House Cleaning And Other Stuff

 
Today starts house cleaning. I have started with the computer/craft/dining room.  I am about half way.  I have made room for Kevin to put together my new tall bookcases.  I have a lot of “stuff” sitting around that needs to be put in the bookcases.
Miss Penny does not like my sweeper.  She runs and hides under the chair in the living room (or any room where I am not).  Rodney never did mind the sweeper.  In fact, Jim used to use one of the attachments to control her shedding.  There is no way Penny would let me do that.  She is also confused with the moving of furniture.
I finished “house cleaning” the computer/craft/dining room.  I am now waiting for Kevin to put together my new bookcases. One is for my paper supplies, etc., and the other is for my craft supplies.  Some of those are actually in the bookcase I already have.  I made a lot of changes in the room.  This morning I found Miss Penny on top of the bookcase.  She has never been there before.
Today is odds and ends day.  I paid some bills and put them in the mailbox, did dishes (which I hate to do and I don’t have a dishwasher unless you count me) emptied the trash, made the bed and did some dusting.  I still plan to run the sweeper in the bedroom and get it organized so I can move around.  Yesterday it was a catch all space while cleaning.
What a morning! I’ve been working on cleaning the bedroom.  Not sure why I started, but I washed the window, and, of course, it came out of the track and I can’t get it back in.  When I tried I caused a picture to fall off the wall.  Luckily it didn’t break.  I went into the kitchen to get a swiffer cloth, and there is Penny on top of the cabinet.  I grabbed my camera, and as soon as she saw me she started coming down.  Then she sat on top of the refrigerator.  I turned my back and heard something break.  She jumped from the refrigerator to the counter and knocked a cup off and broke it.  She ran away, turned, laid down and looked at me.  I didn’t yell or anything, just cleaned it up.  This is a first.  She has never broken anything before, but it probably won’t be the last.
A few pictures of Penny including the one of her coming down off the cabinet and one on the refrigerator.
 





Meanwhile the phone was ringing like crazy and people were leaving me messages.  I called Jana right back (she was one of the messages) I didn’t get an answer.  I think I better quit for the day before anything else happens!

Wednesday was doctor day – the cardiologist.  She informed me that my heart is fine.  A little thickening of the walls because of my high blood pressure.  However, that is being kept under control with meds. She said that the showing of a blockage was a false reading because of the blockage in my left bundle branch.  I don’t have to go back to her for six months.  Next Wednesday I am having a pulmonary/lung function test.  The following week I will be having blood work done to check my thyroid.  The reason for that is because I am always tired.  Maybe I’m just getting old J

Today I am working on my spring/fall cleaning of 2014 again.  The computer/craft/dining room is finished except for the new bookcases which Kevin has to put together.  I can then put supplies in them and that room will be done. The bedroom is finished except for cleaning out the corner where the new shelving will be going, and cleaning out my cupboard.  The living room is finished except for the ceiling fan (which I can’t reach) and the wall clock (which I can’t reach). Kevin will help with both of those.  I also need a light bulb replaced in the ceiling fan. I am getting there slow but sure. I also need to go through my magazines and throw away the old ones.

I’m still waiting for Kevin to put my bookcases together J
