Cleaning Sucks

[ithildin]

I moved all the movable furniture, chairs, runners, bits and pieces out of the living room yesterday so Nin could shampoo when she got home. And packed away all the Halloween stuff in boxes she brought home. All together from moving to finishing the carpets, it took about five hours. Now I get to put everything back today. In between, I made some homemade nacho chips since I didn't have anything to do while she was shampooing. They came out pretty darn well. I also complete my goal of from scratch chicken and dumplings and they finished product received the NinjaBabyBird seal of approval. Today, I need to put stuff back, freeze the left over stock, make enfrijolada sauce for tonight's dinner, yogurt for the week, finish cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom (did get the tub bleached yesterday), change bed linens and put away the piles of stuff in my room.

By back is tweaked and my asthma is crazy! My lungs don't like cleaning, obviously [g] But at least the apartment is ready for the holidays, and our house guests over the next two weekends. Company is very motivating to getting in gear and cleaning! Think I'll have time to get some writing in today? Me either!

Just reading all that you did makes me tired for you.

*grins*

Yes, company can be very motivating.

I hope you have a good holiday season.

Makes me tired too! But if it's written out, I can't ignore it and sluff the day off [g]

Do you do windows? (ducking and running) *grin*

Pffft! I did those last weekend! And realized water has been leaking between the two panes of glass. So my sparkley windows on the outside are icky on the inside, and I can't get to it. Made sure the landlord knew so when we move, they don't try and claim we didn't clean the windows.

your cleaning mojo makes me feel highly inadequate.

I hate to tell you, but I totally cannot get motivated to clean. Blah!

Need a nap now. Reading what you did exhausted me.

Now you can sit on the carpet next week with no worries!

I don't want anyone eating my food worried they're going to get some sort of illness from it [g] Or afraid to take a shower cus it's icky. I stress over such things.

My cleaning mojo is pooped.

Congrats on being so productive!

Should I have been worried before? Your apartment is always neat and clean, or at least it seemed that way. Mmmmm!@

That's because I cleaned before you came [g] Though, this is the first time you've had the carpet shampooed for you. I hate the pale beige carpet they put in apartments. We bought a shampooer as a mutual Xmas present last year. It does a really nice job.

So, anything in particular you want to eat? I'm in the beginning of menu planning, so let me know.

I'm afraid writing wasn't in the cards this weekend. But I did get to finish the book I was reading!

Anything you want to make. You are a great cook, so I am sure it will be fantastic. Also, it would be my pleasure to treat you and April to a lunch or dinner out if there is place you want to try.

Remind me how many nights you'll be here? I've lost track between your visit and Jen's.

Is there anything you don't want to eat? Obviously, I'll avoid Italian cuisine [g] don't want to give you any Olive Garden flashbacks!

that's great!
