My only ambition for Saturday is to do a deep spring cleaning of the apartment. I have been sweeping and vacuuming the floors throughout the apartment regularly but only mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors. However, I just realised that the cleaner I found in a cabinet when I first moved is also safe for the laminate flooring in the living room, bedrooms and hallways. Now all the floors are shining and smooth, whereas before there was always a residual “gritty” feeling no matter how much I swept and vacuumed. There’s also mildew/mold beginning to grow in some of the hard-to-reach spots of the sliding shower doors in the bathroom. Earlier in the week I had picked up some bathroom cleaner containing bleach and a long narrow scrubbing brush that took care of that in short order. It took a solid two hours to finish everything, which is much more do-able than cleaning an entire house.
As I’m winding down from cleaning, it’s time for my friend M’s weekly internet radio show featuring mostly hits from the 1980s. I had thrown out the idea to him of doing a special duets-only themed show and even compiled a list of a couple dozen songs that came to mind. To my surprise, he ended up doing the show and used almost all my song suggestions! I made a gin and tonic, sat down on the couch, put my feet up, and enjoyed the tunes. The internet radio station also has a chat room feature, so I logged into that as well and traded a few quips with other listeners. It made for a pleasant stay-at-home “happy hour.”
Until next time….
