Coffee Break

So far, so good. I have finished washing the kitchen and back door windows. It is a lot more work than what was just said. For short ME, it means I need a stool to take out all the windows which are of course over the kitchen sink. These are not small windows either. They are BIG. So that took me an hour and a half. To take out... wash... wipe... and then ... put them all back in again (in order). How many times have I tried to put them back in backwards. Too many to mention. The back door is another story. We have the bar across it for easy exits - just push and it opens. However, that bar is right across where I need to get my little fingers to clip it out of its pocket. Yes, I end up always with cuts and gouges to my fingers. It's such fun being a housekeeper! Next come the dining room windows. At least there is not a kitchen counter obstacle in front of me. These are just tall and narrow windows. Still heavy. The bedroom ones with the bunkbeds half covering them are the challenge for the day! I might not get to them just yet.

It is very nice though to sit at my kitchen counter and look out the window ... the CLEAN window. Almost seems like there is NO window in there now. Just how long they will stay that clean is another story. As nice as it seems out there, and having a covering over our deck, the wind still blows up the dust (from who knows where) and gently lays it on my windows. Oh well, not to worry about that right now. I will just enjoy the clear view while I have it! One last sip of my morning coffee and back to work.
