Happy April Fool's first of all but that's not why I'm writing a journal entry. I'm here to tell the tale of my very adventerous day at work on Dauphin Island!
Ok, so as most of you know I clean houses on the beach and everyelse on the Island? Right? Yep. Well the FIRST house I cleaned today..it was ok. The ceiling was falling to pieces so I had to clean that up in the bathroom. Well, after I cleaned everything, I went to vaccuum floors. Logic enough but No! There WAS a vaccuum cleaner, but it didn't WORK! Needless to say I was stuck sweeping the floors..CARPET floors. Indeed, there was dog hair everywhere and the house isn't suspose to allow pets but whoever stayed there had one. Well, of coarse I was covered in dog hair and as we all know it feels disguisting. Well along with the dog hair that was dead cockroaches in various places and just about all of you know I'm SCARED TO DEATH of roaches. I freaked out every minute of picking them up...
>.<
Ok, so onward!
The SECOND house was alright. Very pretty house and it's called Jubilee. Went in the house cleaned it and was through quickly..BUT! Once again, I went to get the vaccuum cleaner in that house and to my unamazement..COULDN'T FIND ONE! By this time I was furious, let's face it. Cleaning a house after people who've been there more than a week isn't very nice. So once again I was sweeping floors of various textures. Very annoying. By then it had started raining and the window's were rolled down in the Jeep. Me, I grabbed the keys and was on my way to go roll up the windows when I was faced with my mortal enemy...OPEN WATER!
That's right. The water had come up underneath the house (under the stairs). I was on the verge of crying and it was beginning to storm when I sucked up whatever emotion I was feeling, took off my socks, shoes and rolled my pants up past my knee's and waded into the water. Let me tell you right now, the water was cold, icky and salty! To top it off it was up to my knees and I was sinking in the wet sand and the wind was blowing easily at 15+ miles an hour.
Once I had rolled up the window's in the Jeep (after trying for many minutes to figure out which button it was and which key) I once again made my way through the water, rain, wind, sand and so many other fruitless things.
When I got back up the stairs and into the house I was literally shaking from the cold and I was soaking wet. So I sat by the gas fireplace and TRIED to warm up but I couldn't sit long because I had to finish work.
When the house was clean spotless, I was met with task of wading through water with my work supplies..not at all easy. Got in the Jeep and went to my work's office. Once there, I was still barefooted, cold, sandy and wet. Not thinking I got out of the Jeep and stepped onto rocks. Ouch! I practically hopped all the way to the door and gave the key back then hopped back out into the Jeep.
Happily enough, nothing else had occured.
Now, I sit here (after returning from the mail). My game came in I've been waiting to play. Prince of Persia. Well my Uncle saw it and snatched it out of my hands and there (behind me) he sits and plays MY GAME that I waited so LONG FOR.
God today has a very funny sense of humor with me...why? I've been good. But then it was brought to my attention awhile ago that it is April 1st. Smacking myself upside the head I felt beat.
So. Happy April Fool's to all!
