Quote from yesterday’s update:
Anyway, tomorrows plans are to call zippp box to see about getting some stuff. Especally mom’s hope chest. Loook into the house cleaning thing. Get supplies together. Maybe order Melaluca. Make sure mom’s number transfers to the new phone. Help Anthony with his lesson planning for the collage class he is teaching. Then I get to rest what I can, and will be picking out mom’s toumb stone on Saturday
I am compltely surprised as to how much of what I set out to do today got accomplished. I did not think I got it all done. Its not to my level of perfect, but it got done.
So last night I could not sleep, so I waited up until Mom’s number came over. It came over at about 4:30 in the morning. I am so so so thankful that was a success. I am so thankful for Shannon.
I called zippbox. Turns out that they are relocating to a new location. I expressed that I wanted a hope chest and was looking to empty out the unit. Turns out the manager that handles the warehouse is away on vacation all week next week so we wont have an answer anytime soon – for at least another week.
Homeaglow reached out to me because I have not accepted any jobs. I was able to send in my pictures today of my cleaning supplies. Though I did not picture everything I currently have.
While I was up last night waiting for mom’s number to come in I finally placed a melaluca order. Super happy about that. I got my favorite cleaning products. At least I can find a way to pay for my cleaning products by cleaning other peoples home with them.
I was able to go on a walk today but not for the full length. I was a bit dissapointed in. I came back as anthony wanted me on a business call. So I came back early, they had me waiting 45 mins longer then they told me. I could have just kept walking and finished my walk. So now I am 5 days behind.
Anthony got the call today about that job interview that gave us two hours to get there. The job he told my mother that he had gotten, as he had an email that stated that “He was a good fit for the company” and then all of a sudden said they are no longer hiring the posation.
He was completely devistated. I mean shattered. Not only was this his dream job that he got turned down. He knows he could do the job. This was the second company that strung him along just to tell him no, if he even got that.
The first words out of his mouth with tears streaming down his face was that he has to provide for me. That he told mommy he got the job. That this wasent fair. That he wants to sue them because they kept stringing him along. He is not a sue happy kind of person.
I know its because he feels like he failed my mother, our mother.
This also seems to give him the drive to make the web design company work. To do what ever it takes to get more clientele. He told me that he no longer wants to be in a posation where he has to take the job. He wants to be in a posation where he has a choice to take the job. That he wants to push being self sustaining.
After I ran out and did my errands. He cailmed down and said to me that he thinks this is a good thing, as this will give him time to get accustomed to being the teacher. That he is going to push the freelance business.
I ran out to Sams club and baught $90 in towels. I baught three things of microfiber cloths, three different colors. They say that to have one color for the kitchen and one color for the bathroom. I baught 2 packages of shop towels, once again one color for the bathroom and one for the kitchen. We use both very refquently. So at least they will be put to good use no matter what. They also had a package of terry cloth towels that looked really nice. I baught a box of 33 gallon and 13 galllon garbage bags. I baught a swiffer duster, though not sure if I really needed it as the terry cloth wipes will do the job in that department. I baught a package of sponges.
I also ran to the print shop where I got some things printed. Mainly so I can redo my journal that I seem to have lost.
I then ran to target and baught cheap cleaning products, all purpose cleaner, disinfectant, toilet bowl cleaner and dawn until my melaluca order comes in. I also baught another binder for my journal. I baught a pocket journal to write about my grief with mom.
While I was shopping I was like I need that, oh wait mom has that. I need this, oh wait mom has that. I just smiled and shook my head.
I have decided on using mom’s car for business. My goal for the house cleaning was to be able to pay mom’s car insurance. So if cleaning can pay for mom’s car, I will be happy.
So the list of things I need to gather together and put in mom’s car:
- Vaccume cleaner
- container to carry cleaning products (If I cant find, target has a bathroom caddy that will work for carrying cleaning products as well as square crates, one for spray bottles and one for concentrated cleaners)
- Container to put clean cloths in (If I cant find target has small containers)
- Crate for cleaning products
- Swiffer duster
- Gloves (Kitchen and hall)
- Mop
- Mop terry cloth heads
- Laundry bag(s)
- Bathroom wand cleaner
- Mop and bucket
- Tolet bowl cleaner
- Cleaning Binder
I still need to create the check lists for each job based on what homeglow expects. As well as what the cleaning book states.
I also need to finish bringing my posts over from my facebook page onto my blog so I can post current stuff, right now everything is being saved as a draft.
I spoke with my step dad, Dean about the idea of cleaning out the stuff and using the storage unit strickly for furnature. He liked the idea. I know dad did too and so did my counceler.
Tomorrow I pick out mom’s headstone. Worried about that. Worried about how I will react.
Anyway, it was a longer day then I thaught. Talk tomorrow!
