We went out to a play last night. It was grand, it really was. We didn't get home til just about 11. On a school night, who knew.
Believe it or not, I DID do a cleaning task last night, just ran out of awake time to blog about it.
Yesterday's project: the counter to the right of the stove, and the window and wall to go with it. Time spent: 20 minutes
Tonight's project: the stove itself (inside and out) and the window and walls above it. Time spent: 25 minutes (while listening to Nat teach Jack how to play Magic. Which was just about the most entertaining thing ever. Could've kept cleaning all night except for it being Jack's bedtime...)
I don't know why we've waited this long to wash those windows. What a difference! And it wasn't even that hard.
Again these past few days, the hardest thing has been stopping after one project is done. It is a struggle to draw that imaginary line between one area and the next, to stop and leave the grime and grit where it is... until tomorrow.
Next up-- pulling out the stove to sweep behind it, and the inside of the pots and pans cupboard. Yippee. We need new lining for the bottom of the shelves in there-- cast iron and other metal objects being dragged around for years on end has really done a number on the white contact paper we have in there right now... any recommendations?
I'm going to sleep on the haiku. Turns out 17 little syllables can be tricky to come up with when you don't start trying til 11pm....
