Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006Sunning
It's a beautiful, spring-like day here in Houston, so we opened all the windows today to air out the house.* All the masters, except Bandit, took the opportunity to laze around in open windows and sunbeams. http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Sammy27/ (click on the pictures to see the full-sized versions) *Since the girls have gone, I've been doing some spring cleaning. In the last 3 days I have: Moved all the furniture out of each room, steam-cleaned the carpets, then moved the furniture back in; dusted every surface in the house (including ceiling fans, crown molding, and chair rails); washed every sheet and piece of clothing in the house; scrubbed down both bathrooms; scrubbed all kitchen cabinets; scrubbed all doors; scrubbed all non-carpeted floors; took everything out of the refrigerator and freezers and scrubbed them inside and out; scrubbed the microwave; scrubbed the decks and front porch; cleaned out the fireplace; scrubbed out the litter boxes; wiped down all walls; and cleaned the garage. Somebody stop me before I clean again! Also, because of all this, I could use some back-pain-go-away purrs - moving furniture is not a good thing to do when you have degenerative disk disease!

Oh my - so you're telling us you're a degenerate, as well as having this deviant desire to clean (griining, ducking and running). I hope your poor back eases up soon.

Oooooh! Sunshine! Obviously the owners approve. Would they care to trade for some of our Seattle rain? Missy hasn't been outside in a month (always supervised in a fenced back yard). I'm truly impressed with your industriousness (is that a word?). What would you do if you didn't have DDD? Take care, Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe > Oooooh! Sunshine!

The high today was 78F, but the humidity was fairly low (for Houston) at 57%. It was clear and breezy so the open windows were the conduits of some interesting odor s from which the owners partook! ;> > I'm truly impressed with your industriousness (is that a word?). What > would you do if you didn't have DDD? I can't take any credit - it's a combination of ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and missing the girls (just like some people drink to forget their troubles, I clean!).

But I have a real soft spot for Jessie, because she has such a cute, prety little face. Is she as sweet-tempered as she looks?

Good lord, girl - this sounds like an illness! :) But it's a socially acceptable illness that has very pleasant results. > Somebody stop me before I clean again! Hee hee. Somehow, I don't seem to suffer from this problem myself... :) Joyce > > In the last 3 days I have: > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Joyce It really is - it's obsessive-compulsive disorder (a mild case, since I don't have to do things a certain number of times - but I do have to do things a certain *way* - the *right* way). It used to be simply called perfectionism before arm-chair psychology got popular. My 5th grade teacher actually called my mother to tell her I was *too* conscientious - I would make myself ill if something weren't done perfectly.

(I would imagine the distance might be doubled to separate the colors - but at the time all our hangers were the standard wire hangers used by the quartermaster laundry, so the issue never came up) I once had a senior drill sergeant who actually checked the distance by placing a quarter, which measures one inch, between hangers. Even the other drill sergeants used to roll their eyes when they thought we couldn't see them.

Now that is Monk-ish ;-) Another reason Rob hated to live in the barracks. When he was an E-6, he got the "honors" of doing pre-inspections. One of the parts of that is being even more anal than the Platoon and 1st sergeants doing the inspections. YUK.

The house *needed* cleaning (and I needed the distraction of cleaning to get my mind off how much I miss them). SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ >>> It's a beautiful, spring-like day here in Houston, so we opened all the >>> windows today to air out the house.* All the masters, except Bandit, [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > needed the distraction of cleaning to get my mind off how much I miss > them). My mother would be so proud if I cleaned like that. (She invented obsessive compulsive cleaning) Isn't going to happen. There was a time when hormones and a good size dose of prednisone could push me into a cleaning frenzy. Those hormone levels are long gone and not missed. Well except for the kitchen floor that really could use a good scrub brush cleaning. Jo >My mother would be so proud if I cleaned like that.

So would my mother. She tried and tried to teach me to clean, but I never got it. I could clean a room and it looked fine to me, then she'd go through the same room, and it would sparkle! I never understood how to make that happen. Well, I'm a computer geek, not a housekeeper. I get paid enough to pay someone ELSE to come and make my apartment sparkle once a month. The rest of the time, I'm just happy if it's warm, dry, and safe. And my sewing room is set up. Gotta have my sewing room.

You can come and clean in this house if you want. ;o) Purrs for the back pain to cease ASAP. Helen M Sammy really takes her sunbeams seriously. She and Jessie have that Mom! I'm busy here, don't bother me. Demi is her usual elegant self. Suz&Spicey |
