Spring Cleaning for my brain weasels?
There gets to the point that my house gets weird and I can't stand it. I used to just send Benton and Mel off somewhere and clean and clean and clean and then it would be fine. But with the pandemic I only had Mel out of the house since he was volunteering at the POD. But I made a list and I stuck to that list for two days of work on the house. I did get some video games and some knitting in so I it wasn't all work and no play.
But my house is not an embarrassment to me. Others may have had different opinions. But our bathroom is clean. I double washed the shower curtain, replaced the liner and used Mold Armor which stinks to high heaven but it works. There is still some staining from dirt etc but maybe in a few weeks I will try the Dawn/vinegar trick that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
danabren posted about. But its clean and I'm happy. I made Benton help with the floors which I still need to mop but its way better. The amount of cat hair in the carpet...wow. We vacuumed two weeks ago. But everyone got fresh linens in their beds, I refreshed pillows and just need to do a bit of vacuuming in our bedroom but mel needs to put his clothes away. I also finished up with jewelry making stuff, put that away and moth balled the stash. We had a sudden emergence in the living room of moths and we tracked it down to my birthday gift from the apprentice. oops. So its in the freezer and will be put into he trunk of the car for a few days at the end of the week. We've also noticed that the cat fur really attracts them too. So I think we are good now and everything has been mothballed for this quarter. They naturally occur in AZ so they are a major pest. Grump.
Its a good thing the house is cleaned. We have a termite inspection today so the guys will be searching in the nooks and crannies. Wooho! but the house does feel happier...whether that is all in my head or not its a settling feeling. Mel does enough cooking and baking that things are good but the bedrooms and family rooms have been a bit weird to me. So now things are brighter. which is good.
Been trying to get back into reading a book before bed. The electronic reading just doesn't make me sleepy enough and that is a problem. I've been up much too late reading fic. Its all been good but need to fix it and get going on reading...so I'm still reading #5 of the year which is Trapped by Kevin Hearne. I'm almost done with that and then I will work on my TBR pile on my end table. I have a lot to read. :)
So I'm happier and I've been playing a video game on xbox called Graveyard Keeper...its like StarDew valley but goth. Its been fun and I've been sinking a few hours into it every few days. Its my treat for working hard. So all good.
Here is a pic of the last necklace I made which is all from beads given to me while I was queen and my own green beads from really long ago. Its huge and very SCA.

The amount of cat fur in my vacuum after I attack one rug is .... yeah.
How lovely that necklace from the beads you were given as Queen!
