Housekeeping Notes - 12/7/18


This week, in housekeeping news:
  • Managed to find and get front door Christmas wreath up!
  • Tidied up yard a bit
  • Gardeners built raised beds in the back yard!
  • Washed dog blankets!
  • Washed one load of my clothes, need to do more - washer keeps refusing to drain so we have to play with it every. single. time.
  • Cleaned master shower stall and also wiped down sink and counter
  • Managed to keep kitchen reasonably clean in terms of dishes and pots and pans.  Mail and clutter are a different issue.
  • Moved the dog crate to the mud room which is a good move.
  • Meant to do a vacuuming today but I think V must have it down in the basement, so I never bothered to haul it back up here.  Must do before Sunday!
  • Cleaned out fridge from Thanksgiving and got compost, recycling and trash out to the curb on the correct night!
  • Got S and B to go shopping for the Giving Tree for me.  It's wonderful having kids who can drive!
  • Baked enough chicken for 16 at homeless shelter and took over to church, early Thursday a.m.
  • I have to admit I only cooked dinner M, W, Th.  And tonight we are doing take out.
  • The heat went off in the night.  Was quite chilly.  Repair guy finally came out at 4 p.m. today and fixed it.  Same problem as last time.  What's up with that?
  • Bought a couple of presents on line, but I still need to do a lot.
  • Bought lots of frozen latkes and apple sauce for when in laws come over on Sunday - last day of Hanukkah.
For my classic spin reading challenge (deadline 1/31/19), The History of the Ancient World, I'm on page 51/777.  Better get hopping!
