Cleaning

Holy smokes. I have not cleaned this much since we moved down here.

We are not cleaning alone, however. As I have said, Lizbeth is helping me, and, Jesús is helping Ivan; we are almost ready for Juan. We are bringing him here Sunday afternoon, and, we cannot wait. He is looking forward to it as well. It has been over two years since he was with us. Too long; unavoidable, however.

We are combining this, and that, freeing up tote after tote, to see beautifully clean, white tile underneath. Everything is bright again, like when we first moved here, yet before the totes took over.

I have gotten the ice cold sourdough starter out of the fridge, and, am attempting to revive it, once again. I want Juan to help me knead the dough, if he wants. I believe it will give him some enjoyment to do that. I know it does for me. It is peaceful, and calming. And, to have a loaf, or two, of delish, homemade bread as a result? What is not to enjoy?

Anyway, I need to check on the washing machine. It is trying to spin a lightweight blanket I had it wash, but it sounds like it may be out of balance. I must say, though, that this Maytag machine, is pretty amazing. When it discovers that a load is unbalanced, it does a partial fill, and rinse cycle. Then, if, as it drains, it is still unbalanced, it does another partial fill, and swishes around, until it is balanced. It checks again, while it is draining, and, when it is balanced, spins to its hearts content! Lovely.

Gonna go. It sounds fine, but now it needs to go into the dryer. So, in the meantime, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones; now more than ever.

Here is a little surprise for you. I enjoy Snapchat!
