TLW (The Little Woman) has taken a weeks vacation from her wannabe bank, and in the process has turned the garage inside out, and is now so clean you could put a car in it and close the door!
When TLW schedules a vacation, I try to spend it somewhere else, out of earshot of her commands. This years dedication to the garage is truly awe inspiring and it should be noted that she does these things with a dogged determination. (What does that really mean?) She pretty much did it all on her own, like a dynamo that has enough energy to run the eastern seaboard of the USA, Canada and Mexico.
When she gets started, you don’t see anything of her, she becomes a little swirl of action or motion, with occasional barks of command, but everything you do for her is done with a good purpose, and she gets good results.
Somehow, I knew this would happen. TLW has lots of nervous energy once she is charged up, and just don’t get in her way. Not being able to relax on any day, she rolls up her sleeves and off she goes. She starts off in the morning exercising her brain, usually at 4:30 AM, thanks to our dog awakening her, doing the puzzles she finds in the morning newspaper, then has a little cereal, off for a short nap, then BOOM! Like a nuclear bomb; she goes off and that’s all she wrote as she tackles a major project.
I can get like that, but try not to anymore, although I do find hard work fascinating, (I can watch it for hours) I usually like to do it alone, with no one in the house.
Today while we were eating lunch she stated: “Now your assignment is to clean the basement.” For TLW I will do anything.
