On Friday morning I was up at 5AM, got the post up, the kitchen cleaned up, a couple chores done and a shower and was almost ready when my helper friend arrived at 8AM.
I had filled the feeders because I had to fix the loop for one of the suet feeders. Larry has discovered there are now birds out there.
First thing we did was feed the house plants. Each container of tepid water gets some of each of these. We finished this around 9AM.
The big job for the day was cleaning the counter area. I realized I’d not sealed the backsplash tiles since installation in 2021. It’s supposed to be done yearly. So I scrubbed them, rinsed them and let them dry thoroughly. But when I went to apply the sealer, I realized I was out of sponge brushes.
I also realized that if I was bringing soup and cornbread to the potluck Sunday night, I’d best make sure I had all the ingredients. I didn’t, so I sent my helper friend off to get sponge brushes and groceries.
He had been cleaning the underside of the glass front cabinets and vacuuming the cabinet over the hood. I took over cleaning the hood while he was gone. He got back just in time to leave for the next client.
We got the groceries put away, I had some lunch and sat down until I had to go to PT.
I got 1 coat of sealer on before I had to leave for PT. When I got home, I did the second coat then started cleaning things up. My contractor arrived with a new clutch for the washer and got that installed. It now makes a different noise… sigh… but still runs.
By 5PM I was wiped out. I still had a lot of things to wash up and put back where they belong. I was too tired to read my new book, maybe on Saturday.
On Saturday my first job is to get the trash ready to go to the dump. My brother will drive the truck with the plow on it for me. Once my post is up, I will resume work in the kitchen. I hope to finish the seed starting notes sheets and then be done with that project, once I put everything back where it belongs.
I should also start the bills/budget but I doubt that will happen, maybe Sunday morning… It’s supposed to be a sunny day, so not so much fire tending.
The kitchen looks very clean now tough after all that work
The kitchen looks so nice and clean. I still have to get to mine. lol
Still a long ways to go in it....
