Disastrous Sunday

Normally, Sunday is the only day when I am completely free and I usually use it to relax and get ready for the coming week. however, this is a luxury I can no longer afford. But I am big on multitasking so I got some laundry going. Then I vacuumed the pool. Next, I switched the laundered clothes over to the rinse cycle. You see, I have one of those washer spin-dry units so you have to empty and re-fill the wash tub part. I set this all up and took a little break while the tub was filling. Need I say more?

I woke up almost ankle deep in water! I then spent hours mopping up until the flooded section of the house was reasonably dry. They have the strangest mops here. Not the Rastafarian or even sponge type from home, but, rather, a device on a stick that you clamp rags into. For me, this was a most awkward and tedious operation and sucked a large hole out of my day off.

Not to worry, I still had time to light the barbecue and grill my dinner. Maybe I'm not as good at multitasking as I thought!
