Thank you Shane! Shane And The Flowers


 Thank goodness for Shane! When he entered my condo he immediately noticed that the petals from my flowers had fallen and had scattered everywhere. He immediately went to work.  

He picked up the messy heaps of flowers and deposited them in my garbage.

I probably would never have known until I went to check on my flowers, a birthday bouquet from Richard and Jane.

Not for me! Not that mop

 

There are mops and then there are mops and after much thought the best one for me is the spray mop.

I find it very challenging to use a mop and pail. This is the one where you fill the pail with water, then place the mop in the mechanism and squeeze the water out after dunking it in the water in the pail. The pail is just too heavy for me to maneuver.

So, at the end of the day it is the spray mop for me.

What a disaster! When the honey spilled

One minute it was in my hand and the next the bottle had crashed onto the floor. Thankfully, pieces of glass had managed to remain in a small space on the floor.

I painstakingly did my best to gather up the shards. But I needed Stephie’s help to finish the job.

Mess? It could have been much worse. Being more careful? Definitely!

Thank goodness for Lilly! Cleaning the kitchen cupboards

I have to admit that cleaning kitchen cupboards is just not one of my favourite tasks. I am very good at keeping the doors clean but when it comes to shelves I am very guilty of procrastinating.

I am just concerned that I might drop something when removing things, just like any other person.  And as a person with vision loss I am extra careful when doing this.

So how do I get around this?

Well, my Super’s wife, Lilly, is my answer. This marvelous lady comes to my rescue.

She is thorough, puts things back in their place and I never need to worry about finding things after this.

Careful as she goes! Cleaning up a spill

 

This is no joke!  I really do not look forward to cleaning up those unexpected spills, big or small.
For the most part I can find them and clean them up but truth be told I am always fearful that I may have missed something.

Cleaning up glass or liquid is the most challenging for me.  Next comes those sticky spills.  However, I will say that all spills are often a challenge for me. Big, small, medium sized, on the counter or on the floor.
Ah, yes! Cleaning up spills!

Much appreciated: A clean fridge


And this is exactly what I came home to after my trip.  A sparkling clean fridge, thanks to my Super, Nick, and his wife Lilee.  The shelves were so very clean and the fridge was so well and neatly repacked; just the way that I had left it.  

No need to fuss about knowing where to find anything.  Just something less for me to worry about.

Oh boy! My cluttered kitchen counter

 

One way to put myself in a frustrated or confused mood is when I inadvertently clutter my kitchen counter. I need to be able to find what I need in quick time and as a vision-impaired person it is even more important for me.

If I am not well-organized or if I misplace items or forget where I have put them then I am in big trouble.

So what is the solution here? Keep my counter uncluttered.
Easier said than done but I’ll keep on trying.

A huge relief: Cleaning out my storage closet

 


Oh, what a relief for me!  This was something that I had been planning for a long time now and thanks to Stephie and Mom, it is finally done.  Everything is very organized.  I could not have done it without them as my sighted assistants.  It took a few hours but now all is tidy, neat, and very organized.  

At least I can find what I am looking for without too much difficulty.  One less thing to worry about.

A necessary evil! Getting ready to clean the storage closet

 

My storage cupboard was cleaned several years ago; too many for me to reveal but the time had come to do another cleaning.

That is, to throw out unwanted things, rearrange things in a logical order, and use those utility cartons from the Metro Supermarket to arrange and store various things.

It took Mom, Stephie and me about 2 hours to get it all done and at the end of the day?  The storage cupboard looks much better.  More orderly, much less cluttered, and I can find what I am looking for much more easily.

Hopefully I’ll keep my storage cupboard tidy and in good order for a very long time.

The good times! Cleaning mom's kitchen island

I really enjoy cleaning Mom’s kitchen island.  Twice daily, I run my fingers across the surface of this island and it is enough for me to take a damp cloth and wipe it thoroughly.

I am not sure as to whether or not I am extra attentive to dust on surfaces due to being vision impaired. I am willing to confess that it may be so.

I just do not like to feel dust under my fingers.  And I will also say that there are several sighted folks who do not like to see dust on surfaces.  So, in essence we are both alike; I do not like to feel dust and they do not like to see dust.

It was about time! Cleaning out my office

 

This was a task that required me to be quite a bit more careful than when I cleaned out my clothes closet, and why?

Because in the case of my office I needed to discard the most appropriate documents, making sure that I did not throw out my most recent ones. My file folders have always been meticulously arranged but I still needed to make sure and labeling in Braille sure helped.

In the case of the unwanted equipment, this was much easier as I had a good idea what I needed and wanted to discard.

I did not do this chore for several years so it was quite interesting to see what I needed to discard.

So, now all that is left is for Mom to help me rearrange the photos and certificates on my wall.

It had to be done! Cleaning out my clothes closet

 

This has been an annual event for me and has taken place at the Canadian Thanksgiving time.  However, with Covid I had to put it on hold.

I’m back now and in 2022 I did more than just a clothes closet clean out!  I extended it to my office and, after all was said and done, I got rid of 9 boxes that included clothes, papers, and some old office equipment.

I have usually done this with Mom but for this grand event she was not with me.  So, I had to make darn sure that I was discarding the clothes that I really wanted to discard and not otherwise.

