partially . . .

kiddo free weekend.  time to catch up on the little stuff like, oh, i don't know.  vacuum 74 cats worth of hair from the wood floors.  iron enough clothes to actually see the dryer again.  clean out the fireplace so the ashes are no longer billowing into the living room.  reset said fireplace in hopes it turns nordic outside.

i'm a list maker.  and yes, there was a list of chores to do today.  and yes, i iron all the tops before i attempt the bottoms because they are easier.  and yes, the tablecloth from thanksgiving may still need to be ironed.  so i ticked the tops off the list but certainly not the bottoms. they can wait.  they have lots of patience. 

somehow the kitchen got only partially cleaned.  enough so that i could find the sink.  and the oven.  and roast a chicken. slurp.

the toilets never got done.  they are in competition with the 76 station on I-10.  they'd be very unhappy if they lost.  i'll give them another 24 hours.

i actually did a load of laundry and was willing to do a second load but there weren't enough whites for a load. maybe if i actually scrubbed the floors, there would be enough no longer white rags to do the trick.  i wonder if i have enough bleach?

and so dear friends, i partially cleaned.  partially.  tomorrow morning i will go grocery shopping and maybe partially clean some more.  or not.  it seems i'm not partial to cleaning.
