Just a quick hello!
I never made it to my desk yesterday.After dropping Susan at the shop, I headed home and set about cleaning the kitchen. While I still have less than 50% of my normal function in my right arm,the pain is manageable enough for me to push through and accomplish somethings. I methodically set about taking the kitchen apart,cleaning everything from top to bottom and then putting it all back together. I scheduled in a shopping trip, a trip to the bank and lunch with Max and Sara to give myself some breaks and not over do myself as I may have been guilty of from time to time in the past.At around 5:30, as I waited for the floor to dry so that I could do a final mop with the wood preservative, I checked in with the shop. They had just finished bathing the last dog and he was on the grooming table about to get his haircut. I did some quick calculating and realized that, this was going to be a long day. I offered to come over and help Becca clean while Susan finished grooming Bam Bam a wheaton terrier rescue who was long overdue for a grooming.
My offer was quickly and graciously accepted . I grabbed my water bottle and made my way to the shop.
Just before 8, Bam Bam and his happy owners said their goodbyes. I sent Susan and Becca home and stuck around to finish vacuuming. I had previously wiped down the walls in all of the kennels, cleaned and disinfected the kennel liner trays and mats and wiped down the walls in the grooming area.
By 8:30, I was pulling up the driveway content in the knowledge that the shop was ready for business when they reopen on Tuesday morning.
Today, the family room, dining room and bedroom are on the agenda. I had offered to do the bathroom yesterday and Susan cut me off. (She is very territorial about cleaning the bathroom!).
As pleased as I was knowing that the shop was spic and span, it occurred to me that it has been a while since we wet mopped the entire place. Depending on a) how long the house work takes and b) just how much energy have left, I may take a run back to the shop for a mopping. We'll see how the day goes.
I just wanted to grab these few quiet minutes and check in with you and say hello.
My days just seem incomplete when I don't.
Have an awesome day today!
I know I will!
Shavua Tov!
