Cleaning and Health
Oct. 17th, 2003 11:20 amCleaning, then - today I have, so far, cleaned the entire bathroom, except for washing the floor. I haven't washed the floor because I have to clean the kitchen first and then wash both floors together. What I did do was clean the windowsill, both mirrors, the bath (need to get some special spray-on-wipe-off bathcleaner; arms ache), the door, the tiles, the sink and the toilet. It took 35 minutes. I didn't time the bath seperately, but I bet if I had spray-on-wipe-off cleaner, it would knock the total down to 20 minutes. The bathroom, you see, is so small that it never needs to be tidied before cleaning. I wish I knew where to get more Ecover products; all my current supplier stocks is laundry detergent, washing up liquid, and toilet cleaner.
And as to health - my adorable midwife called, because she's wonderful, and told me that my blood tests are back and that I am immune to rubella. Oh, and I am also free from Hep C, Syphilis, and HIV, but I was pretty sure of those. She also told me that she has written to the consultant to see whether they need to speak to me about my history of depression. It's quite reassuring to know that someone will be keeping an eye on me from a distance, in case I miss the symptoms because the hormones make them sufficiently different.
And cleaning again - I'm drinking tea right now, because I am going to tidy the kitchen in chunks before cleaning it. I don't count tidying-time as cleaning-time, since washing up should in theory happen every day. Luckily the dining room and library will be a doddle.
