to PT.
When I got back at noon my helper friend was already here. We got started on the dining room. He started vacuuming the walls and ceiling while I was dusting and polishing furniture.
I started cleaning pictures and he scrubbed the cat’s mat. While I finished the pictures, he moved into the laundry room to do the walls and ceiling in there. I got the pictures off the walls for him.
I got the pictures cleaned and hung them on the clean walls. He cleaned out the basket area while I scrubbed down the utility sink and the washer and dryer. He worked on the old wooden ironing board while I scrubbed out the shelf the supplies sit on.
There was one cabinet I use often. The rest are storage and not opened, so I didn’t empty them, just the one. I wiped down the stuff in there and put it back while he worked on dusting and polishing the door.
We “finished” about 3:30PM. I was too exhausted to do more. In the laundry room, we forgot to wash the overhead light. The dining room table top didn’t get done, nor did the things needing washed.
None of the floors were done, just vacuumed. I will be doing the laundry room, dining room, and entry floors on Saturday. They are stone or wood so don’t need waxing, so it won’t take as long.
He will be back at 8AM on Friday and we can finish all these then. We also have birdseed to get into the garden shed as I am out. Friday is to be another sunny cold day.
On Saturday my friend is taking me to the Orchid Show nearby. We are going for when it opens for 2 reasons. My reason is no one is there really until 10AM and the scent of the orchids is heavenly. Her reason is no one is there, and less chance of catching some sickness. So that will be a really nice thing to look forward to.
