TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVES

Today is deep clean Friday. It is the day that everything that did not get spiffed up through the week gets it today. Ya know, the toilet, whirlpool jets, furnace filter, the back of the dryer and the faucet screens. I actually love to clean finding it quite soothing.(Note: type-A personality) The past four days the outside temperature has ranged from a low of 11 to a high yesterday of 74 degrees. Yep, in Missouri the temperature gauge can switch faster than a menopausal woman. I also love to work outside in my many flower gardens of which I am quite addicted to. Today's forecast calls for 80 degree weather and it's deep clean Friday. What shall I do??? I started this morning inside like a wild woman with the cleaning and laundry. Running around like a Tasmanian devil, I set timers so I could fill the tub..whrrrr...to clean while I dusted and picked up. As the tub ran the washer filled and I ran the vac. You get the picture, exhausted by 9:30 I headed out to the wonderful warm sunshine where I weeded and burned, raked and carried. What a wonderful day I've had. This afternoon I plan to dig the old 'kini out of winter storage, put it on my white anemic body and lay out to catch some rays. Who says I have to make a choice? I choose BOTH. At 80 degrees this is something I must do because the weatherman is calling for snow on Thursday and there will be another deep clean Friday.
