I paid bills and took them to the mailbox. Naturally, I've checked emails and answered when I needed to. I've also checked blogs I follow, just to see what's going on. I didn't intend to post to my blog, but something struck me funny...so, here I am.
And, okay, the load of laundry was 4 towels and 8 washcloths...but, I did it and that's what counts!
It was while I was putting the towels away that I noticed how filthy Wayne's shower was. I've noticed it before, but the urge to clean wasn't as compelling as it was today. There are two teak shower mats in his shower...low wooden platforms. I have two of them in my shower, also. I like the way they feel, how they sort of give, and they seem more secure than just standing on the shower floor. When I finish showering, I tilt each of the mats to let the water drain off, top and bottom. My mats look almost as good as new. Wayne doesn't do that, however, and his mats are scary. Plus, there was so much dirt collected on the floor beneath the mats that it looked like we had painted a brown rectangle there. So, I decided to clean the shower.
I located the Scrubbing Bubbles and sprayed all it over the floor and part way up the walls of the shower, set the timer on my phone for 10 minutes and then went back to work on Quicken upstairs. Good thing I set the timer, because when it went off, I had already forgotten about the shower. I started spraying it off with a hose attachment that is really nifty, but the grime had been there too long and was hanging on for dear life. I knew I had a stiff scrub brush that had a long handle on it, so I went to get it. I looked everywhere, but never found it. I looked again, and still didn't find it. I looked out in the storage room in the garage. When I opened the door out there, the picture below is what I saw and what made me laugh.
It looked like we had decorated the water pressure tank for Christmas! The wreath goes to one grave at the cemetary and the tree goes to Wade's grave. Wayne takes them every year and then brings them back home a few days after Christmas. I guess that's where he decided to store them. Looks pretty festive, don't you think?
Anyway, that's basically the only reason I'm posting this ridiculous story about nothing. I never did find the scrub brush I was looking for, so I used a small one, which worked fine after another round of Scrubbing Bubbles. I should take the mats outside and clean them good, but it's too blinking hot. Maybe I could get Wayne to take them to the barn and pressure wash them. Now I just need to vacuum out the bathtub in that bathroom and it'll look pretty good in there!
