Power Washing

Good Day, I hope that your doing well considering the circumstances. Today was supermarket shopping day. I went at 9a as I slept in and just took my time, I mean what’s the rush? Things seemed under control and there was plenty of people. I got what I needed and got out fast. I saw that milk was low so I ducked over there to grab what I needed. Finally, frozen pizzas are back in stock. I can have my Sausage & Pepperoni. I got two of those since they seem to be rare these days.

I came home and unloaded the groceries. I was tired but figured why not get started with the power washing. So that is what I did. I am truly amazed at how different things look now. I need to do the entire deck there is plenty of dirt and muck out there. Bye bye to the green mold and scum that was on the house. Truly a purchase that was worth every penny. I didn’t do any damage but found that my dryer vent needs to be replaced. Something small could crawl in there and that wouldn’t be good. I will take that task on next weekend, a visit to a brick and mortar store. I am eager to do the front of the house. I found a baseball on the side of the house. Not sure why someone was playing baseball on the side of the house but thankfully there are no windows over there.

I went to open one of the windows in the front and unknowingly unleashed an ant colony. I had to grab some spray and wipes to get them killed off. When I vacuumed later in the afternoon, I got more of them and believe they are gone now.

I spent more time outdoors today than I have in a very long time and it really felt good. I was away from everything electronic. Just me & nature. I can tell you that I won’t feel well in the morning. Lots of bending and stooping. Part of the hand rail of the deck that my partner designed, had fallen apart so I had to fix that, just needed a screw driver.

I came in and took care of vacuuming. I had to unplug the Febreze air fresheners that I bought the smell was a little overwhelming. I thought they were set on low but they were actually on medium. I got a small spaces air freshener for my bedroom in the same scent and it doesn’t have any adjustment, so I moved it to the hall closer to the litter box. I’m not big on fragrance and figured that Febreze would be a little different than every other air freshener but that’s not the case. They do smell good but I’ll bet you it’s nothing like the real Hawaii.

It’s nice to be able to put on short sleeves. I normally wash my shirts before I put them on but they have only been hanging in the closet and they were clean when I put them away so this year I am just grabbing and going.

I am so far behind on laundry in general but really just want to kick back and relax before tomorrow comes calling. I kind of wish that I had left my day off in place so I could escape for one additional day and that would give me the needed time to catch up on laundry. I know I can do laundry and work. I mean the machines do all of the work, thankfully. I couldn’t imagine having to hand wash clothes.

Got in some time with Marv and Gator. Looked through the email pile and in reviewing the obituaries found out that a relative died on Friday. He was 79 and I don’t know if it’s related to the COVID outbreak or if it was something else. Since I am not in communication with my brother I’ll probably never know, but that’s okay. There is no funeral the obituary said that a celebration of life would be held at a later date. Given the whole COVID thing I can only imagine that funerals are modified and that people in general aren’t welcome, let alone the family. That’s horrible I mean the funeral is for the living not for the dead.

Anyways on to my evening and surfing the web for a little bit. Then it will be time to figure out what is for dinner. I hate playing that game. I hope you had a great day and got a chance to get outside (provided the weather was nice in your part of the world) Take care.
