The Cleaner

 

Gigi and I.   Today I gave her a shave.  She became seriously anxious during the fireworks going off and afterwards and began pulling at her hair she was so stressed still.  It was too long and hot anyhow, so I shaved most of it off and she looks like a teen again and began running around acting silly with all that hot hair gone for now.


 All I do these days is clean clean clean.   I have nowhere I can really go in the heat until this itchy heart monitor is off.  One more week.

Today I cleaned in the garage, put up things I had received, like a very cool 8 x 11 metal cat poster and two cat head knobs I can hang things on.

I'll get photos in the morning.  

I took out all the full water jugs, saved for emergency and I've had to use them and share them at least twice, due to ice storms.  I cleaned them all (they were dust covered) and cleaned out the area under the cat stairs where I stored them.   It looks good, I have to say.

I got rid of junk I never even knew I had, way up in shelves in the garage, real junk, nothing useful to be done with broken old doorknobs dried out caulk, etc.

When I'm worn out, I watch TV or read awhile or text people I know won't respond or call.   I've received exactly one call since I went on break which was a week ago.   

And had otherwise no human contact either, with anyone I know.

Oh, one really aggressive pest control company salesman came by to try to fast hard sell me something I didn't want or need and could not afford if I did.   I have a no soliciting sign up but that didn't stop him.   He would not take no for an answer, but he had to because in the end I had to close the door in his face.  I thought he was scary aggressive.    Trying to sell me something I said I didn't want like that.   No is no.  I hope to never see him again.

I only answered the door because I thought it might be a neighbor needing something.

Those flash floods in Texas look so terrifying and to think little kids had to face that in the dark.   Rest in peace, lost little kids of Texas.  There's nothing anyone can think to make that event seem better.  It was tragic and horrible.
