elfs | Sunday: Cleaning, Fixing, Celebrating

I spent most of Saturday either cooking, cleaning the kitchen, or cleaning my car. In the course of moving Lisa's stuff yesterday, we had to take Yamaraashi-chan's carseat out, and discovered underneath it that the kids had spilled something sugary and disgusting. There was mold. Yuck. So I went and bought a mold-removing upholstery cleaner, applied it to the seats (and the footwells, which were just getting dirty from rainy boots and ground-in mud), let it do its magic for twenty minutes, then went back outside with the carpet steam cleaner and squirted and sucked and squirted and sucked some more.

This is just one of those things we live with, having a flag property; the neighbors get to dig up your yard, it's their easement, if they have utility trouble. His pipes sprang a leak, and there's been water bubbling up on the edge of my property for weeks, and now was the day he chose to fix it.

We made our way to Raven's birthday party, where he had all the usual amazing array of beautiful people. I'm amazed at just how much breeding this community has done recently. Kouryou-chan loves the chimes on
