Brrr it’s going to be kind of cold here in Toronto this weekend. We might even get a little bit of snow this evening. I’m sure it will melt immediately, but I still don’t like the idea.
I had been hoping to get outside this weekend to do a little yard work. I still haven’t tidied up my garden beds and prepared them for winter. If I don’t do that soon I won’t be able to do it at all.
If it’s too cold to go outside I’m going to spend some time doing some major house cleaning. As I mentioned in recent posts I quit smoking in October and by next week I’ll be a month smoke free. It’s time to start cleaning the nicotine off the walls etc!
I have been cleaning on and off since I quit smoking – especially in the areas that I sit the most because I didn’t want to smell nicotine and start getting cravings. It certainly doesn’t take long for nicotine to discolor things! I cleaned off our door and the brass colored Schlage door knob and it was amazing how much lighter in color the door knob was and how shiny it was too.
I bought a big container of TSP to clean the walls. I know it’s going to be a big job, but once we get the house clean – walls and all, it’s going to look and smell so much better in here.
So .. I’m going to be busy this weekend indoors or out one way or the other. Who knows maybe I’ll get to work outside and inside.
What are your plans for the weekend?
Good thing that you quit smoking. It’s a hard thing to get rid of if you’ve smoked for many years. I was a casual smoker from the age of 18 till 22; I guess I smoked a cigarette here and there mainly because my cousins smoked most of my friends smoked. I’m also asthmatic and hence at 22 I thought that I was being silly and have never touched a cigarette since.
