Saturday: cleaning
Jun. 13th, 2020 12:38 pmLast night, I turned on the ceiling fan in my room. I thought, oh, right, this will help the AC work better! I started coughing almost immediately. I turned it off. I found the swiffer with the long reach. I stood on the bed. Yep. Very, very dusty. I am still getting used to living with ceiling fans, so I forget they need to be dusted. When I was done, I turned the fan on, no coughing.
I think I have also figured out why T. keeps needing his inhaler and zyrtec and coughing a ton at night. Ooops.
So, today, I asked him to get out his stepstool, I got the swiffer with the long reach, and I cleaned the fan. I could have had him do it, but I did not want to have to deal with the aftermath of him having an accident. If I have an accident, at least I am not mad at one of my kids; I am just embarrassed.
I also cleaned the downstairs lav.
I had T. take the kitchen trash out with supervision. He objected to the entire process, on the basis that it smelled bad and why did he have to do it. Sounds about right.
I tried J.H.’s suggestion of a scrambled egg with raisins and banana. I put the deglazed coconut pan sauce on top of it. It felt like brunch. The bananas pan fried with a little maple syrup and with the deglazed coconut pan sauce felt more like dessert. Both are good.
