Dear Diary,
I awoke at 6 AM. I wrote my blog and Angel woke up before I finished. I made her breakfast and made myself tea and a smoothie. Then I made almond milk and juice. The juice had pineapple, apples, oranges, blueberries and strawberries. Strawberries were on sale at M&W and I had bought a whole bunch to juice. The juice turned out super yummy.
I cleaned up the kitchen and made myself tea and a smoothie. Angel left to go to jujitsu and I walked next door to clean for my neighbor. I cleaned for an hour vacuuming her house and taking with her. When I finished, I walked to the thrift store and found some poster board I can use to make signs for the farmers market.
Angel was home when I got back. I made her lunch, then we went to McCall to do a couple of cleaning opportunities. We listened to Nancy Drew on the drive. Angel did get schoolwork while I cleaned. When I finished, we had some free time before I needed to be at my next cleaning opportunity. So we stopped at a little restaurant and got some food. We sat outside and ate and enjoyed the sunshine. I had been hot in Council but it was in the mid 60’s in McCall and felt chilly out, so sitting in the sunshine felt great.
We ate and went to my next cleaning/organizing opportunity. I worked alongside my client organizing and cleaning while Angel played with her 7 year old daughter. The girls had a lot of fun playing together. I ended up having a crockpot fall on my face when I was attempting to put it on top of the fridge. This is the second time in my life that I’ve had a crockpot fall on my face and it’s been within 3 months of each other. Last time it happened, I ended up giving myself 2 black eyes, this time I just got a big bump on my forehead and broke my glasses. (Note to self…avoid crockpots on top of refrigerators).
It was late by the time I finished. It was 8:30 PM when we got home from McCall and I was tired. I looked through my spare glasses and found a pair that I mostly liked that I could see out of good. My eyesight has improved over the years, so a lot of my old glasses are too strong.
Angel and I each took a shower. I talked to Aaron on the phone briefly, then I read Angel a chapter from a Nancy Drew book. We got into our beds and I wrote my blog notes before putting on a sleep meditation. I drifted to sleep at 10:30 PM.

Dear Diary,
I awoke at 6 AM, I wrote my blog until it was time to get ready at 7 AM. I made Angel breakfast and made myself tea. I took a long hot shower and did some stretching. Then I got dressed and walked to M&W to refresh my gratitude sign. I took a picture and wiped it clean to be ready for the new days gratitudes.
When I got back, we drove to Cambridge to do a couple of cleaning opportunities. My client seemed unhappy with my work and had me scrub down her shower again after I had just cleaned it. She wanted me to get some hard water iron stains out of the shower floor but I had already worked on those stains several times and they are permanently imbedded in the fiberglass. I showed her that those stains wouldn’t budge by scrubbing at them using an iron remover cleaner. She still didn’t seem satisfied but I know that I go above and beyond when cleaning her house and I am satisfied with the great job I do. I’ve been thinking about no longer cleaning for this lady, especially now that my schedule is overwhelmingly full. She just doesn’t seem happy with my work and it appears that we are not a good fit. I don’t mind clients telling me I missed things while cleaning but I do prefer to be talked to as an equal.
The negative energy in the house affected Angel and she began arguing with me about her schoolwork and I felt myself getting frustrated with her and argue back. Oh boy! In the middle of cleaning, I switched to cleaning my clients daughter’s RV while the family ate breakfast in the house. It was nice being out of the house. It was peaceful in the RV and I got it nice and clean. When I came back over to finish cleaning the house, the energy was still zapping. I’m not sure what was going on with my client but I was glad when I finished up and got out of there.
When we got back to Council, I did another cleaning opportunity and enjoyed chatting with my client for a few minutes when I finished. Then I stopped at my friends house where my garden beds are. I watered them and grazed on ripe strawberries in the strawberry patch.
Back at home, I walked to the bank and cleaned it. Then I chatted with my neighbor while grazing on her strawberries. Yummy strawberries everywhere!! Angel and I bicycled over to my sisters. My nephew Christopher was in town visiting for a couple of weeks and it was good to see him. He went on a walk with me to where my garden beds are so I could put the automatic sprinkler in a different spot. It was a nice walk and I enjoyed spending time with my nephew. We had a great conversation about meaninglessness and how we tend to search for the meaning of things but maybe there isn’t a meaning and can we be ok with that?
We walked to my apartment and I showed it to Christopher. Then we walked back to my sisters and said our goodnights. I got my bicycle and rode home with Angel. We got ready for bed. I stretched while Angel read me a story. Then I read her a chapter from a Nancy Drew book and we got in our beds. I wrote my blog notes and went to sleep at around 10 PM while listening to a sleep meditation.
Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of my life. I appreciate you.
Love, Victoria
