Until Mike retired, he was gone all week just about every week. Gradually, I became a night person and it remains so. I’m a bat or isn’t it more popular to be a vampire? So as it gets dark, I get energetic. Add a little anger to that, and I am a Cleaning Machine.

If you look at my house, you’ll know I don’t get mad that often. However, something totally chapped me tonight. Armed with a toilet brush, I cleaned commodes. Two to be precise. There were paw prints all over them. Sam the Cat leaves his mark.

Then…I started in on our kitchen drawers…might as well take pictures of them.   I knew I’d have a night like this at some point so I prepared…I bought the little red inserts at TJ Maxx just for this evening…I didn’t know the exact date, but I knew it would arrive.    It’s like a bottle of wine that you might set aside for that special evening…well…I didn’t buy wine…I bought organization stuff.

I’m feeling better. I did another drawer…more little red things to play around with. This one has a lemon juicer thing plus several flat things that are 4 inches wide. I just stacked them as best I could. See the cute little silver thing in the front that looks like an acorn? I use that when I make Russian Tea. I put cloves inside and drop it into the tea…if I leave it in a long time, the tea makes my tongue almost numb. I talk like dis when dat happens! Oh…I wiped out the entire drawer and everything as I did this. Sparkling. Smells like bleach.

I don’t know why I’m keeping these things pictured below. They are probes or something that go to the microwave or the oven–probably the OLD one that we removed when we changed to stainless steel. These are the kind of things you don’t want to throw away but know you’ll never use.

Feeling better already. Going to clean the mirrors. At least I won’t be frowning. I can’t. Sue put some Botox in my frownies.
