Ta-da: Went upstairs Changed into shorts and tee Laid around for an hour Made bed Straightened up stacks of books and dvds Cleaned bathroom mirror, sink, and scrubbed toilet Brought 2 water bottles downstairs *I don't want to vacuum To-do:
*okay I am going to bargain with myself. Setting timer for 15 minutes. Will vacuum for 15 minutes. I don't mind the vacuuming. It is the cleaning out shop vac which is just taking off lid (Its heavy) and dumping dirt into a trash bag.
Okay. First ta-do is put on good music. Take lid off shop vac. Dump contents. Replace lid. Good grief.

Ta-da: Put on my feel good music *yaoww she's brick house* Went to kitchen and found black wasp on dirty dishes in sink. Doused the heck out of it with spray. Ugh. Found disposable latex gloves, put one on. Took lid and accessories off shop vac. Used gloved hand to swipe layer of cat hair and dirt off the filter. Emptied contents of canister into trash bag. WHEW! To-do: Replace lid. Plug in shop vac. Turn on. Not worrying about timer, the hard part is done!

Ta-da: I got a lot of "big dirt" sucked up. Probably went for more than 20 minutes. Went half up the stairs. Did some of it sitting here in corner, computer is probably happy to have clear vents! Did around radiators, furniture, throw pillows etc - wherever cat hair collected.Not thorough but a start. Moved broken fan closer to mud room.
To-do: See a spot I missed; get that. Put another disposable glove on and clean out canister into trash bag. Not sure.

Thanks, razy, WTG with your Saturday chores Ta-da: Got up missed cat hair. Shook out the cover on love seat, tucked in. Rolled exercise bike into porch, a step towards getting it out of here. It has been taking up space in the living room since...around 2007 or 8? Used it a little bit at first. Was in same spot in living room for a year. Collecting dust. Moved broken fan into kitchen, closer to mudroom and ultimately out of here. To-do: Use lint roller on throw pillows which are coated in cat hair. See if I can get it off. hand wash clothes for work tomorrow. Order make up, can't seem to get around to it.

Ta-da: Watched 4 episodes of sitcom. Took down old curtains; hung ones I bought about a month ago. Brightens room. Bagged up library returns. Picked up some trash off floor; threw out trash off table - receipts, junk mail, tissues etc. Washed jeans, tops etc for work and hung up. Scooped, changed paper, topped off litter box. Fed cats; fat cat meds. Tossed kitchen sponge; took out new one. Washed a few dishes. Plugged in devices to charge.
To-do: Make a cup of tea. Listen to an LP. I have them stored in chest/coffee table where I can not see them, so I don't think to enjoy. Actually, has been hard to want to spend time in this room. It's feeling nicer since I vacuumed and tidied.So, why not? Look at rack of DVDs in living room. NEVER GOING TO WATCH most. Been sitting on rack a few years. Maybe more than 5 years. I want to get rid of some but not all dvds. The ones I would watch again are upstairs. So I want to weed these ones and add the ones from upstairs to the storagerack. Seems reasonable. But. When I have looked at them in past, I think, oh, I "should" watch these (some obscure, artsy fartsy stuff). Then I am blocked and put it off. Will see what I can weed out now.

Ta-da: Listened to Encores of Broadway from 1956 Started weeding DVDs but stopped. I think some are worth money. I bagged two bags but want to check ISBNs online. I will take them to a 2nd hand bookstore that buys DVDs. Maybe. I may just donate them but...same thing happened. Some are classics, some from 1920s, some are foreign, etc and suddenly I want to watch them. Good grief!!!! I will continue after work tomorrow. Made tea.
To-do: Bed.
