Housework

Today I woke up to the sunshine...the second day in a row now. :) I felt very ambitious and decided to get all of the laundry done as well as clean out our closet and dresser. Why is it that it is so hard to get rid of our ratty old t-shirts? I finally threw out the ones that we have just been hanging onto...you know the ones that you "might use camping", or "might need if we paint one of the rooms", or what if you happen to work out 20 days in a row and don't do laundry, then you might need those ratty old t-shirts. So I did it, I threw them out. I know I have mentioned it before, but I love to do laundry. Today was no exception. I had so much fun hanging up all of our clothes and getting them put into organized drawers.

I was able to get all of the laundry done by about 10am and decided to hop in the shower. As I was getting my hair wet I remembered that someone had told me it was easiest to clean the shower if you were already in there. Now, I may love to do laundry, but I HATE to clean bathrooms. I hate that as soon as you get them clean, they are guaranteed to get dirty again. It doesn't matter how careful you are brushing your teeth, you are going to get toothpaste flicks on you mirror. And the first time you use the sinks, you all of a sudden have a bunch of water spots again. UGH! However, I was still feeling ambitious so decided to hop out of the shower and get the cleaning supplies (very quickly because I was dripping water everywhere). I was feeling very proud of myself until I realized that I didn't have my contacts in and couldn't see what I was doing. Most of you know that I am practically blind without my contacts, but do you know how blind? I asked my eye doctor just recently what my prescription is based on the 20/20 thing, and he said that I am basically a 400/20. So even though I was in this little shower, I still couldn't see the soap scum. But I decided to try anyway. So I scrubbed and scrubbed and would just feel for the scum with my fingers. After giving myself a blister and the water was starting to get cold, I decided to finish washing up. I thought I had done a pretty good job until I got my contacts in and saw all of the streaks that I had missed. Blast! Now I had to clean the shower not once, but twice. I'm telling you, as soon as I am done nursing, I am getting lasic. On a side note, how does a blind person keep their bathroom clean? Just wondering. :)

Now that the shower had taken up so much time, I wasn't really in the mood to clean the rest of the bathrooms, so decided that I would cheat. I could kiss the person that invented clorox wipes. I hate to do bathrooms, but at least I have those trusty little wipes to help me. Although I do loath the bathroom cleaning, there are a few things that I do love about the chore. First, once they are clean, you know that if you happened to have a visitor and they happened to need to use the restroom, it would be clean. Second, I absolutely love the smell of windex (or in our case target brand glass cleaner). Finally, I don't know why, but for some reason I like to wear rubber gloves. I don't know if it is because I can brave any germ if I am wearing them or what, but I like 'em.

After all of that, the sun was still out so I decided to get some shopping done, and surprise Mike by visiting him at work. All in all it was a very successful day.
