The way I go on about this house cleaning must sound like I live in a toxic waste dump. I think I am just transferring the stress of the moving onto this one area. For the record, I have already finished the stove, oven, washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Of course these people I live with still expect me to cook and wash clothes, but hopefully it wont take long to re-clean it all when we are gone. The trying to keep it all pristine is frustrating me too.
Last night we had our BIG SNOW! I am so excited. It was so beautiful, I lit up like a Christmas tree. This morning I spent over an hour shoveling snow. Worked up quite a sweat in the sweet first thing on a snowy morning air. Maybe it will help me sweat out the rest of my cold. I am doing pretty good, just some head congestion left for me. Mandy is still pretty sick, and Lily is not recovering as fast as Jeff and I did. She has had it now for 6 days, today marks day 7, and she really hasn't ate in all that time. Perhaps a strawberry or two per day and milk. She is no longer just sleeping the entire day, she is playing and laughing, so I see improvement. I just hate the part where she doesn't eat. It may be my imagination but it appears she has lost weight. Jeff lost weight and didn't eat during the bad days, Mandy hasn't ate for a couple of days, but me, I ate three meals a day during the whole thing. And I am the only one in the family who could benefit from a few days without food. Oh Well.
Jeff and Mandy have not as of yet been helping with the cleaning. This is not because I am a big martyr. They do help around the house a great deal, I am no martyr. Right now they are both very busy with other important tasks and they will help when they are able. I am having a good laugh thinking of how I portray the family like I do all the work while they sit around with their feet propped up! ha. It isn't like that at all. I am the princess in the house. Today I believe I am going to do something easy like take the nails out of the walls and wash the light switches and base boards. It will feel like a major accomplishment but only take a little bit of time. I still have the bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, windows, blinds, light fixtures, and the outside, which is now completely covered in a good six inches of snow!
Tomorrow I promise to find something to talk about that does not involve sickness, stress or cleaning the house!
I Think I May Have A Screw Loose
-
I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...
