Windows

I apparently napped through an alarm yesterday. A missile landed south of Bethlehem. I am on the ground floor, which is not as safe as the basement, but much better than the top.

Today is a beautiful day, sunny and cool. I spent quite a while in the laundry room. The laundry room has two big windows that have needed cleaning for some time. In the past three years I have washed mostly just the insides of them, reaching around the sides to get what I could of the outsides. I assumed they were too heavy for me to take down.

But today I decided I would just go ahead and take them down and clean them properly, even though, as I expected, they turned out to be quite heavy. It was very satisfying getting them down without incident, and washing all that dirt off. It was also a very satisfying moment when I managed to lift one heavy window with my weak little arms and push it into the top slot in order to put it back. But then I got a sudden leg cramp, so I had to let it down again before I could get it into the bottom slot. Oh well, Al will take care of that tonight. The windows are at least half-clean now, but that's 1000% better than they were.  (What kind of math is that?)

I need to make some carrot-cauliflower soup. Sounds like a boring job, but maybe after I get started it won't be so bad. It is hard for me to imagine how some women actually like to cook.
