A Pain In My Middle Size Butt

Tweet

I went to work this afternoon, the temps really was not cooler but I can`t wait for the temperatures to get lower to get this house ready, however, I did open all the doors and I had 2 fans with me. Tony didn`t feel like helping with the window and my sister just got back from the doctor so I put that project aside, I have plywood over the window. I had stopped and bought 2 new blinds, the one for the picture window and one for the small side window, those were planned. Now, these are the new no hanging stings to raise and lower the blinds, different size top so you cannot reuse the "pain in the butt to get up holders" meaning I had to take the drill and get those screws out and put in the new ones that are not plastic little boxes but metal thingies that the blinds "click" into and they are no less a pain in the butt! I am trying to put the screws in with the bracket bouncing around because holding a screw to get the bit into the screw to drill, anyone who has ever used a cordless drill up above their heads knows how heavy they are..... Serious pain in my butt! I got them up without cussing to much. Then I had to mop again, I am not sure the cleaning lady I hired didn`t use a soured mop, the place stunk! Th other day when I drove the truck I grabbed that mop and cleaned it good here at home. I took 4 gallons of water with me and fabuloso cleaner, green apple. I used one gallon and a generous amount of cleaner for the first 2 floors, dumped and used another gallon to clean the mop, repeated again. The last floor was the laundry room, the room that I had not cleaned yet because its outside by the garage, but the garage is now closed in and a large room, the floor is cement in there so I took a broom and the cleaner and scrubbed that floor, then mopped it clean.... well round one. I will mop this house till the rinse water is clear before handing the keys to the new tenant. I gathered all the trash and put the can to the road for pick up Monday. Outside I scrubbed the front porch and swept piles of grass away from the garage door. I loaded all the empty jugs and my tools in the car. I didn`t get a lot accomplished at the rental but what I did is better than nothing. I sure hope that it smells better. How was your Saturday?
