Its amazing just how much vacuuming can help the house look clean. Today was to be a day of chores. It was more like a day of partial chores. There is so much to do and so much more I would rather do.
I managed to get the skimmer basket on the pool emptied, but not get the pool cleaned. I managed to get the fence repaired around the garden where two boards were completely off the fence and one whole section separated from the support. But I didn’t get the garden cleaned up. I also got the other fence tied to the tree in the back yard. I am guessing along with the snow while I was gone there was some serious wind and I have a lot of fence issues for next spring.
I managed to get the deck cushions stored for winter, the yard devoid of poo and the hummingbird feeders cleaned and filled. I did not get the walkways or driveway cleared nor did I get any of the dying vegetation cleared out or cut back.
In the house I managed to get the bedding cleaned and the bed remade but none of my other laundry done. I managed to get one of my plants re-potted but none of them watered. In fact I can see the watering can on the counter full and waiting…where its been for a few hours. I managed to get the kitchen swept and counters wiped down but just as I started to wipe down the refrigerator I got a call about a cupcake order and never got back to it. As for other housework I got the house vacuumed and just doing that it actually looks much better.
I did watch some football and spent a good deal of time looking for work. Applying for jobs and getting a couple leads from friends.
All in all I have lots left for during the week and next weekend and I already have two baking orders and plans on Saturday so it’s looking like I’ll be trying to shoehorn all of it into next Sunday.

You just never slow down, do ya? I’m exhausted just reading all that!
