A Short Break

I am taking a short coffee break. Although the coffee is from 7 am it still is hot and anyway, it is nice to sit.  I sorta got into the mood to do a bit of spring cleaning. Who ever REALLY gets into the mood for any length of time but a couple hours of work makes you feel like you did something. Or did it?

I started upstairs with the bathroom and removed everything, washed the walls, the floor, the toilet and tub and threw my mats into the wash. Next, as I was downstairs putting my mats into the washer, I decided the downstairs bathroom could use a bit of attention as well. So....I pulled out everthing from in there and rearranged all the towels, swept, washed the floors and walls, the toilet and sink and started on the shower stall. That's a big job and awkward too. Anyway, got that all done and noticed the fan (which I had turned on to hopefully cool myself down a bit) was a bit on the dusty side. So.. I took on the challenge (in my mind) of removing it and cleaning it up. Everything was going smoothly until I tried to reassemble things. The screws that came up of the ceiling were not as cooperative on the way back in. They fooled me into thinking they were attached and when I removed my hand, it fell out. Oops. thankfully, nothing broke as I caught the cover as the screws went one way and the cover the other. Screws don't break but my plastic fan cover likely would have IF it hit the floor!

Well, I thought that might be a good job for my hubby. He's good at crossword puzzles so maybe he can figure this one out too!  Right now, he is outside trying to replace the tail light on our tent trailer which we just brought home last night from storage. He was able to find another light at Princess Auto (albeit a lot smaller) but at least it 'might' work (at this point in time).

Well, my coffee is getting cold. Better get back to work. Spring cleaning for me usually drags itself into summer.

Do you think people do the kind of spring cleaning we saw our moms do? I usually headed for the basement wanting to be invisible when cupboards and closets were emptied and walls were washed! Apparently I never bought into this spring pastime!
