Ugh. I am not crazy about it, but it compels me...fall cleaning. Who invented this? Today I tackled windows and curtains..and yes, they needed it. It felt like a day filled with laundry.
The windows were not open as much as I would have preferred this past summer. I flushed what seemed like enough soil to plant a garden off of my window sills today. Being on a lower level then I am used to means that dust and dirt from the wind and from mowing moved into and settled onto my window sills.
If I want the clean and clear breezes of Autumn without the extras, it meant dousing the sills. The curtains and I traveled to a local laundromat to spend a small fortune washing. (at least it was faster and more thorough than the facilities on the premises.) You can bet..when I move from here into a house..I will do everything in my power to ensure that the laundry machines are in the house. I don't know how, but they will be.
I made a mistake in not doing all of the laundry at the local mat. I waited (due to cost) to do the regular clothes at home..then spent the evening cursing out the twit who never emptied their dryers. I did 3 drys in one machine,because the other machines sat with clothes in them.
Dust and Vac tomorrow. I did also do some work on the stove today. I don't cook near as often as I used to in my previous life, but you would not know it by how often the stove needs tidying. Maybe it's the small size of the place, but grime is more obvious to me.
My fall plants are doing well, I have had several compliments from neighbors. How quickly this year has come and gone. You better believe it, time does seems to go faster as the years float by. Summers used to last forever when I was a child. The clock moves forward faster these days.
I am hoping to spend some time with family this coming holiday season. Lol..it seems like yesterday that Thanksgiving was spent alone and Christmas was spent at work. Does anyone know a way to slow this train down?
