Cleaning an apartment

 

Thursday

I got up at 8, thinking it was earlier. I started the morning list. I packed yogurt starter cups for Bible study. I didn't have notes, but I remembered the commentaries that I read. We took turns reading verses of Genesis chapter 27. Jacob and Esau were not identical twins and they were 77 at the time of the blessing. We discussed the chapter and other things as we thought of them.

Afterward, I went to Housing for a key to 206. I went home for yogurt, read in the sun, practiced, read by red light, made breakfast, ate while watching The Highwire. It was over too soon. A man called for a quote so we arranged to meet at 5. I put cleaning supplies in my car and went to 206 to clean. I got the toilet soaking, then went to Steve's apt to get his toilet soaking. Back at 206, I vacuumed and wiped furniture. Then I started at the end of the kitchen by cleaning cabinets, behind the stove, and the walls.

Almost 5, I left for the quote which was on the hill. I got there first and waited till he showed up. Then we toured the house. It looked fairly clean as empty houses go. But the shower was streaked with hard water. Since he is just moving to another house, I quoted him $400, and said I would return whatever I didn't need. We agreed on Tuesday.

I went by Michelle's house to bring the the trash bins and check on the cat. I went home and ate fiber gel. I read online. Chris came home with a pizza. There was nothing for me to eat except hardboiled eggs with toppings. After eating, I went out to water and to re-pot some plants. And annoy gophers. But none showed up. I worked on my blog. I was out of water but the AAFES water machine was broken so ….

I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. We cuddled on the couch. One thing led to another and we went to bed early. I woke up at 1 and did all the things I usually do just before bed. But then I couldn't get back to sleep.
