Not my idea of fun.
I know the answer. It’s always yes, you are! I should stop asking….but
Cleaning my apartment today, I was trying to get that wall under the cupboard, you know the one that your trash can sits up against? I’m reaching with a damp rag of cleaner and cannot reach the bottom. Basically I’m standing on my head with one hand gripping the wc so I don’t actually fall on my head…laugh…it’s been done…and I think, does everyone have this problem that cleans their own homes? Or do you ignore it, hire someone, or bribe a kid? The kids around me are older and up to my old tricks, they don’t fall for bribes. I miss those days.

Note the hose and pouf slippers!
Moving on to dusting, probably second hated chore under mopping. I like pine cones. I keep them around all year. I also love birds. I combined these two collections on a large metal tray, never realizing what a pita it is to clean.
Then there’s this tile in the bathroom. White with mottled gray. I say tile because that’s what they called it when I moved in. It’s really thick linoleum type stuff and it resists all cleaning products. I haven’t tried pouring on full-steam-ahead liquid bleach, but I doubt that would even work. There are gray stains of footprints that have been there since I moved in. My apartment was brand new when I moved here. Since they are on either side of the commode, I figure some construction guy made an imprint while using the facilities. I use bleach cleaner in the bathroom for sanitation reasons of course, but nothing budges these footprints.
An update on my dish account: Three weeks ago they canceled the account so I’ve had no tv reception which is not a big loss. 75 dollars of my rent is mandatory tv hookup, so that’s the only thing that maddens me. I was told they would send a basic unit that comes with the apt and an empty box to send the old one in. Still have received neither item. It’s a back and forth between he said he said with the apt people and dish. So I gave up. When I’m steeled enough to attempt another 45 min hold time I’ll call back.

I have no idea what this is about. Questions: Where is it plugged in? Why would you do it outside under a tree?
I guess this was a no worm day, but my mini world is sparkling!
the only thing I ever iron anymore is fabric I am sewing up into a quilt. I had to iron George’s military uniforms for years and hated every second of it…it sometimes felt as if I was enclosed within a small steamy box never to see the light of day or feel a fresh breeze again…maybe that is what that picture is about????

As a kid I liked ironing with my mom. The smell of the steamed cotton was something I liked and it was time with her which I loved. Ironing and sewing go hand in hand. I do neither now. I hope George is recovering well.

I only have one item that needs ironing and of course I rarely wear it.

I actively avoid any fabric that wrinkles easily!

Ha. Especially that last photo. She looks like she’s about to go to a fiesta, just as soon as she figures out why the iron isn’t getting hot!!

The sheer mindlessness of gender profiling in advertising, though it did make me laugh, and no you’re not the only one.
