Vacation, and cleaning...

I am still officially on vacation folks, so I don't consider myself retired yet. I did call down and make my selections on my retirement so it's only a matter of doing the paperwork. Isn't that always the way it is? LOl

Allie, Daddy, and Mommy are in Rochester this week for her first radiation treatments. Had to make some adjustments to the mask to hold her face, and to her meds to put her into sleep mode. Once she woke up, they got her out and headed back to the Ronald McDonald house. From there they went to the zoo to see the elephant, nocerous, a turtle as big as a tractor tire, and lots of other things. Then they went to Eric's dream place: Fantasy Hobby. All about RC cars and slot cars and on and on... lol Glad they're making an adventure out of it. As of today, only 5 weeks and two days to go.

Me... well now let me tell you. Life has changed. I get up when I want, go to bed when I want. LOL And this is only vacation!!! I decided to start cleaning my bedroom. Moved everything, cleaned all of it, took curtains down ( who know they would be fuzzy on top from dust!!!) tore the bed apart and washed all my bedding. Including the mattress cover and a down comforter that's never been washed before. Now I wasn't really sure how to do it so thought, ok, just do it. Washing came out all right, but wasn't sure of drying. You ever seen a down comforter when it's wet??? Not pretty. I dried, and dried, and DRIED it. Thought everything was all done and put all my bed clothes back on the mattress. Crawled in that night after 10pm which is LATE for me. Laying there sort of drifting off, when I thought, "I'm damp!!!" Yup, that darn comforter was still slightly wet. Jerked it off the bed and went back to sleep. Woke up at 3:30 am and thought, I still feel kinda damp. Got out of bed, and guess what, that mattress cover never really got all the way wet. Soooo there I am, drying everything. The hint on down comforters is ever ten minutes, take them out and shake the feathers out of them... they lump up. You can tell it's dry the bigger it gets! I have so much down and such in the lint trap of my dryer I think you could crochet a chicken!!! LOL Finally got everything dry and threw it all back upstairs on the clean floor because I decided to let the mattress dry! OMG, it's only my first week off! lol

Shopping today. Going to get a hair cut in a bit. Then on to mall to pick up stuff for my MIL.

Hope this finds everyone well. Enjoy the wonderful fall weather, I know I will be!
