Cleaning Day

Woke up with my alarm at 8 AM. Mimi is warming my lap. Mom is still asleep.

 

Mom got up around 8:30. 

 

The cats were anxiously waiting for me to feed them. Zara cracks me up. She has to decide every day where I should feed her. Today it was fine dining in the TV room.

 

Mom is washing all my mugs. She says that she likes washing dishes. To each their own.

 

We went over to the old place to clean and get stuff out of there. Things were going along well until Mom accidentally flushed a cleaning rag down the toilet when she was dumping the dirty water out. We need to call a plumber tomorrow. I was going to go back and continue cleaning, but realized that I should get up early to call the plumber. So we came home after eating at Steak and Shake.

 

I paid bills when I got home, so that's one more thing off the list.

 

Seriously need to crash.

The Cranky Family

Got up a little after 8 AM.

 

Well, here's an interesting wrinkle. The plumber wants to speak to the landlord to make an appointment. So I e-mailed him and told him that I was trying to make an appointment for the afternoon. We went back and forth a few times. He told me to call a local HVAC company that he likes, but they told me to call a plumber. My landlord eventually made an appointment with the HVAC company for Friday morning. I hope that they'll be able to take care of it rather than looking at it and telling us to call a plumber.

 

Then I left Mom dozing by the TV, and I went over to the old house. Dusted the ceiling fans and wiped off the window sills. While I was scrubbing the kitchen floor, I felt cramps and blood oozing out of me. It wasn't enough to get really alarmed, but it was more than "spotting". After I finished the floor, I was trying to make a personal phone call, but then Mom called wondering what was going on. So I hung up and called Mom back. She was about to come over to the house, but I told her that I was going to drop some stuff off at storage and would meet her at the new place.

 

We ate a late lunch. The doctor's office called to say that the polyps were benign. Then I lay down for a while to try to stop the cramps and slow down the bleeding. It helped somewhat.

 

Then I went over to the old place and loaded a lamp into the car and brought it to the storage place. Then I loaded some odds and ends into the car, including the stuff in the freezer. Unloaded the perishable stuff into the new place and left the rest of the stuff for morning.

 

Mom is in a cranky mood. I'm in a cranky mood. The cats are starting to fight. Calgon, take me away!

 

I put some clothes away, which helped. Not quite ready to go to bed, but will go soon.
