wiseheartGoodness, I'm done in!
I started the day with another trip to Lidl because they had our favourite ginger ale in offer today; when I was there already I did a bit more food shopping, but the bulk of the issue was the ginger ale. Eight 1.5 l bottles are too heavy for me to drag home, so I pushed the shopping trolley all the way to our front door. An hour later, when I started my second tour - to the pharmacy for Mum's medicine against osteoporosis, which I didn't get and to take out the selective garbage - the trolley was already gone. One of the old ladies on her way to Lidl obviously used it as a rolator. *g*
Anyway, I got home with things unfinished this time, we had breakfast, then I launched the last part of the kitchen project. Since the exterminators were due today again (they come three times a year to do preventive spraying) I wiped the bathroom and the loo again; after spraying you must not wipe the floor for ten days or so. And since I was on the roll, I went out of the flat and wiped the entire corridor. That is something we inhabitants do whenever we come around doing it, and since we apparently no longer have a cleaning help, I have to do it myself in the foreseeable future.
When I was done with all this sh*it, we both took a nap (Mum was cleaning the drawer with the eating utensils all morning), and promptly overslept, missing the first part of our daily TV routine. But at least we had a bit of rest. Then we started waiting for the bug guy, who arrived after 7pm. That was an hour ago, and we are really done for the day. Tomorrow I intend to take some me-time, but you know it about the best laid plans of mice and men...
