earlier today, i did my semi-annual smoke detector cleanings....had to vacuum around the ceiling of each detector to make sure no cobb webbs, the all around the opening of each one...
all stinking 40 of them, in ALL 3 apartments, front and rear hallways, and the basement.
it took a matter of about 1 hour to do...
but setting up the power cord locations, then setting up the step ladders, then climbing them, and getting bouts of vertigo.....took longer than the vacuuming...
wife asked me to also take out the upright vac, and help do the carpeting as well
then wife took a fit of "must clean now sh!t", and decided to clean out the fridge, which i had to ferry a hot pan of dishwasher soap to her.....and i had to vacuum under the fridge, and what could not be vacuumed, i had to reverse the hose and use the blower end.....oh F-ing joy, more sh!t to clean up.
sometimes...retirement sucks toads threw a catheter.
now, i gotta go shave my head, and my back.........and take a shower
