A bit more to do today.

Actually, there is a ton more to do.  Today will only see two things, for sure, done.  I am a bit stiff and sore, though not because of cleaning.  The other day, after a long day up and little sleep the "night" before, I went in to sit in my chair.  When I am very tired I have a way of just dropping into my chair.  As I did so, I realized something was very wrong.  Sam was under me!  If I hadn't used everything from legs and arms to stop me, and right in that extremely short window of time between realizing she was under there and fully seating, I am pretty sure I would have killed or seriously hurt Sam.  (Oh Lord, that would have killed me.)  Using every muscle and all my will, in a micro-second, I halted my fall.  But I used, and tore, muscles I haven't used in a decade or simply didn't know I had or that could be hurt.  Muscles from between my ribs seemingly to of course my inner thighs burned like fire, but only for a few minutes.  I am surprised I didn't do some real damage.  Then all the pain was gone, until after my home cleaning workout yesterday.  Now it's all back, but in a much more muted manner.  Still, doesn't confront me none.  I can still work.  The thing is, I don't want to rush it and cause some other problems.

The air conditioner needs to go.  As well, the girls, while playing, fighting, or a bit of both, for the first time since I met them, knocked over one of the litter boxes.  They did that yesterday but I was too busy to muss with it.  So, that will be done today.  I will, technically, do one more thing... sweep the kitchen.  I would be sweeping part of it anyway, to sort out the litter pan debacle of '12.  But much like vacuuming, it seems a waste not to do the whole of the area while you are at it.  Oh, and I will finish off those dishes that have been sweetening in vinegar water.  I had almost forgotten those.  So... that is all I have planned for today.  Then again, there is always more to almost any job than just the stated.  Dishes, once set, must be dried, then put away.  The kitchen will have to be sorted a bit in order to sweep.  And the air conditioner will have to be bound in it's box, strapped, then stored somewhere.  Still, I might be able to get to more, but as I said, this will be enough, for today.

Absolutely wunderbar!  Yeah, I am getting to things.  I might have the kitchen done, the bathroom sorted, and my mothers bed freshened and put back together, linens-wise.  Oh, and a bit of shopping done too.  I hate having to do a big grocery shopping trip when she is here.  Hmm, I need to get on her though, she promised a list of ingredients she wanted me to have on hand.  I have some of it, but...  Doing my part, folks, for my part anyway.

Good day.  Oh, and remember to be thankful to God.  Complain as you like, if you have the voice to complain, you have the life to lead and the wherewithal to be unhappy about some things.  Many do not.
