We're 50 posts away from yet another 500 post thread. However, I'd like to suggest that due to my post ramblings and the renovation going on, it would be kind of nice to leave all the ramblings and renovation posts in this one thread "for the future".
Monday morning, renovation week continues, hopefully, it will soon all be over. Well, at least having strange people around the place daily. I will then still have weeks of cleaning ahead of me.
I've done my morning routine. I saw the kitchen is a mess, I will work on that while they work on the bathroom.
I went to my sister's place Sunday and had a nice shower, and I've tried to relax the rest of the day.
Airing out the apartment right now.
Put whatever dirty clothes I could find and put them in the washing machine. It's not enough yet to justify a cycle.
Hopefully today I will be able to just play hayday and take it easy, watch tv, and work a little on my balcony. And if they are gone early today I will just go to bed for a nap and catch some extra snooze, knowing it will be another four days until it's the weekend again.
Saturday I've done food-prep, which went fine. The gravy I made I was afraid I didn't have enough and added more water to the end, which was fine, but I clearly had enough and shouldn't have doubted. Good to know for next time. The potato wedges turned out great, and the rest as well. I have three more days though. Not a whole 5, I had ingredients that would not be nice to eat after 5 days in the fridge. I had it saturday night, (made it saturday night) sunday night. And now 3 more boxes left.
Today I also have to boil the last six eggs, I will do that now before these guys show up, while the apartment is airing out. This will be 2 for today, breakfast and one with my lunch, both probably on toast. Tomorrow one or two, maybe with a salad. And then day after the last few with grilled cheese or something.
And in the meantime, each time I use something, I wipe it off for the day. Like, I use the fridge, I clean the top, sides, .. removing dust hopefully. Using the microwave? Okay, wiping it off while it's going. Need a plate? If i didn't just wash it and it's a new one, I will clean it before using. It feels like a battle with the spigot on, there's always new dust, but I try to limit at least that I inhale less and less, and dont put food on it etc. Once a day at least, when these guys are gone. I use the swiffer on the floor where there's no stuff. And in the evening I move away one thing and swiffer that. I don't vacuum yet, for other reasons. I can't use wet, because it is cement and wall stuff, so it will just mix into something that can be perm. Swiffer while they're here, vacuum once this whole renovation crap is over, air out in the meantime, and dust off in the meantime. And when it's all the best it can be, i will mop the floor and clean surfaces properly etc. Baby steps, a little patience, and not being too bothered about it, .. will keep me calm, doesn't give me anxiety, and I know eventually it will all be nice again.
Okay, ramble of the day is over, I can get started LOL.
New trash bag,
boil eggs,
swiffer the floor maybe,
air out apartment (already doing that)
.. just get up and get started, it's only 6:30am, OPFpPFPFPOfoOF
