Sweet Swifter

 I just purchased a new Swifter! It was just too easy and the device should be here this afternoon. I'll be surprised if that really happens and I'll report on that if that indeed does I plugged my power chair in last night was a little concerned but went on good faith. As soon as I plugged in the machine the little blinking light that's on the front of the charger turned Amber which it is supposed to do after blinking three or four times it became a constant Amber glow. I read for 45 minutes then turn the light off and got situated in the bed the way that I like and then turned on my side to see if the amber light was still showing which it was which gave me some feeling of Hope. I didn't drive the charger to wear I could see it from my space in bed easily. I had to actually lift myself up and then stretch a little bit then I was able to see the amber light. Bodily I slept till 5:30 a.m. which is a great feat for me. That means I will be fairly awake for the rest of the day. And sure enough when I looked at the charger the amber light had turned green which means that the batteries are charged. With that in mind after Melissa was done and I've been showered and dressed and placed in my chair it was now time to see how well the battery had charged. The initial and best test I figured I could do would be to settle up and head over to the market to pick up a few things that I might need in the next couple days since the weather is supposed to be inclement and I don't know how much I want to be out in the rain possibly even sleep. I made the trip with the little issue at all and the battery seem to be working fine I dropped two or three points on the meter from 100% by the time I gotten back to the apartment. I was still showing about 95% charge. I don't know how much further I could have gone or I should have gone but that was it for today. I was able to get a couple rolls of quarters I wanted to be sure I had quarters for Gloria who is supposed to show up on Friday to do some cleaning around the apartment. Quarters has always been her basic need as far as keeping her clothes clean so I always try to have some. I don't want to go into it here but there does seem to be an issue of Disappearing roles of quarters from the apartment here which mildly stresses me out. Cuz that means either somebody's coming in while I'm gone and finding the quarters and not the other little stashes of money I have or it's and inside job and that kind of breaks my heart. And actually, maybe I'm not losing any of the quarters maybe I've spent them all are they been used in the washing procedure. I know wash clothes every week but I don't know if I've gone through a couple rolls of quarters. Until proven otherwise I'm going to keep this somewhat quiet and put the blame on myself for one reason or another. I have quarters now though enough to cut through next week and the week after who knows how long. Give Gloria her quarters when she shows up and then maybe get another roll or two just so I have backup and maybe I'll watch this a little bit closer…

. However I wanted to be sure that I got the device before tomorrow when one of my cleaning people semi cleaning people is showing up to do a couple hours work on the apartment which I think will be great before the weekend. She was here a couple weeks ago and complained about the swifter not being really usable she ended up taking this bottle of soap that the swifter supposed to shoot on the floor and hand spraying it where she wanted to mop. I really didn't make much movement on this request seemed a little outlandish for me I've had the thing for 4 years maybe longer but this morning I had a bunch of stuff on the floor that's dried coffee stuff in the refrigerator which has fallen down from time to time and just general dirt that my floor seems to pull in and indeed as I tried to use the Swifter the Jets might be clogged up it's kind of feels like the batteries are okay but just for the heck of it I checked on my Amazon account with a new Swiftor would be and that would be 28 bucks plus mailing which is around two bucks so it's around 30 bucks which includes the Swifter, 10 pads, and a bottle of solution soap solution and hopefully the praise of my caregiver housekeeper which is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Today! The swifter is supposed to be delivered today and it's raining and feeling like very fall outside. What a wonderful way to spend a Thursday after coffee this morning then to anticipate a new cleaning device coming to my apartment and then maybe even using it before my cleaning person gets here tomorrow just to see if she'll notice and be impressed with me taking action becoming a super cleaner- - I doubt that will ever be the case but certainly nice to think about. I would like to think I could be a super cleaner but that would probably be a post for another day when I feel motivated and inspired to take control of not only my apartment but my life in general. Perhaps it's just the fall and the weather change talking here but I really do feel better when the units cleaned up.

Now that I made the way too easy order I'm filled with kind of an excitement at the new tool coming to my kitchen closet. One of my goals is to keep the floor cleaner this next year and basically sweep and mop daily- - the mopping part might be a little Overkill but I could actually do the sweeping daily not have to wait till my caregiver is bored or my kids show up after a Sunday breakfast to see what I need and one of them always spends a lot of time mopping and stuff. It doesn't hurt me to get new tools periodically it's for a good cause.. it's for me!
