Spring Cleaning
Tue Mar 16 2004


Spring.

Housecleaning.

Spring Cleaning.

I have both my vacuums out today. The canister for dusting blinds and furniture and woodwork, and the upright for the carpeting. Today it's the bedroom. I have ALL the bedding off the bed. Some in the wash, some in the dryer and some hanging out in the warm sun. All the pillows are out sunning themselves on the patio swing and the bed sits in the middle of the floor where Hub Man pulled it out from the wall for me this morning, as I can't get the thing to budge an inch by myself.

All the windows are open and warm fresh air blows through the house.

Dust fears me.

Cobwebs tremble in fear.

Detritus has been exiled to the garbage can to be deported by the trash guy today.

Although my definition of detritus and Hub Man's are not even in the same dictionary.

But we manage most of the time to tolerate each others definitions. Everyone has baggage. Some of us just have MORE of it than others....

Smiling sweetly.

That kind of smile where butter wouldn't melt in my mouth. You know the one. :-)

    Oh, do I ever know the one. It's the smile that Mona Lisa models on her smug days.

    Oh how I wouldn't love to have you come clean MY house, lol. As I just moved, everything was cleaned before being put in place of course but tracking in and out just moving the boxes themselves has created a dusty mess *sigh*.

    Is any of that energy for sale?

    If I don't get started soon, I'll have to do as the rabbi suggested. Cuz there's no way my house will be ready for Pesach if I don't get my fanny in gear.

    Shalom

    I won't ask if you can come over, but you know, you're always welcome. If you get bored or anything. Just a thought.

    I don't suppose you want to come do my house next? No? Darn, I guess that means I have to do it myself.

    Ya spring is in the air, Daisy cleaned out flower bed and planted some things and I have been burning brush and clearing to beat the burn ban.
    Still have about a dozen trees to drop and burm the limbs . I is sore all over and admit to things are not as easy as they once were.
    I see the hot tub on the list before bed if I can make it.

    Ah, the old spring cleaning. Don't really do it myself. Have fun. ;-)
