Cleaning Day (june 10)

So today was pretty uneventful. I did not sleep well because I kept tossing and turning. I went to sleep around midnight once my roommate arrived and got settled in. I woke up first around 6 a.m. and then I woke up like every 30 minutes after that, it may not have even been that long of an interval between waking up. Eventually after laying in bed staring out the window I just got up around 8:30a and went downstairs. For those who know, I don’t sleep very much when at school, like 5-6 hrs at most each night and I’m good off that amount. So that’s probably why I tossed and turned all night because I’d received too much sleep. Also, the darn bed is a TWIN! Lol…as I said before, I have not slept in a twin in like 2 years…oh well, I’ll get over it. So I woke up, listened to my gospel music and read a few scriptures in my Bible to get my mind right. My roommate came down around 9:30 a.m. and we set in the kitchen eating breakfast and getting to know each other. Her supervisor called and offered to take her grocery shopping so I tagged along and picked up a few items. Of course he and his wife gave her a tour of the city along the way to the store so I enjoyed that again. His talkative wife gave us plenty of information about the city, shopping, Panamanian ways of life, etc…she was very helpful. We stopped by their apartment which was also very nice and in the heart of downtown before continuing to our home to put up our groceries. I was a little pooped so I took a nap for like 1.5hrs then came downstairs to clean the kitchen/house. For those who know, when I get into a cleaning mood I truly clean. (Andrea don’t you miss me!) So I first swept the whole kitchen, office and lower bathroom. Then I cleaned all the dishes they’d left for us so that when we wanted to actually use them they would be clean and ready. Then I continued to clean every countertop/surface in the kitchen with this diluted bleach (Ajax) that I bought. I wiped down all the handles, cleaned the microwave, stovetop, refrigerator and all the shelves in the cabinets and pantry. In the midst of the cleaning my roommate came down and said she would’ve done it but I explained to her that I’m kind of anal and have slight OCD such that when I start cleaning I usually go the whole nine yards so not to worry about it. After cleaning the kitchen – oh by the way this morning before leaving the house I cleaned my whole bathroom because I hadn’t the chance/energy to do it yesterday – I cleaned the bathroom. Now, I didn’t clean the shower stall because it had some dead bugs in the drain area but I did clean the toilet and sink. I still haven’t figured out what the spray hose behind the toilet is or how to use it but whatever! lol I think for dinner tonight I’m going to have a Boca burger and fries and top it off with some ICE CREAM! I’d been going through withdrawal because I hadn’t had any ice cream in awhile so I was very happy to buy some today at the store. Well I’m going to eat now…hasta luego!

No I don't miss you. Those spurts use to come once every 4 months usually at the beginning or end of a semester. But you have since preoccupied yourself with other things such as work, so now they only come once every 6 to 8 months when you are really bored but save some of that energy for the new house.
