I’m not sure that Body For Life is going to last long. What I need to change are small things over time. Remember, “The best way to start exercising is start slowly and then taper off.” Hahaha.  ;)

 

Today I tried to keep records of how long it took me to clean different areas of the houses. Before long I should be publishing things like “average time to clean toilet,” “average time to dust 3500 square foot house,” etc. I think it’s important for me to be doing something that makes work interesting, though. After cleaning the same house for months it can get a little monotonous. And if I did my work faster, I could up my rates and be working less hours ;)

Today I cleaned two houses – a four-bedroom/three-bath, and a three-room /three-bath. So I scrubbed six toilets and dusted four stories worth of house (both two story houses).

You know, I really prefer scrubbing toilets to washing floors. I never thought I’d say that, and maybe my opinion will change in the future, but it’s so much easier to get a toilet clean.

Ah yes, I have not blogged since I started my job at Harbor Freight Tools. It’s a retail tool store. It’s been OK so far. It’s a lot easier to run the cash register than I thought it would be, and some of my time is spent sitting behind the counter waiting for people to need to be rung up. I try to keep busy, but I’m going to run out of things to do back there. Last night when there was about an hour to go and there was no one in the store I cleaned off the keyboard for the register (regular computer keyboard). But there are only so many things to do like that behind the counter, and I’m going to run out of them. Ahh, well, I guess I don’t mind sitting there.

 

My back has been bothering me :( Today especially. Recently it’s seemed to get a lot better (as in, the last few months). For whatever reason it’s back to hurting pretty badly for very short periods of times. It’s almost like an electric shock (though it doesn’t feel like that) that almost brings me to my knees. But then it’s over, till the next one surprises me and makes me go “ow!”

Porter fixed my computer! He installed Windows 7 and it’s wonderful :) You can do all sorts of neat things with it and it does work faster than Vista did. It’s so nice to live with a computer person ;) I’m blogging for the first time from a new function in Windows 7 – it’s called Windows Live Writer. Hopefully it works! :)
