Saturday looms like so many monoliths

Today is Cleaning Day. It seems like it's always Cleaning Day. I want house elves.

Anyhow, I'm tackling the sentient mound of clothes in the bedroom, cajoling it into becoming a slightly more orderly grouping of clothing on hangers. I'm also finishing the laundry, mostly what I call "industrial" loads--blankets and comforters. We got the bulk of the other laundry caught up last weekend and this week.

Boy is in the kitchen, crying over the dishes, as usual. Afterward, I need to put up beans and peppers so that he can cry over more dishes.

The guest room is looking much better, though it still needs quite a bit of work.

The front room has fallen by the wayside the last couple weeks and needs a *lot* of work. *sigh* Most of the clutter is actually recycleable, so maybe we'll run down to the recycling center today. I can sit down to do the front room, fortunately, since it's mostly sorting and piling. That's not as exhausting as hanging up clothing.

Speaking of clothing, I really need to purge my closets. I have such a hard time doing this, but it *needs* to be done.

The deck is full of branches. I should heave those into the ravine. The basement needs sweeping, too.

Oy.

Tonight--Thunderball at the Paramount! If I'm not too tired after that, we'll probably go see the Brides and Dead New Year at the Outback. If I'm too tired, well, I'll miss a damn good show.

I sympathize. Today is my cleaning day as well. I'm on my second load of laundry, have cleaned/bleached the bathroom sink, vacuumed and sorted papers. We just bought a cheap shredder that works as long as it's one paper at a time. That's cool because I'm not in that big a hurry. I had a vacuum delay when something hard got sucked into the bag. The bag had very little in it so I attempted to empty it and then was saved by a friend of G's who happened by and did it for me, we think it was a tack. I still have laundry, two more loads of work pants and towels, clearing surfaces and the dreaded dishes.

Guess what DVD is in the player waiting to be seen.......oh yes, Thunderball. The original James Caan version.

Synchronicity eh?

Correction.......... Rollerball, not Thunderball. :-P

I'd say, "If you clean your house, we'll clean ours," but . . . well, I'd be lying.
