I have moved into transition phase where I am thinking of household projects and how to stage the house nicely for sale. I don't want to do anything too drastic until I know that my background check is complete. I am weird about things like this. I also came to the realization that I will be starting work, if all goes alright in a week from Monday. I think I better try to push it back cause I am not sure I am going to get everything done. I was thinking that May 10 was in two weeks when it really is about 10 days.
MASSAGE
I went to get a massage because I joined Massage Envy, which is a monthly plan that offer inexpensive massages. I love it but some how have not kept up and have three massages to take. Listen I am not complaining because I love them. Any opportunity for someone to rub my back and feet - I am taking - no questions asked. I was especially looking forward to it today since I have been running alot and I think I hurt my ankle a little. I usually go to this great gal, but she broke her foot and will be off for another month. I went to a different masseuse thinking everything was fine since I like a ight touch and relaxing opposed to deep muscle. Well, she went to town on me. She was intrigued with my stress balls in my neck and some how leaving I feel very sore. Is that right? I wanted therapeutic and relaxing not car crash and paralysis.
THE KITCHEN
I am picking off one room at a time to get prepared for the sale. I am going to clean it up and stage it. I decided to start with the kitchen. The challenge is that this kitchen has 1967 cabinets and appliances. I thought I would capture the retro charm that is so in style now - or at least I tell myself that. Years ago, I bought window cell shades to allow the light to peek in and provides an airy feeling. I didn't realize how scummy they get from years of food splatter. For years, I have stared at these gross levelers. It occurred to me today, maybe I can clean them? I looked it up on the Internet and there were the directions to remove spots and grime. I went to my local K-Mart (hate this store) and picked up the cleaning products which was generally a white sponge and upholstery cleaner. I was so excited about my find that I tested it on one of the shades. It cleaned up beautifully. So basically I have settled for dirty blinds because I was too stupid to figure out how to clean them. I am gross and my house will look better as we move then when we lived in it = pretty pathetic.
Realization
I guess I should be happy that I can get massages - even a bad one is better than not having one at all. I think I will try someone else next time. I am finding myself doing a lot of head circles and hearing that crunchy noise. Realization two - I need to take better care of my next house but next time you can rest assure that I buy the proper window coverings.
