Emergency Cleaning

 

Monday

I got up at 8. Chris was sleeping on the couch. I put in my VMIS hours. I did the usual morning stuff except playing trombone. I was about to play when my phone rang. A gentleman wanted someone to clean his house before he left. I dropped everything and ran over there to check it out. However my windshield was frosted over so I had to spray it with alcohol and wait a minute for it to melt.

When I got there, I told him that the standards were lower for residents than for cleaners. I looked around and somehow thought 6 hours would be enough. So he gave me cash and I called Jamie. I picked up cleaning supplies from 111. The two of us cleaned like mad till almost 1. Then I took my stuff and left as the inspectors showed up. We were not able to do everything in only 3 hours.

I went home and made breakfast. I read e-mail and messages. Then I took the Christmas music to the library and had Keli make copies for Elizabeth. Then I went to 83E to finish that up. I took my cleaning supplies back to 111 and worked on the toilet and tub for 30 minutes.

I went home to pick hymns, to practice and to eat supper. I read messages and looked at Cyber Monday sales. Then I went to the chapel for band. Few people came. We played through our hymns and then the Christmas program. It was hard to play with all my congestion. Afterward, Jennie gave me $120 in one's and five's. I gave her 20's from the cash this morning.

I went home and turned on the Christmas lights. I read messages and e-mail. I listened to the sleep track. I worked on my blog. I made tea and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then I woke up the old computer (took 20 minutes). I finished writing a bell part to Silent Night. Then I put it back to sleep and went to bed.
