I can't use Tide detergent as I break out in a rash plus it's a bit over the top with perfume but I like the way OxyClean makes my clothes smell and look. So belated thanks on both of those recommendations.edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-37831682559590411872021-04-05T21:32:08.428-05:002021-04-05T21:32:08.428-05:00You know it's funny, I've been thinking ab...You know it's funny, I've been thinking about finding someone to clean that house and never considered they may not be very thorough lol. I have a bunch of "bootleg" Magic Erasers that I've used to get marks off the wall, though I wonder if the real brand would work better!<br /><br />I've definitely been nervous about rising cases. I'm still waiting for my turn and hoping to find an appointment soon, now that I'm eligible.

They say they are worried about side effects, meanwhile eating fast food, not exercising, smoking and drinking. What also puzzles me is seemingly intelligent people who plan to get the vaccine having large gatherings. It's like they think it's over.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669046315971951442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-49140891927654829242021-04-03T09:44:56.174-05:002021-04-03T09:44:56.174-05:00Sometimes, it feels so good to just dive in and do...Sometimes, it feels so good to just dive in and do a deep cleaning, whether you have hired someone to do it or not.

But the meme made me laugh because I swear every time I think of walking a different route, the road is blocked off for construction :D<br /><br />The current vaccination discussions are killing me. I'm on an Americans in the Netherlands FB group and people are actually considering flying back to the US to get vaccinated so they can go on with their lives. Um. OK. But when you get back you can't go on with your life because the rest of us aren't vaccinated and nothing will open up until the situation is better. Also? You're going to fly across the world to get a vaccine that you may need two doses of, and that's not coming from a place of severe privilege and entitlement? I just can't. On one hand i get it - I am so incredibly saddened that two countries where COVID went really, really wrong are the first to have a ramped up vaccination program (US and UK) while we here in Europe are struggling with supply and red tape through the EU. I want to be vaccinated too. I want my life back and I want to travel to see my parents. But no way, no how will I get on a plane with the slight chance that I could pick something up and possibly have it affect my dad. Nope, nope, nope. The vaccine is not 100%. Having a negative test when you get ON a plane doesn't mean you won't pick it up or have the virus a few days later. Anyway. Sorry for the rant...<br /><br />Renée - @runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932765269385923645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-70314636258673545672021-04-03T01:34:21.246-05:002021-04-03T01:34:21.246-05:00Well done on updating the cabin at the lake!

That would be awesome!<br /><br />I don't mind not having a TV (we don't have one here in South Africa) but I do need a good wifi. The apartment here came with a cleaning service but we soon stopped that after we realized the quality wasn't very good at all.

Our hospital does a mix of both in person and curbside. Of course, masks and hand washing like there's no tomorrow. I will breathe a big sigh of relief after I'm fully vaccinated.

Ugh. It’s not my turn yet here in Virginia, so I am still staying at home — except for going to PT. I am there for an hour at a time, but the room is pretty big, everyone is wearing masks, and we are definitely at least 6 feet apart. Still, it’s the longest I’ve been inside with others .... We don’t have a cleaning service or a very clean house. I focus on the kitchen and bathrooms, and the rest gets vacuumed regularly but dusted only occasionally.
