Timelies all!

My folks are coming to visit next weekend, so we're starting to clean up here. This morning I vacuumed the kitchen, dining room and stairs to the top floor. Gary mopped the kitchen. The fun is going to be seeing how much I can get done in the next few days while Gary's away. (It all depends on how long it takes Mr. S to go to sleep.)

We take our bright spots we find them, Dana.

Between the one cat being aggressively snuggly and the positional vertigo deciding to come back, I am not getting shit done today.

I never mop. Swiffer WetJet or gtfo. And by "gtfo" I mean lie down on the couch.

I ripped out the old nasty carpet in my downstairs and replaced it with sheet vinyl with a hardwood pattern. I am so happy with it! Swiffer and Roomba take care of it, vacuuming not necessary. If I ever get sheet vinyl again, I'll spend a little more on it, but still I haven't regretted this choice for a minute. I pulled out the old cigarette-burned vinyl and put down vinyl plank flooring in the tiny kitchen and tiny bathroom, and that was a good choice too. Sure it was not high-quality, but no way am I putting down expensive floors in a townhouse I may someday be renting out.

In short: vinyl floors good, wall-to-wall carpets (probably) bad.

Say, y'all remember when we had a communal login/password to the New York Times and some other media? We should do that again. Anyone interested in pitching in a couple bucks to subscribe us to some newspapers and the like?

Mopping is the only thing I dislike more than vacuuming.

And I did them both today!

I am pretty sure I get an extra email address for my NYTs subscription. I could add a generic address or something.

I vacuumed and steam-mopped the kitchen today. We need to re-tile the kitchen floor in grey or something that doesn't show dirt the way the current white tile does. You can see every freaking atom of crud on a white tile floor.

I also mowed the lawn, went to Aldi and Meijer, did minor food prep for the week (hard-boiled eggs for breakfasts and cut up cheese cubes for lunches), did the dishes, made the bed, and meditated.

I want a beer after all that.

Oh, look at Teppy bucking for a seat on the Supreme Court.

I also went to Meijer! And got my nails did! And studied for my last needed teaching test which is on this Thursday! When my DH goes out of town, I get a lot done. He is off in Germany, driving around some new motorcycle..

I don't think I love beer enough to be a Supreme Court justice. (I mean, I thought I loved beer a lot, and then Blackout Brett came along and made me realize there's a whole other level of beer love I know nothing about, nor do I aspire to it.)
