What roses? Gimme that grass.
Nom, nom, nom de nom. Most of the grass is well chewed this morning. From long, elegant strands to stumpy leavings. Well, that was the point, really.
Emblematic of the cleaning. One of my candle holders with the old candle nearly gone, the other already cleaned with new beeswax.
The gradual deep clean continues. 1. Bathroom, 2. corner with bookcase, 3. bookcase and rolled up (no room for) futon done, today, the 3. bed to the wall. Going clockwise, section by section. Trying not to overstress my back. D joined in, necessarily and willingly, bless him, today. We lifted the mattress and futon frame, pulled out the guitar cases and underbed storage, de-dusted everything, including D's bedside table, vacuuuumed the hell out of the area, thinned out stuff and replaced the rest. So much dust. Forced air heating, even with humidity control, means lots of dustage. How the hell did I move, and do this in far less time, all those years? The years and injuries have crept up on me, certainly.
Moby very chasey yesterday, and last evening. We wandered out because I was craving pie* and got him the decorative grass that came with roses. He mrrked and mrrow'd at me persistently (very unusual for him) as I got them trimmed and in a vase, racing me to the table, making it difficult to put it on the table because he was in the way. VERY EXCITED CAT! D reports a consistently freaked out cat most of the night. At about 0430, I could hear him horking just inside the bedroom door, so I got up and cleaned up the catvomit. (Didn't want D to open the door and spread the happiness.) Yeah, he needed that. This week, I'll get grass growing, even though it's a bit too soon. Hell, it's still fucking snowing. But the light tells him it's spring, and he will not be told.
More wild fluctuations in our weather forecast, snow and rain and wind, but also warm days by the end of the week. I'm just joyful that my broken cap repair process starts Wednesday. At least I have access to bone wax to fill in the sharp edged gap until then.
*Found some really quite good strawberry rhubarb for cheap at the grocery store.

spring cleaning and de-cluttering here too!
gz,
Tis the season.
what is bone wax?
I also don't know what bone wax is. Like the sound of it though - and of Deep Cleaning. My house has to make do with surface cleaning right now.
mmmm strawberry rhubarb is my favourite. Especially warmed up.
We've been doing some cleaning also, decluttering, organizing. We have a somewhat vaster area that requires attention.
FB, RtheS,
Bone wax is used in orthopedic surgery as a hemostatic material. Link added above.
Phil,
One speck of dust at a time.
My spring cleaning involves mowing a lot of grass, perhaps I could make a grass pie and send it to Moby...