Thank goodness that I have always arranged my clothes closet very meticulously so as to know which clothes I am putting my hands on at any given time.  This made it easier for me and things went very smoothly.

In the case of my office discards, same thing here and all together it took me two weekends to complete the job.

What a mess! When the ginger slices fell

Yes, I heard when the container of ginger slices fell and then the fun began.  The lid came loose and clattered around on the floor.  Then, some of the ginger slices spilled out of the jar.

I managed to find the lid but locating the ginger slices was another story.  They scattered themselves around and I had to spend several minutes finding them.  The worst part is that they left ginger crystals on my floor and I had to get down on all fours with my hand broom to sweep them up.  

Even so, I had to repeat this process a few more times before I cleaned everything up.

A must do! Time to clean out

 

Ah, yes, and if I do not do this often enough then I am in huge trouble with myself.

I consider myself to be very organized but whenever things start to feel cluttered then I know that it is time to clean out.  This is what happened a few months ago.  

I decided that enough clutter had accumulated in my clothes closets and in my office.  So, I gathered up my strength and energy and attacked the task with as much gusto as I could. And at the end of a few days, it was all done.  Old and unwanted things were piled into boxes and thrown out.  Unwanted clothes were given away to charity.  Old papers were shredded and my office was cleared of clutter.

It sure made me feel better and refreshed.

Sad but true: The cleaner’s lack of commitment

 

It is always hoped that whenever one hires a cleaner to help clean one’s home that the said cleaner will be committed enough to ensure that a thorough job is done.  And for me, who needs sighted assistance to ensure that all corners, nooks, stains, and spots are properly cleaned, it is so very important to be able to depend on a cleaner who is committed to cleaning.

Most of the time I have been extremely lucky with my sighted assistance.  My Super, Nick, is one of the best but alas!  I have run into others who do not always complete the task.

So,  I do the best that I can and I am always thankful that whenever I find a dependable and committed cleaning assistant, such as Nick and his wife Lili, I am very grateful.

Oh, my gosh! When the powder became a real challenge

This is exactly what happened when I went to clean out my bathroom cupboard!  I completely forgot that a few months previous my Super had placed some powder in my bathroom cupboard for those inquisitive and roaming roaches.  So, when I went to sweep out my cupboard I ran right into the small heaps of powder.

The first sign that trouble was ahead was when I heard the sound of a crunch under my hand broom and when I put my hand under the hand broom to check things out, well, the rest is history.

I quickly discovered that it was powder and for the next frustrating half hour I had to painstakingly spend time picking up the powder using various methods.  The hand broom and dust pan, paper towels, and more.

The lesson for me here is that when cleaning out my cupboards, I first need to thoroughly check out the bottom of the cupboard before starting to clean.

For a sighted person, they would have seen the small heaps of powder and they could have avoided my dilemma.  So, for me, I have to be more careful.

She works well but she is very heavy! Mom's wayward mop

 

This is probably one of the funniest things for me each time I visit Mom.  It is all about her mop and its ability to give me a hard time each time I pick her up to mop Mom’s house.  

I just do not know how many times Mom has trimmed her strands but trust me when I tell you that she is still very heavy whenever I pick her up.  With water dripping from her and me struggling to keep control of her, I am just too tired to argue with her whenever it is mopping day.

True it is that she mops nice and clean and I am able to get the job done quickly, but alas!  I have to exert a lot of energy to push and pull her and then finally to pick her up and put her into the mop bucket.  Thank God that she is not a real person, eh?

Homey never the less: A dusty kitchen

 

That’s the beloved and welcoming kitchen of my mom!  Dusty but very warm and welcoming.

Almost twice daily I need to wipe down her island and then make sure that the drainboard of her kitchen sink feels clean.  Next, I tackle the handles to her fridge and finally I wipe down her counters.  

For me, I love doing it but for Mom, she has grown so used to it that it just does not bother her!  Whenever I touch anything, I really like to ensure that everything feels smooth, clean, and without dust.  It is the same for me in my home.  

Am I a nitpicker?  I hope not!  Just someone who really does not like to feel dust under my fingers.

Tedious times: Cleaning the kitchen

The pandemic has made me work ever more diligently to ensure that my kitchen is cleaned more than regularly.  So, what do I do?

I sweep my floors more often. I clean my dressers and cupboard with a homemade mixture of bleach and a gentle disinfectant. I do the same with my stove top, my microwave, and my toaster oven. My sinks are also more than regularly scrubbed. Garbage is taken out more than regularly.

Hard work but it gives me peace of mind. I'll probably retain this process well after the pandemic is over.

Tedious but necessary: Tracing the spill


 I can honestly tell you that when it comes to tracing a spill of any size, it is not much fun for me.  I need to ensure that my mind is crisp, clear, and just ready for any surprise.

The first thing is for me to identify that there is a spill somewhere close by.
Next, the challenge is for me to locate it.
Next, to determine if this is just one spill or are there any other associated spills close by.
Then, to determine the type of spill: dry, wet, soft, hard, or crusty.
Then, to get to work to determine the best way to clean said spill.

Not much fun for me but just another fact of life.
