The progeny’s wedding is in 14 days. This realization has been thrust onto my priority list. I painted the wall in our hallway where the old bathroom door used to be the week before and now I have corralled into a wood craft project related to table decorations. Gingerman and I spent over two hours sanding and assembling table decorations. He did most of the sanding and I just did some touch up on the edges and the assembly. Milo wanted to help and the cat kept trying to get in the way. We managed to get 21 done which is more than are needed.
I spent the rest of the day using a Green Machine to clean the living room furniture. I also decided that the large circular light in the stairwell needed cleaned as it had been a couple of years. I have to take the stained glass in the upper bathroom down and then you can get up onto the wooden shelf and reach out and touch the light. I pat myself on the back every time I do this and don’t have to break out a ladder to get up to the light that is 16 feet in the air. There is a small two piece glass skirt that keeps most of the dust off of the light bulbs. This can be removed, washed and put back on. When it is removed it is easier to vacuum the light all the way down to the middle. It also lets you brush the light bulbs with a rag to remove the dust. I recommend NOT using a wet paper towel to do this as I got a solid 120V jolt to my left hand that was holding the light from turning as I used the right hand to wipe the dust off the light bulb and holder. It has been quite a while since I have shocked myself. I kept scrubbing the light and turning it until all of the dust was gone. The light looks so much better now. I stood directly below the light when I took that photo.
