Why?

Why does it take me so long to accomplish tasks around the house? Today I have spent most of the afternoon and evening working on cleaning up our sunroom and laundry room. "Sunroom" is sort of a glorified name for what would probably be considered a mud room by most. It has windows that go almost from ceiling to floor and the door has glass panes in it too...so it is quite bright and sunshiny (when the sun is shining...which it wasn't today!). The laundry room is next to this. I had been waiting till Woody had all his seedlings planted and with no chance of them coming back in. The seedling flats have been residing along the wall in this room until it was time to plant them. The last of the baby plants left the room several days ago. So it was time to sweep up the dirt that had accumulated during their sprouting season. I have vacuumed and then mopped the floor in both of these rooms, cleaned off the washer and drier and also cleaned off a set of shelves that are in the laundry room (things get so linty in the laundry room!), and washed the panes in the back door inside and out. Then I decided to open up the window in the laundry room and wipe the dirt that had accumulated between the screen and the outside. Well, in the process I for some reason opened out the window sash as you would to wash it...and there was so much pollen on it that I felt that I should wash at least that window. And, now...that I have windows that are easy to clean...no good excuse not to wash them! So got that window cleaned and decided that while I was cleaning out the sunroom that I would wash the three windows in that room. So I have washed windows today (these windows are really tall...but still quite easy to wash...do love my new windows! These windows are the easiest windows in the house to wash (even though they are the largest) as they don't have curtains...so no curtains to take down and put back up.). Since this is such a narrow room, I cleaned the laundry room and one end of the sunroom and then slid the plant table and other items to the other end after the floor dried. So there was a lot of moving and shifting of various and sundry things that I have in that room. But it is all done now except for hanging the suncatchers back in the windows and dusting off the table. I even rolled the sewing cutting table back into its storage spot in the sunroom. The plants took up the cutting table's space so I had had the cutting table up in the living room since the seeds/baby plants took up residence in the sunroom. So taking the cutting table back out there meant that I had to put away some of the sewing items that were on it. Seems that one job always leads to another. Now...I will tell you how my windows look when the sun shines on them. There has been no sign of the sun today and it has been quite chilly...staying in the 50's most of the day. It drizzled for a while this morning and then was just damp, chilly and breezy the rest of the day. Woody did do a little work in the yard. He made his weekly trip to the library and stopped at the fruit market for tomatoes on his way home (he drove). Tonight he is at a special service at church.
