What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
You did a great job. It needed to be done too. I guess it's true about the whole spring cleaning mentality. We definitely need to tackle that basement and possibly put an air cleaner down there as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah it did. Maybe it was an attack of spring cleaning. Ugh, that basement is ridiculous. I just want to shake it out and start over sometimes.
DeleteRight now I have a wicked urge to clean and it's because I can't!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a walking boot with crutches so I'm kind of SOL until I can just use one crutch. I can still do some stuff like dust and wash my sinks/counters. But vacuuming and cleaning my entire shower won't happen for a bit =/
Aww man! I hope you heal up soon. Maybe if you trust a cleaning service, you could supervise while they do the deep cleaning for you?
DeleteYeah definitely not. Too frugal for that. Especially since who knows how much this broken leg bill is going to be, ugh.
DeleteHere's another article for you:

DeleteSometimes I do wake up with the urge to clean, I usually go back to bed until it passes. Actually the urge usually strikes me when I should be doing something else that I want to do even less.
ReplyDeleteLOL...maybe I should've just laid back down! :-)
DeleteI wish. I have a real hard time getting motivated to do any cleaning unless company is coming! But once I get started, I go like gangbusters.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much the way I am too, I need a reason which isn't good. I wish I went like gangbusters when I start. I do it begrudgingly.
DeleteI wish the spring cleaning bug would catch me!!!! I'm sure my husband wishes that too. LOL.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it didn't bite me again today, the place could still use some work. Beh.
DeleteI did that kind of cleaning the weekend before last. I tackled the bathroom, bedroom with all the linens, and the kitchen were I packed up a bunch of dishes to give to Salvation Army and purged a bunch of stuff I just don't use. My linen closet is how it should be now and all I have left there is to pitch a bunch of lotions I don't use. I love when I get in those moods because I'm mentally in the mood to get rid of stuff that normally I debate over like a lunatic. Now I have a couple of closets to tackle. I think I'm finally ready to get rid of the baby stuff I've had stuffed in there for over a decade. I took a small step a couple of months ago by giving away a stuffed animal and books from the theme I would have gone with to a friend of ours. I did ok with that, so I think getting rid of the other stuff won't be as hard. I tried to do it last year and couldn't do it. But I think I'm much closer to being ready now. And it'll completely open up the closet so I'll actually have some room! LOL
