Lightbulb Chain Reaction

 A light in the bathroom burned out so I got out the ladder and went to change it which started a chain reaction.

The light bulbs were SO dusty. I took all the bulbs out to clean them off. Then a wiped down the fixture itself. While I am up there on the ladder I notice that the walls really need a good wiping down so I went to get some rags and a bucket.

By the time I was finished I had scrubbed the sink, shower, tub and toilet. I even took the electrical plates off and cleaned them. I took an old toothbrush to the toilet and then I got down on hands and knees with a scrub brush and worked on the floor and baseboards.

My bathroom sparkles and it smells good, too, but I am tired and my back is a bit achy.

I hope no more lightbulbs burn out!

    LOL, you clean the way I do. It's always the smallest thing that causes the major cleaning.

    Take care, stay well!

    Oh my, yes. You will need to close your eyes for a while to avoid any more chain reactions, at least until you recover from this one.

    Oooh, now I am afraid I may have to change a light bulb. Something like that really sets the ball rolling doesn't it?

    One thing does follow the other, doesn't it... sometimes I get so far off track that I forget what the original plan was. Then I will walk by some half done project and say, "oh yeah, I was doing that."

    You took the electrical plates off? You are something special!

    I would have found an excuse to stop cleaning and ask the housekeeper to do it when she comes tomorrow. I feel guilty about even mentioning it.

    I started a comment and it blinked and vanished? I'm sorry if it was sent. Anyhoo...My master bathroom light on my side just blew out one bulb if you're not too busy...

    I hate when that happens. I think I get caught up like that when I'm decluttering.

    Oh my! You sure do have a lot of energy. And you’re making me feel guilty and looking around my room to see what I need to clean.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
