Big day today. Lots of things planned. The short list: laundry, clean bathroom, dust, vacuum, clean kitchen, take out garbage and recycling, organize kitchen counter(s), clean up kitchen table, wipe off corner hutch and bookshelves, straighten up my room, make my bed, put my clothes away, make nachos, make chicken wings, and WATCH FOOTBALL! WOOO.
More later...shoprite run now...
before i go, i'm going to reach out to my peeps today and schedule in some random fun. it's gonna be great!
So. I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is that the hot water heater keeps tripping the breaker and now it smells like something is burning around the hot water heater and it's dripping an unpleasant grayish liquid. Not good. But, ther's a spider who lives on the upper left corner of my kitchen window and I vacuum up his web every weekend, but I didn't get to it yet this weekend and I was thinking before what an annoying fly that's buzzing around the window but the spider don't you know. caught the fly. he's working at securing its wings so that he can't fly away and mess up the web. They're both working so ferociously. The spider to wrap up the fly's wings and the fly to escape. The spider won. I think the fly ran out of energy. It looks like there's one final stitch effort being played by the fly--he's moving his front legs in front of him like a typical cat fight, but the spider is working to bind those together as well. P.s. the heating element went bad in the hot water heater. So, water is being shut off. No laundry being done any time soon. No nothing that requires any water whatsoever. Oy vey. Let me grab my antibacterial cream. Can't wash my hands. Also, Frank was walking past a little end table that had my plant infirmary on it and I heard a crash from upstairs. Knocked it clean. Water and dirt everywhere. When it rains it pours, ppl. So, an amended short version of my to-do list from before: laundry, clean bathroom, dust, vacuum, clean kitchen, take out garbage and recycling, organize kitchen counter(s), clean up kitchen table, wipe off corner hutch and bookshelves, straighten up my room, make my bed, put my clothes away (from last week), make nachos, make chicken wings, and WATCH FOOTBALL! WOOO
As I was typing I heard frank saying something from downstairs and at first I thought he was just talking to pete, but, he was hollering for assistance because the drain for the water that stays in the hot water heater tank was apparently clogged because it was spraying everywhere. So then it was grabbing two buckets and running outside to dump them. We really do need a slop sink down there. Anyway it made a mess. So my antibacterial cream was traded for 'scrubs in a bucket'. It smells a lot like gritty orange goop in towelette form. The grime is too grimey for antibacterial cream. And then I left the sliding glass door open and just closed the screen and Pete tried to push his way out. Knocking the screen off its tracks. Brat. I went to fix my hair and noticed that I have a bit of grime on my elbow. So that's the kind of Sunday it's going to be. Now I must vacuum. But first an update on the spider and the fly: The fly is covered in web-age. Did you ever hear the one about the lady who swallowed the spider?...
I think out of all of that I was quite happy that you haven't vacuumed up the spider ever and allowed it to remain. Seriously. What helpful creatures and everyone is scared of them?
ReplyDeleteSpiders should keep themselves outside if they want to live around me.
ReplyDeleteHope your water will be running soon.
Otherwise make sure you scrub that antibacterial stuff well under those armpits
