Happy birthday, Meara!
I spent this afternoon babysitting a friend's toddler. She's a delightful kid. She played happily for a while, than asked for me to read her a book, then conked out for a nap until just about the time her mom got home. No tears, no whining.
It was called Boink N' Oink.
HMOG.
Or maybe in this case, MHOG. (sorry not sorry)
Ha!
-t, the bleach is good for maintenance, but maybe not any better than baking soda and vinegar.
Hey, just having something different to try was worthwhile. I secretly suspect that I'm going to have replace some pipes to really solve the problem, so whatever I can try before going down that road is good.
-t thanks for the percentage and the explanation - I don't know that I understand it but at least I know the formula for next time!
I think (hope) I might be PMSing: had a whopping total of two volunteers the other day, so decided to do simple projects, especially since I know the one guy has a bad back.
One of them killed one of my gourd vines, like, all the way down to the ground. Just an hour after I discovered that we had one birdhouse gourd that was about two feet long and texted the picture to the intern who built the arbor and planted the gourd seedlings.
I love my volunteers, and heavily rely on them, but, hey seus, when the numbers get low and I resort to projects more appropriate to small numbers, I remember why sometimes it's not worth it and mulching is the relatively safest task (and even that is fraught with danger).

Oh please, let this happen!
I have a lot of stuff I want and need to do this long weekend, so maybe it's time for a public to-do list! My grandmother and uncle/aunt will be staying in my apartment next week, so it's got to be clean.
- vacuum (including upstairs - my mother and I made a deal to trade mopping for vacuuming)
- clean bathroom
- dust all
- straighten bedroom
- laundry (including sheets)
- dishes + other kitchen
- work -- reviews + other
- beach
- long walk
- groceries (walk to TJ's?)
- pedicure
- hang mirror, etc.
OK, maybe that's it? I think one load of laundry this morning and deal with the kitchen will be a good start. Vacuum after visiting dad mid-day.
