Ahhh, Spring .... Cleaning

When I got off the plane from Springfield, MA Friday night, I realized that it is Spring here at home. It was snowing in Massachussets when I left.
It's in the 60's - oh heaven! And yet, I can't go out and play. Why? It is most definitely Spring Cleaning time.

Between my seemingly never-ending travel and the fact that I'm pretty damn lazy when it comes to doing things I hate (like housecleaning), the Donovan Castle is looking pretty shabby.

I spent yesterday and today cleaning the kitchen and bar area of the house. I have moved every spice jar, saute pan and knick knack and cleaned and re-aranged and generally spiffed up what was a total mess. ( I accept all blame for this, the kitchen is my kingdom, after all!)

I'm pretty pleased with my progress. I found quite a few things in drawers and cabinets that I had completely forgotten we had. I found gadgets and appliances that should be given away because they were only used once or twice, and they were stowed away, never to be used again. They have been purged from the Donovan domain and will be given to a charity that can give them away to whomever may want them.

I still have much work in the bar area. I also have to get my clothes washed and dryed and packed for next week's trip.

I found out the other day that I am traveling significantly more than any one else in the entire group - not just my team - but a humongous group of about 200 people.

I am more billable that anyone else. I am going to do my best to make sure that I make more as a result - maybe enough that I can afford to have Merry Maids or something come and clean the house for me.

It would be really cool to come home and only have to worry about what fun things I can do - play with the horses, do stained glass stuff, pottery, etc.

I'm not holding my breath, though!
