I got started cleaning indoors where it most visibly needs it.  The windows haven't been done this year yet, and I don't have Windex anymore, so made up my own solution in an empty spray bottle.  I poured into it, one cup of hydrogen peroxide, one cup of vinegar, and one cup of water, added one drop of liquid dishwashing soap and gently shook it up.  It worked so well that I am amazed; the windows were easy to clean, and there was no streaking at all.  Not only that, it left a shine that is almost magical.  I've never had an easier time of window washing.  So I went on to cleaning the window frame too. 

Then I tackled the problem of the malfunctioning vacuum cleaner.  Took it all apart, the head anyway where it first picks up dirt.  Ohmigod, what a horrible packed mess!  It's the dog hair that really causes problems, but in this case, I also discovered a broken wheel, which means the vac won't sit properly on the surface to be cleaned, so I disconnected that front part, and managed to clean the walls, tops of things, and behind things with the hose attachments only.  I called the vac cleaner repair place, but they are closed until next Tuesday....of course.  Meanwhile, I'll just continue to search the house and my mind for where I must have put that wheel when I found it....hope I didn't throw it away.

Today, I have found my squeegy head with the windshield wiper blade for doing the windows outside that are too big or tall for me to reach.  Let's see if I can get there, now that I have the perfect window cleaning solution. 

We have been watching the tv series of "Dexter" which I thought was going to be horrific, but which I am completely mesmerized by now.  The story is actually interesting!  We have been catching up, as we never saw it before, so we watch two episodes every night.  You laugh...you shake your head...you cover your eyes....you ponder.  Interesting, and the sets are so...tropical.
