Saturday

I had a much better night, much to my relief! I still woke up a little late - mippies insisted I get up, so I obliged. I went and sat on the couch, though it was quite cold - and there was that disturbing pong again ... turns out the cushion as well as the blankie have been drenched at one point! Sigh!

And while I was having my morning smoke, my landlord was already busy watering my garden! It wasn't even seven, yet and he had been busy for quite some time! Makes me feel kind of inadequate, he he.

Well, I had my coffee, which warmed me up somewhat - it really was quite cool this morning. I had a scone for breakfast and then I got busy. I packed everything exuding a pong into the machine, added my clothes and started the machine. It - once again - didn't drain and I ended up hanging up sopping wet laundry! Well, it's dry, folded and packed away now.

I spent the entire morning washing the bedroom floor - the part I normally don't reach. As I had to wash the base cover - which ... you guessed it! It got sprayed. Lots! While I was at it, I took off the mattress, so that I could maybe turn it, too. And that's when I decided to do a little spring cleaning! I washed the walls, and I hand-washed the floor - tile by tile. And then, just for fun, I decided to use up the tile polish I still had, polishing the tiles I don't usually get to wash. I moved furniture around, and I spent a lot of time on the floor. There were - of course - sprays along to wall! Sigh! Everything is clean now, though. I even washed the windows - well, on the inside, at least. And then I swept the rest of the place. What I didn't do, was scrape the paint spatters off the bedroom floor, though. Another time.

For lunch, I fried the steak I had taken out for yesterday's dinner - and ate it off my salt plate! The first time I used it, the food turned somewhat over salted - which I didn't mind - but this time, it was not over salted. It was really pleasant! I'm thinking of getting a larger version! I just still have to work out whether I should get two - one to cook food on and one to eat the food off, since I can't exactly put a hot plate on any surface here like I would a plate.

After lunch I took it easy. Stretched out on the bed, watched an episode of Stargate, got licked by Tynx, and tickled Janey's toes. The beauty is, that there's no pressure today - I don't HAVE to get things done today, nor tomorrow. I have three days to do what needs to be done, which is why I could go off track and spring clean my bedroom today. Tomorrow I would like the dishes washed, but it's no major task - and then I might like to spend some time in the garden.

Mippies came inside without much trouble. Well, Mewthos did. Tynx followed. I had to carry Janey in, and ginger kept Ziva away, yet again! I ended up waiting something like twenty minutes before she showed up - and went towards ginger! But she did come home without trouble. This time I made sure the kitchen window was closed, though! Wouldn't want a repeat of last night's worrying mipless silence!

They're all on or around my bed now, three on the bed and Tynx on the box behind it. She's still not part of the cuddle round, nor the regular lick-fests on my bed - soon, though, I hope!
