Last weekend, I spent my time in a combination of puppy/cat/house sitting.

Before I left Thursday I gave my bedroom and the upstairs bathroom, that I share with my sister, a good scrubbing.



I scrubbed the bathtub. I sprayed the shower liner with cleaner and then wiped it down and rinsed it. I got the toilet but inside and out. I swiffer dusted the walls. I cleaned the mirror. I cleaned out the container that holds the soap and anti-microbial goo. I dusted the lights. I sprayed down Grant's bath toys and then rinsed them off. I got the baseboards and door. I put out clean hand towels. I put down baking powder and vinegar down the drain because they've been kinda sluggish. I got around the bathroom sink and counter. I vacuumed and mopped with an actual mop and not just a swiffer mop. In short, I busted my ass.



There were towels on the floor. She'd emptied the trash but hadn't bother to replace the bag but she'd still thrown things away. She changed the roll of toilet paper but left the old empty one on the roll. Her hair and toothpaste covered the sink. She left everything out. There was this weird sand residue that was left in the tub, I guess from where Grant likes to play in his sandbox and then have a bubble bath. His toys had been left in the tub and covered with leftover bubbles.

This is what I put up with on a daily basis. It's not enough that I clean the bathroom, clean the boy's things, wash his clothes, wash his bedclothes, and sometimes wash Cari's clothes. It's not enough that most nights I fix dinner and do my mother and her husband's laundry. It's not enough that I fix his nightly ninis and make sure that his woobie is washed every other day. It's also not enough that I fix his dinner, ask about what's he's ate that day (the boy doesn't like to eat), and make sure that he has everything else that he needs.

She still constantly treats me like crap. How hard is it to replace the bag (WHEN THERE ARE SOME UNDERNEATH THE SINK) and switch out the toilet paper? It's not very hard.

But enough about my sister...

After I cleaned up and packed, I went down there. To my dismay I found out that I did not pick up any wireless networks. To make it worse the computer in the attic room was on dial-up. Dial-up sucks but what made the computer unusable was the hotness of the room. There was a vent for the air conditioner but you couldn't tell it. It was so hot and miserable up there that it just exhausted me to use the computer.

I used my phone a lot but it didn't do anything for the absolute boredom.

I spent a lot of my time crafting. I made some artwork for the boy's room at the house. I also made him some pillows because he loves diggers and mowers. I made some message boards. I crafted myself out.

It didn't help much.

I went to Panera Bread Saturday. The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad is good but does not compare to the strawberry chicken salad that is coming soon.

I played with Cinnamon as much as I could and with Grant. It was in the high eighties all weekend long. I didn't go outside much in the afternoons. It was hot.

I also did not sleep well. The bed in Grant's room is a very firm mattress.

Then there was the rash caused by antibiotics.

Unlike most times when I have to look after Cinnamon, the cat, and the house, I was looking forward to coming home.

I had high plans for the weekend. I was going to be playing WoW a lot. I was going to do a lot of admin crap for marvel_mansion. (Although I still LOL at the layout of mansion_bullpen. I was going to work on some application for RPs and some biographies, maybe make a few icons and get some RPing done.

None of that happened.

I don't know if this weekend will be any better. Already my sister started yelling at me because I asked her to move, I had to fold the laundry. I also have to pack up my winter clothes.

Meh.

Coming soon! A Wolverine movie review!

Revenge of the Edit: BTW, if any of you would like a mask icon, feel free to hit me up.

The first 5 people to comment on this post get to request some icons or a header of a character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal (optional). Post all fandoms you're willing to draw for.

I can work with a lot of different things. However, you need to tell me where I can find the pictures at.

Edit: No snakes. No spiders. No creepy-crawlies.
