Mrs. Audio's thoughts and ramblings

Tuesdays and Thursdays are supposed to be my easy days at work. Days where I don't have to do quite as much cleaning. THe problem is that Monday they moved a bunch of cats around emptying 2 rooms on the tour path. Those rooms will eventually have kittens in them, so the rooms needed to be sanitized. There's actually 4 rooms that needed to be sanitized, but only 2 that had been occupied. So yesterday morning I emptied the rooms of furniture and vacuumed all the dirt/litter/hair. I didn't get finished with that stuff until it was about lunch time. After lunch I went to try and tackle the sanitizing (I had one girl helping me for about an hour until she had to go work on an assignment). This included spraying all the horizontal surfaces with disinfectant and allowing them to sit while we worked on cleaning the windows (with professional equipment, telescopic squeegee and window sponge even). There's a ton of glass in the new building and I think it took me almost 2 hours just to get the windows done. Then I had to wipe down the surfaces that had been sprayed and run the floor scrubbing machine (which I hate). I didn't get finished until close to 3:30 and I still had evening meds to give, so I didn't get out of there until almost 4.  And I only got half of the rooms done. Very frustrating. They need a cleaning crew to come in every 2-4 weeks to sanitize the rooms. It just takes way too long for us to do them. And even if we do manage to get the cleaning done, then we have no time to work with the kitties.

Yesterday evening kind of made up for the day. I went out to Paisaino's with windandtherain and then we went to see Stardust. It turned out to be a really good movie. And now I want to read the book :-). 

Today was a bit better, although I was stuck in dentals most of the morning and wasn't able to get all my cleaning done until after lunch. But it did get done and I was able to weigh a couple rooms of cats. We also got new room assignments this afternoon (for tomorrow) and I think I'm gonna like these ones better. All three rooms are in one area, 1 quad (there are usually 4 rooms per quad, hence the name, but one of my rooms is extra big for retired kitties). And I have fewer cats that I have to medicate. It's just my retired guys now, and they're all really good. Before I was having to give laxatone to 2 kitties every day and a stool softener capsule twice a week and they hated it. I think the rest of the week will go much smoother. Although it'll be better once we all have our own vacuums. Right now we're having to share and there's been some vacuum stealing, which has not gone over well. 

Thankfully the weeks past the midpoint and Saturday's only 2 days away, during which I will relax and attend a bridal shower for homeofmyown. And Monday I will be getiing a much needed massage (this has been one crazy, stressful week). On a much happier note, the insurance check for Mr. Miagi came today. Woohoo! Now I need to schedule a time to get him fixed up.
