Ah, kitchen floor

walkitoutI did actually vacuum the kitchen floor yesterday, but it was really … needing something more. So I cleaned all the surfaces, put the chairs up, vacuumed again, and then mopped it. I didn’t bother putting the chairs down, because I was kinda lazy, and wanted to go take a shower and start the laundry. The chairs have to come down to put the tablecloth on, but it was in the laundry. No rush.
Meanwhile, R. comes downstairs, sees the chairs up, starts the Braava … and apparently fails to notice that it is very low battery? So I watch the Braava stop, do the blinking red light thing, and clean the wheels (because who knows, maybe that was the problem) before finally giving up and putting it on the charger. Not sure if it is really charging, tho, because R. took it off the charger where it had been for months unattended and so _should_ have been fully charged. I don’t understand why this turned into extra work for me, other than that he is on a zoom meeting up in his office that I’m happy not to be participating in.
Independent of whether the mopping robot ever works again, at least the floor is clean right now. Also, it’s too early for lunch, so I think maybe I’ll try to collect some of my thoughts. I have been having a lot of them lately.
ETA:
I got the robot on the charger, and then I started it up again. It ran for maybe a half hour and then stopped again, seemingly done. When R. removed the cloth, he looked at it and went, “Huh.” To which I responded, “You do realize I had already mopped the floor, right?”
While there was inevitably some dirt on the mopping cloth, it wasn’t much.
