It’s the day the house cleaner comes, so apparently the bug hit me and I decided to do a bunch of random little projects around the house. It’s supposed to get below freezing here early next week for the first time this season, so I knew I needed to switch off the outside faucets, which also entailed (finally) cleaning the sliding glass doors on the back of the ground floor. They get splashed with dirt when it rains, so are perpetually slightly smudged towards the bottom. Cleaned those up, got the water shut off. Then I decided to straighten up a box of winter accessories we keep on the front hall table that had gotten clogged up with a mishmash of junk over several years (soooooo many useless early covid masks), mainly because I wanted to relocate some of the scarves I’ve knit lately down there. Found three gloves missing mates.
For some reason I decided to clean out the glove box in the car (it made sense at the time, I think). Discarded some extra materials from Mini, pared down to just the current insurance and registration info, found out the back seats supposedly can slide forward and backwards (we’ve only had the car since 2017, after all, and never needed that feature). Reorganized some big scented candles that were in multiple places in the garage and kitchen.
And then I was mentally done so I went out to lunch to get away from more straightening up. I think I blame work for cancelling my one meeting this morning, a thrice weekly check-in, which left me feeling antsy and in need of a project to put things back in order, since I can’t control what those idiots in Congress do.
