The son-in-law contract

Monday

It was almost 9 when I got up. I got ready for the day. I e-mailed Emily about having a meeting at the swap shop. I texted Anca and Summer. I also texted John about helping me clean and he said he needed more time.

I put the carpet cleaner in my car. I went to 212 to scrub the toilet and tub. But the ring did not come completely off. Then I went to 107 to work in the kitchen. John called when he was ready. I met him in the parking lot and he carried the carpet cleaner up to 212. While I filled the tank with water, he moved all the furniture to one side of the room. I started shampooing. But what was under the bed was really dusty, so I asked him to go to 107 and get the vacuum. I continued to shampoo, then vacuumed the rectangle under the bed. He moved the furniture to the other side of the room and I shampooed again and he put it all back. When I was finished with the shampooer, he carried it and the vacuum over to 107. I thanked him and promised to pay him. He said moving furniture came under the son-in-law contract. He left. I spread more ammonia on the greasy wall behind the stove and locked up.

I went home for lunch. I made fiber gel, but without the psyllium husk since it ran out and I can't find the backup bag. But it had all the other amendments in it. I figured out my time for each apartment this morning. I jotted notes for my blog.

I went to 107 for an hour, then as I was heading to 212, the lady next door stopped to ask me about cleaning. We talked for 40 minutes and she said she knew someone who could provide me with a dozen eggs from their farm. I went to 212 and finished up in 10 minutes, bringing all the leftover cleaning supplies with me. Some I put in my car, but the mop I carried to 107. I cleaned windows and furniture for another half an hour.

I stopped by Housing to schedule an inspection for 212. Then I went home. I sat in my car as Retreat played. Then I came in, bringing the mail with me. I drank the remaining fiber gel. I picked a hymn for next Sunday. I jotted notes for my blog and added to my cleaning times. I made a copy of Saints go Marching In for Keli.

I ate supper, then went to band. I gave the robes to Keli. She tried one on Bryson and proclaimed it good. We played through three hymns and some Broadway tunes and then Saints go Marching In.

I went home. I listened to presentations on dementia. I posted to blog and made tea. We watched one episode of Hamish MacBeth. Later Chris went to bed. I stayed up to watch more presentations on dementia, but it went too late. So I left the window open for tomorrow, and I went to bed.
