Happy Winter Solstice

 

What a remarkable day. As always I'm totally excited on the solstice or the winter solstice that is. The mere thought that from this point forward the days will be getting longer are the hours of daylight will be getting longer till that fateful day and June. Right now June feels a long way off so I've just excited. I spent the great day with my granddaughter, Jasmine. Sunday morning so we went to breakfast Marc Anthony and Jasmine and myself over at our little restaurant where we had good food and good conversation. For some time this week Jasmine isn't telling me she'll be coming by the apartment to finish decorating for Christmas as well as cleaning up the apartment. She also indicated that the apartment cleaning would be my Christmas present for this year which of course no present is needed but I'll never say no to some apartment clean up. We had our usual breakfast and conversation and we finally broke up to get off on our way. Mark had things to do and Jasmine met me at the apartment complex and we started the cleanup. I really didn't know what to expect maybe picking up a few things maybe sweeping up a little bit here and there and maybe washing some dishes but the girl really dug in I couldn't believe it. I didn't check the clock for sure but it must have been around 10:00 a.m. when the girl came over and she didn't leave till like 6:00! That's p.m. she brought in a box that have been mailed to her and it was actually a kit for cleaning up. I had a mop bucket and a mop that folded out plus soap and all kinds of little brushes. Jasmine went to work on the cupboards and the shelving with these little brushes and some with special tips that was built to get into the crevices of the cracks of the building of the cupboards the shelving it was amazing I've never seen such a thing. She washed all the outsides of all the cupboards in my kitchen then going around all the nooks and crannies with these tools getting stuff out of the cracks. Then she worked on the countertops totally soaping up and washing down over and over again till they were really smooth. She must have spent an hour on the stove itself washing scraping pulling dirt off of the greased on stove top till smooth and shiny just like new. She wash dishes pots and pans front of the refrigerator and then mop the floor not once but twice with the specialty mop and wringing out device. We didn't stop to eat or anything we talked a lot then towards the end I'd got myself worn out just watching her work and I was quiet. Finally however she finished all the floors then we packed up her stuff and I rolled with her out to her car she jumped in and sped away. I almost hate to do anything now because I know I'll just start making things dirty again after all they don't call me Mr entropy for nothing
