I had some honey-do&#8217;s that needed to be taken care of this weekend. Actually it&#8217;s been months and I&#8217;ve been lazy so I finally got around to them. This included stopping by my insurance agent and by the tax collector to tell them I&#8217;ve paid off my car loan so they can remove the lien-holder from the title. In addition we are canceling an old but recently expensive credit card. This was one which we&#8217;ve had for over 10 years, and accidentally was late on a payment a few months ago so they boosted the rate to a ridiculous percentage. I phoned them for a better rate since we&#8217;d been such good customers and they said sorry maybe in 6 months they would lower it. Well screw them. We paid it off, canceled it, and got a totally new one from the credit union. Over the years they probably have made thousands off us and they won&#8217;t any longer &#8211; bye bye a**holes. Can you tell that I&#8217;m upset. And if you think I&#8217;m upset you should hear my dear partner &#8211; cover your ears. Well it&#8217;s their loss. On another less emotional item I cleaned the master bathroom today. I scrubbed, rubbed, and tubbed the entire place. On my hands and knees with a brush, and finally I stood in the shower stall naked and sprayed it with mold and mildew spray and cleaned it until it sparkled. The cleaners I used made it tough to breathe in those confined spaces especially the shower stall. So I kept the fan going and every so often I had to leave the room for fresh air. Yet it&#8217;s done. The mirror is spotless. The sink is shiny and sealed with surface protectant. The toilet bowl is wand scrubbed with lime-a-way, and hand-scrubbed with a scouring pad (ugh). And the shower, ah the shower, is brush scrubbed, and bathed in industrial mildew and mold cleaning agents. Nothin&#8217; like a toxic bath of chemicals to make this bathroom again usable to mankind.<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/weblog\/images\/CleanSink20080824.jpg\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you just have to stay home and get some housework done.
