Cleaner House and DST

 The cleaner came today. She has the half bath ready to clean. At the very end of her time, she got all the trash left in there picked up and the room, tiny bath    room, vacuumed. Also the closet had so much trash in it. Tommy had a boarder that left about 12 years ago. She was too ill to clean it, so her boyfriend and her brother moved her out. They left trash and belongings all over the room, closet, and bath. If course, Tommy has not vacuumed or cleaned it for that long, about 11 years, maybe more.

I asked her to clean a huge spot on the kitchen floor. She got on hands and knees and scrubbed the whole floor! She took the pile of junk left by the missionaries and we got that sorted and some donated, some to the trash, some to her. It looks so much roomier in there. But, lots needs to go in the dishwasher. I need to get in there and do that right now. I washed the filter on the vent hood and she changed the bulb to an LED that is brighter. Tommy could not understand why I washed the filter as he said there was nothing in it. Of course, it stuck to my hand and left my had sticky after putting it into the dishwasher. Apparently, nothing needs to be cleaned after forty years! 

Of course, she changed my bed and the floral sheets are on and they are so much more fluffy and cuddly than the other two flannel sets. 

Tommy was willing to get rid of more things, thankfully. Many of the items he has belong to his boarder. He cannot remember her last name. However, she had liver cancer, so we wonder if she is alive now. I claim the items he says are hers if he does not want them. One nice pitcher still has a sticker on it. Someone gave it to him in 1980 at a housewarming party the church threw for him at the church. 

He had five lighters and four worked. He does not smoke, and I have loads of matches. He decided to donate four. We donated about six ice cube trays, all very old, rough, and dirty! We tossed dirty, used, and shabby sponges. 

She cleaned the glass in the storm door. Now, I can see through it. He would not "allow" me to clean it several years ago. Now, I cannot reach up easily and almost tip over backwards! She was puzzled at the stuff that did not go away when the vinegar dried. Well, it is called extreme dirt! So, the door called for lots of cleaning. 

Tommy washed and dried three loads of clothes, pink set of flannel sheets, blue set of flannel sheets, all my towels, washcloths, and underwear. Thankfully, the day was not cold and there was no rain, so he could actually do it, going outside and up the driveway. 

Last week, I asked her to a move small folding table to the end of dining area and put my garden things there. I needed to find seeds. Only this Sunday afternoon did I discover she put it all against the back door. Yikes! I would be afraid of trying to get out in a fire. And, I found my seeds.

She made four trips to the car to carry out things leaving here. Plus, the trash can was overflowing when she emptied it, most from this afternoon. She also vacuumed the back bedroom, picking up boxes, vacuuming and putting boxes back, except further back in the room so we can get into the room more easily. It is not done yet, but it looks so much better. 

For dinner: Tommy--last of ham and chicken, potato, turnip greens. I had late meal of chicken breast, potato, Romaine, and an apple. 

The refrigerator is getting empty! I need to buy fresh vegetables. There are carrots left and the Romaine I bought yesterday. 

On Saturday I was ecstatic that DST started today. I have never had a problem with sleep from the time change. Of course, now I have sleep problems, but today I could tell no difference in my sleep. Actually, how would I know? 

I am still ecstatic over the time change. Today, has been a good day.

Did the time change cause any change in your sleep? Were you late to church?
