House Maintenance


I'm sore. Achey-brakey. But it's good pain! This morning Kristen and I met at the track after PWOC for an extra day of running! I've been doing about 2.5 miles three days a week. This morning we ran the straights, walked the curves for a mile, which is SO much more fun when you have a running buddy! After that, we did some laps of walking backwards, and we did about a quarter-lap of walking lunges. DANG but those hurt. Good gracious. We got up after them (we shortened them from "all the bleachers" to "this set of blue bleachers" and it STILL hurt) and our legs felt like noodles - really heavy, jello-y noodles.

So, add that to a day of painting and another day of carpet shampooing. The House is closed for repairs this week. Yesterday we painted the main-floor living room, a wall or two in the downstairs coffee-area, the main kitchen, and the Kinder room. Today, we removed furniture and shampooed the carpets in the up- and downstairs living rooms and the Kinder room. Now everything is clean and shiny, and smells citrus-y fresh. (which is particularly appreciable in the kinder room!!) We finished it all a lot faster than we thought we would be able to, which was nice. And everything really does look so much the better for it! We're headed out this weekend to visit another hospitality house, which will give the carpets time to get good and dry. The House looks really different with all its furniture piled higgeldy-piggeldy on the tiled areas.
