Cleaning Rod's house

 

Monday

I got up before 7:30, having woken up early with RLS. So at least I slept most of the night. I went through my morning list. No milk or eggs were delivered. I watered the plants that belong outdoors.

At 9:30 I went to Rod's house to clean. The dog kept whining. I let it outside, but it was windy out and it whined to come back in. It kept wanting to follow me around the house, so I barricaded it into the den. That worked for awhile, then it would push the chairs and come out. So I had to put it back in the cage.

I cleaned the kitchen and the microfiber couch. I dusted. Dale came over before noon to feed the dog and play with it a bit. Then he went back to work. I went home for lunch.

When I came back at 2:30, I got a text from Isadora saying she could not come clean the bathrooms because she had to stay home with her dog. So I soaped up the tubs and sprayed the toilets and put toilet cleaner in the bowls. I cleaned surfaces that were covered in toiletries. Then I cleaned the toilets and vacuumed and mopped the main floors and the bathroom floors.

At 5, I moved all my cleaning stuff to the garage, then to my car. I drove home. I read e-mail for awhile and ate cheese squares. I picked some hymns for Sunday. Chris came home from work. He talked about someone who came to treat the gophers.

I took my good trombone and some yogurt to the chapel. I was so tired I could barely walk. I noticed all the lights were on, so I turned off the ones we don't need for band. Caleb and Jenni and I got started on hymns. Then Keli arrived so we did them again. Then we proceeded to the Broadway book. Elizabeth joined when she got home from work. As we played through songs, we all decided that she on her violin made the best soloist for Adele Vice. At 7, I called it quits. Everyone packed up and left. I had more to do, and then I left too.

I went home, and laid down. Chris put supper in the toaster oven. Later I got up to eat it. I read e-mail and messages. I worked on my blog and made tea. We watched an episode of Criminal Minds. Chris went to bed, and later so did I.
