Default Re: Getting stuff done during lockdown challenge!

Today I did the Rug Doctor. Two staircases and 3 area rugs (one small, 2 large). And I decided it is the last time. Budgeting for professional carpet cleaning from now on.

This is such a tough job! For some unknown reason this is one of the chores that my husband does every few months. He doesn't do any other house chores, but he does this!

A professional cleaning is so nice. I'm thinking of having someone clean my tile with a machine. It's so bad.

Today I'm meeting a good friend for coffee.

I would like to get these things done:

Clean up the backyard
Make cold brew coffee
Read my book
Protest my property taxes online

Doing the stairs just made me so mad. I don't like the installed carpet on the stairs, but it's so far down on the list. It's not a priority to replace it. But it needed to be cleaned and it had to be done with this attachment so it's on hands and knees, and blech. I just hate doing it. Plus I know the pros extract so much more liquid with their truck mounted machine so the carpets get cleaner and dry faster.

Today I vacuumed an undisclosed amount of dust from the chandelier in the kitchen. And removed the red ribbon I tied on it in December.

Default Getting stuff done during lockdown challenge!

Well the dance floor is as done as it’s going to get except for I need to hang the picture lower and now get rid of all the junk that for pushed to the edges lol. The white thing hanging on the wall is her practice sleeves.

That is impressive!

Today I cleaned and cleaned. I'm wiped out. I swept, vacuumed, dusted, cleaned bathrooms, picked up stuff, plus normal dishes, counters, tables, and laundry.

It's supposed to be rainy for a whole week so I'm hoping I feel inspired to tackle more inside jobs.

Default Re: Getting stuff done during lockdown challenge!

My summer classes don't start until June 1st, but one of them has opened up so I'm getting started on that.
After 2 years I'm totally burnt out on making sure my dad can eat our dinners (he won't wear his dentures). My husband is gone for 7 months so I'm going to use this as an opportunity to simplify dinners. I've ordered several 2 compartment freezable/microwavable containers so I can make and freeze a bunch of dinners for my dad. The kids are on board with eating "fancy salads" this summer.
We have a sheep/goat pen next to our garden area. They aren't in there 24/7, but walk there for shade, water, and hay in the winter. I've neglected mucking it out and it looks fine and dry on the surface but if you dig a fork into it...it's wet soggy ammonia gross anyway- I threw a bunch of the gross into the garden corner and started moving over the old compost pile over and adding weeds and grass. i dug dirt out to start filling in low spots in the pen. That was a pretty good workout!
Planted more seeds in the garden.
Oh! Made Larabars with the kids and they taste fantastic!
Supposed to rain Mon-Wed, so will focus on cleaning, decluttering, organizing, freezing meals, etc next week.

Woke up with a monster headache. Every single time I do more than a couple hours of hard work outside I get a bad headache the next day. It wasn’t even that hot yesterday.
