Something's Lacking

I realize my blog posts of late haven’t really focused on homemaking.
Foreclosure will do that, I suppose.

To be perfectly honest I couldn’t tell you the last time I cleaned something other than the shower because it just gets way too moldy and mildewy far quicker than it should. No outside maintenance, no indoor maintenance, no windows washed or floors mopped. Just the bare necessities like dishes, laundry and the occasional vacuuming. So in case you’re wondering where all those helpful new tips I’ve discovered are, I haven’t discovered any since we found out the bank is auctioning off the house. Seriously, what would be the point?

Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is almost Spring and time for Spring cleaning and vegetable and flower garden planting and such and I’ve got nothing for ya’ll. Oh, sure, I can tell you it is time to start harvesting the remainder of your leeks if you still have them in the veggie garden and plant this year’s crop or prep the beds for peas, carrots, lettuces and the such, but it’ll just be a bad reminder that we probably won’t be able to have a garden. Or I can tell you that it is time to have the vents cleaned either professionally or vacuumed out yourself, but why would we do that for the bank that is taking back our house not because we didn’t qualify for a home loan modification but because they were constantly losing our paperwork we were sending them every few weeks? Sorry for the bitterness. I’m obviously grumpy this morning.

So I apologize for not relaying helpful tips and shortcuts and instead droning on about needing to pack and house-searching and every once in a while having a pity-fest. I really can’t wait to move and be done with this chapter and progress on to the next one.
