What the hell was I thinking???

Friday, after 2 years without washing my vehicle, I not only washed it, I cleaned all the windows, vacuumed, and dusted it.....thinking how impressed I T would be with the results when hy comes home from vacation. I probably invested 4 hours of time to make it shine (and remove the Poodle nose art from the glass).

Last night, after no precipitation for 10 days, it rained hard and long enough that we had flood warnings.

Today, it poured for 3 hours.

the windows that (I thought) were gleaming, have a film of dried condensation and need to be washed again. The floor needs vacuumed, because I've managed to track in all kinds of stuff on my wet shoes. Oh, I think I forgot to mention -- now the vehicle smells like 4 wet dogs, and 10 lbs of (forgotten) seaweed.

What was I thinking? This is exactly the reason that I don't waste time/energy/cleaning supplies on this geriatric beast. I know better.

Every time I decide to clean something REALLY well it ends up breaking

Per example: my vacuum...and I did the cleaning thing on a VCR once...and it stopped working...and same with my car(s). It doesn't pay to clean! Let there be a lesson in all this.....

True, at least I didn't take the Poodle to the groomer...
last time THAT combo happened, we had the Dismal Swamp Fire (soot/ash for about 6 weeks) an earthquake, and Hurricane Irene...

I totally get that! It's gotten to a point where, when I wash my car, the first thing my kids say to me is...great Mom, now it's gonna rain! lol

Ok to make a long story short, I got some new running shoes yesterday. So I went running this morning for the first time in weeks. Love the new shoes BTW. I got up at 4am to run as I normally do, and got home around 430. I got back from running and took my shoes off , sat on the end of the bed to take my wet socks off,(it was drizzling rain on my run) leaned back and layed on the bed for a split second . I remember thinking, should I pack my lunch and eat some breakfast, or jump in the shower first. I have no idea what happened but I woke up at 530. The very time I need to be walking out the door for work. I scrambled around and flew out the door 10 min later. CRAP WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!
