Nana's are Beautiful
Today's high hit 90.
While that's hot any way you care to look at it, it's even hotter when it was't just a couple days ago we were in the 50's.
Well I was determined that come what may, I was tackling the rest of the spring cleaning. What I worked so hard on before......had been nearly completely undone. I can't stand looking at it any more. I don't care what my physical condition....or anything else, this has GOT to get done!
So.....well yesterday was 92 degrees. No AC. Yeah. It wasn't even sort of cool enough upstairs to go to sleep until 4am. And notice I said "sort of". ugh I went to sleep around 6am.......maybe 7am. I was up again by 10am because low and behold it was already growing warm upstairs.
I get up, come down and turn on the fans, put the dogs out, make my coffee and sweat while drinking it. Fun.
And I keep looking at the mess. It actually got a little worse because learning to coupon......plus building a stockpile....or rather adding to the one I already had.....of course added to clutter and trash.
One cup of coffee later and I'm tackling it. I have to do it bit by bit......and I'm a tad Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) about cleaning so I have to be careful to first just get it picked up and the trash out of the way........don't stop and scrub.......or it takes me ten times as long. A half hour later I had found my kitchen table and the kitchen floor again. The males in my house evidently believe if the trash can is full simply stick the trash on the nearest available surface. grrr At least they'll put it into walmart bags, but still......the outside trash cans are right outside the kitchen door for pete's sake.
All this time I"m dripping sweat. Soooo much fun.
Well husband wakes up about noon (don't ask me how he stayed upstairs that long) and sees me cleaning. This is his cue to MOVE. He had better not dare to SIT while I'm cleaning. So he does the livingroom.......
And suddenly decides it's hot enough to put in the AC units. lol So he puts the one in the bedroom. (thank heaven) And puts the other small unit into the livingroom. But the unit for the main part of the house is too big for him to do alone......and Travis is unconcious due to staying up all night as it's the only time he can use his computer in this heat. I tell husband not to worry about it, I could survive until Travis got up for supper. The livingroom has a door......so he went ahead and turned that unit on.
I kept right on cleaning. I tackled the pantry next. It needed shelves washed down and the whole stockpile in there needed reorganized to fit everything.......and so I can find what I need. My kitchen table filled up again. lol And using awesome I tackled the shelves ect, then organized it. I now even have a free shelf and room to add to another shelf. I have stuff to add to it too.....I haven't gotten that far yet. lol And while doing this I was also doing laundry and scrubbing counters and appliances.
Next thing I knew it was 6pm and time for supper. I trotted upstairs, woke Travis, told him in order to eat he had to stay awake, then help by carrying in the main AC unit.
At least the livingroom was cool enough we could eat in there. Heat makes me lose my appetite......if I'm not careful during the summer I can go days without eating without realizing it.
Did the dishes. Still tackling laundry. But now I am pooped. Doesn't really look like I did all that much.....unless you saw it before. And didn't seem like I did that much in comparison to what I can normally do in the same amount of time. But I think the heat had something to do with that.
Back at it tomorrow. And since the AC is in and working it should go faster. I just can't believe that of all days for the cleaning bug to bite me was one of the hottest so far.
I still have to be careful to go at it in layers. Otherwise I get too distracted and go off on cleaning tangents and it takes forever. ugh
