And the List Goes On and On

Spring is in the air.  Yes, it’s in the air alright!  Pollen, dust, flakes of whatever swirling around.  Don’t take a deep breath, but do breathe.

I’ve been doing spring cleaning, stirring up all that inside stuff.  Dust bunnies, hidden in so many corners.  Isn’t there something they can be used for, you know, with the need to recycle and all?  Oh, well.

Vacuuming and shampooing the carpet is a back breaker but it’s cheaper to have my back break than it is to hire a service.  Besides (I tell myself) I need the exercise.

Deep into cleaning a room, I get ideas about rearranging furniture.  I used to enjoy trying different arrangements, then I moved on to measuring and drawing possibilities to think over and decide on one.  Now I just think about it.  Too much difficulty moving furniture.

Finding little things to fix as I go along extends the housework chores.  A loose folding door, a piece of chipped wood on a chair.  Usually I fix it on the spot or make a list.  There are still things on my list from last year, but it’s there to remind me.

I wish I could find loose change or something of value.  Well, yes I do find things of value under the fridge or chairs: the cats’ toys!  I bet they were looking for that for who knows how long.  Yet when I toss them to my feline friends they pretty much ignore it.  I know they’re thinking, “been there, done that.”  Oh, well.

There is always something to do when keeping a house.  Not just inside but outside too.  Weeds need pulled, grass needs cut.  Gutters need cleaned.  I’ll get to it after a day or two.  After all, it’s on my list.     Theresa M
