The public areas of the house are actually quite impressively clean and stink-free now. Let’s see how long that’ll last.
It’s muggy today. Lots of water in the air. Which is very happy-making for the drought sufferers but not very good for people who depend on an evaporative cooler to keep their house cooled off. Especially when they’ve been steam cleaning carpets. Blergh.
Sounds like you had exactly the same 4th as I did, except I went ape cleaning because I found a roach. Ew.
I hope you enjoyed your 4th apart from all the cleaning!
My dad is coming to town tomorrow, so that schedule sounds very familiar. I’m fighting against three dogs worth of hair and, um, fragrance.
Chris’ relatives came over for a bbq on the fourth. For once, I was the one stressed out about getting things clean, and Chris didn’t care. That must have been a nice change for him. Not so much for me.
Wow! I am amazed at your fortitude. You really accomplished a good deal.
yuk. We pulled weeds too! But the entire backyar isn’t landscaped, so we still have at least 2 weeks of work to do of weed pulling.
CONGRATS! Sounds like that was a load of work. Go check Knit n Tonic’s site. I think we need a Let Boys Knit button.
