joyce

The house has gotten really groddy over the last 6 months or so (no, I'm not just being modest; I'm hesitant to let anyone else who doesn't live here into it, with the exception of my mother), so Operation Clean the Damn House has commenced.

Yesterday's progress: cleaned off the left hand side of the kitchen counter; set up the toaster oven.

Today's progres:

• cleaned the toilet and bathroom sink
  
• scrubbed the stove, including taking off the burners and scrubbing the drip pans
  
• changed the cat box
  
• scrubbed the right hand side of the kitchen counter
  
• took out the bathroom trash, and the trash from my side of the office and Val's office trash can
  
• cleaned out the corner of the central hallway that had started to accumulate too much crap (including, I'm pretty sure, Jimmy Hoffa)
  
• ran a load of laundry from the accumulation
  
• did some straightening on my desk
  
• boxed up a bunch of receipts until they can be shredded
  
• found somewhere to keep my shoes (other than all over the living room floor)
  

Wheee.

For the record, spoonbread is just as good with hemp milk as with cow's milk. Add some Earth Balance and sugar and cinammon to your portion. Om nom noms.
