Spring cleaning notes
It was wicked hard to move the headboard to the queen bed in the Ocean room, and there wasn't much if any dirt on the baseboard to clean. Maybe I skip that one next year.
This morning I cleaned up the baseboards in the two upstairs bedrooms. To me "cleaning baseboards" means that I dusted the tops of pictures and ceiling fans, that I move all the furniture away from the wall, that I wash down furniture with a wet cloth while I have a bucket of hot water and Murphy's Oil Soap, that the room is CLEAN when I am done. I did a pass on the louvered closet doors, I looked at the curtains (all fine, so I didn't wash them). What I didn't do was wash windows or light switches.
I am a bit bummed about spending so much of April vacation away from here, because now I am faced with still having to clean the downstairs rooms just as much, but I am running out of time and need to keep going today. I vastly prefer my technique of doing two hard hours of effort and then going to the beach or a walk and then reading on the lawn with a beer. Having to do two hours of heavy labor seems acceptable to me in that ratio, but seems like a hardship when it goes longer.
No help for it. I need to tackle either the yellow room or the Maine room next.
