Eating Dust

Work was horribly slow last night. No fun, no entertainment! Really I have no news to speak of. After all I was at work ~ I am not supposed to enjoy myself or have fun at work.

I just called the furniture store to get my “love sofa” fixed ~ again. These guys are a hoot! I told them that they could not tell me that they would be here in four hours and show up twenty minutes later. So he told me to call them when I am ready for them to come out.

I am not sure what has gotten into me today. I am a cleaning fool. Not just the normal vacuum, dust, sweep, and doing the dishes cleaning but deep cleaning. Walls and cupboard tops are clean as well as behind and the top my fridge ~ actually my fridge is clean on all sides, even though I puckered my linoleum by moving the fridge ~ bad Lucy! OMG ~ the tops of my cupboards were so dusty. See I have filth! Ick, ick, ick. I must remember that those need cleaning too.

I know that they need cleaning but I argue with myself over it.

“Get up there and clean the top of those cupboards.”

“No, I do not want to clean them. They are too dirty.”

“That is why you need to clean them.”

“That means that I have to climb on the counter tops.”

“That’s okay you can climb on the counter tops.”

“I might fall.”

“You would climb on the counter tops if you were looking for something.”

“I know but that is different.”

“How is that different?”

“Well, I might hurt my hip.”

“You are not going to hurt your hip!”

“I might.”

“Get up there and get those damn cupboards cleaned.”

“No.”
“Okay then don’t. Live in that filth.”

“I will!”

Today the sensible side of me won. I climbed on the counter tops and cleaned the tops of my cupboards. I thought only abandoned homes had that much dust. I had so much dust that I used the vacuum cleaner! That was no small feat because I had to hold the vacuum in one hand, the hose in the other, and balance myself on the counter top. I did set the vacuum down one time only to have it fall to the floor cracking the clip that the cord wraps around when not in use. It is a good thing that it is only cracked and did not completely break off.

So now that I have that job completed I have to put the stuff back up there. The stuff is clean too. When we moved in this house I told Dick that it was his responsibility to keep that stuff clean. A lot of good that did me! He has yet to even touch that stuff. Joe Camel went to the garage. I am sick of looking at those mugs! He can put a shelf up and display them out there. He has five boot mugs too ~ there used to be six but I accidentally broke one. He got it from a gal that he was cheating on me with. I am not going there! I have enough on my plate that I can not think about all the assorted affairs that he has had. But anyway, I broke that mug and burned the silk tie and silk shirt that she gave him.

Well, now that I have rested I need to get the other stuff put back in its place. Then I need to take shower (I promise to return it) for work.

No nappy for me today. I hope that I can make it through my shift without withering away. Haha!

I can not believe it! Today is the first really nice day that we have had in a very long time. I am listening to radio while I am cleaning. Tyler just came home from school and wants to sit inside and watch TV. No way! Go out and play! Ride your bike, jump on the trampoline, use your pogo stick, do something! If these kids think that they are going to sit inside all damn summer they are sadly mistaken. They have two days of school left!

I should shut off the music because good songs keep coming on that I want to listen to. So I am not taking a shower. Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore….I love Rod Stewart!

But I do have to get the vacuum and broom put away and get my greens back where they belong. They do not belong on my bathroom floor!

Have a great evening.
