I knew it was supposed to be nice today, so I had decided that today was going to be window washing day. I like to wash my windows every spring and fall. Washing windows is one of those jobs that I really don't like to do, but once it's done, I'm thrilled I did it. Know what I mean? It took me just over 2 hours, but every window in the house is sparkling clean and I can actually see outside. All the windows are wide open and a beautiful breeze is blowing through the house. Did I mention that it's 79 degrees? In Chicago! In March!
Chablis got home from work at 1:00, eyed at her watch, looked at me, and said, "We could put our bathing suits on and sit outside for 2 hours until I have to leave for school." We are 2 peas-in-the-pod-beach-babies! Quicker than you could say "Beach Blanket Bingo" we were in our bathing suits and slapping on the sun tan lotion. In March!!
While we were outside I decided to clean up the yard. Our 2 dogs can drop a lot of "doggie bombs" in a week, so I scooped poop and then dragged out the hose and washed down the whole yard. All around the perimeter of the yard I can see plants already emerging from the soil. All my irises and hostas are coming up. Then I coaxed the dogs over by the hose and gave them each a much needed bath, clipped their nails and brushed their teeth. That's another job I hate to do but I'm always glad when it's done!
At any rate, I feel like I really accomplished a lot today already. I'm heading back to my office now to file some paperwork, but I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. Plus, I have a little bit of a tan. In March! I still can't believe it's 79 degrees out.
