Housecleaning weekend

I said on Friday that I’d follow up with a list of what I accomplished during what I started calling housecleaning weekend. Here we go!

a shiny squirrel statue that lives next to the stove in our kitchen. I'm wiping the grease off of it
I even bathed the kitchen counter squirrel.

Achieved:

  • Cleaned ice machine
  • Cleaned Keurig
  • Cleaned Brita pitcher & replaced the filter
  • Cleaned kitchen counters & table
  • Cleaned stove surface
  • Cleaned sink
  • Wiped appliances
  • Steam mopped floor
  • Cleaned en suite bathroom
  • Washed mattress pad, bedspread, sheets; replaced all
  • Organized, dusted, cleaned both dressers and nightstand
  • Dusted headboard
  • Removed unused charging cords
  • Vacuumed bedroom & bathroom
  • Cleaned bedroom and bathroom windows
  • Mounted a command hook in the bathroom for my hair towel
  • Wiped Murphy’s rubbing spots from the hallway wall (if you have a dog you get this)
  • Grocery shopping
  • Mowed/weedwhacked the back lawn
  • Re-staked the overgrown tomato plants

Did not achieve:

  • Dusting the ceiling fan, I forgot until the very end of cleaning the bedroom and was not about to accidentally sweep dust on to the bed after doing all of the above
  • Picking up a prescription for myself; forgot this as well

I deem this weekend a success.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
