My mom got me up early this morning. Normally I would sleep later, but I promised her I would help her clean this one building. I definitely had no problem with it. Didn't like getting up but I wanted to help my mom. Especially since she figured it'd take her 4 hours by herself to get it done. I like vacuuming, oddly enough, so I took on that job while my mom took on jobs she was better at than I. I didn't eat breakfast this morning as I was feeling sick yesterday and I wasn't hungry and I didn't want to risk making myself feel ill again. A couple of hours after we got to the building and where cleaning, though, I ended up hungry and asked if pretty soon I could get something to eat. My mom was really nice and decided to go ahead and get something so we went to a convenience store and got me a hot dog for only 86 cents. For such a small price, it was a pretty nice size and it tasted really good.
We went back to cleaning and spent a couple more hours doing that. We had to stop early though. One reason was at 12 we needed to pick up my sister, plus, somehow we wrecked both our vacuums. Our "Rainbow" vacuum seemed to still work a little but the suction was greatly diminished while the other one I think was completely trashed. We didn't discard either machine in hopes they would be okay but my mom thinks the sheet rock dust probably gummed them both up and I have no reason to believe she is incorrect. With both vacuums out of commission we had no choice but to leave the cleaning job unfinished. We finished up everything else we could without vacuums then left to go to the store to pick up groceries. We ended up cleaning for 3 hours and that was with me helping, so just doing what my mom and I did would have taken her alone 6 hours. Throughout cleaning I kept finding random bits of materials and such on the floor that were obviously of no use or value to the construction workers who had been there so I helped myself to picking some of them up such as small broken tiles, unusable pieces of cove base and some strange metal disks and rings. I took these things seeing as they would have been thrown away otherwise and I figured I may make use of them. My mom even helped me to pic up these things.
We got shopping done just before 12 so we didn't have to wait too long to get my sis. We went home and cooked a pizza. My mom was eager to get my dimmer switch fixed so she started throwing breakers so she could replace it without risking shocking herself. We continued doing this not really thinking about what we were doing till it suddenly dawned on me we were throwing breakers and the oven was already cooking the pizza. Oddly, and luckily enough, despite throwing the random breakers, we managed to not once touch the one the oven was on and the pizza got done just as we were finishing up on the switch. The pizza ended up looking burned but it tasted far from it. It was actually really good. When we finished, my sis wanted to play Mario Kart I agreed but mentioned I'd like to play it in mom's room so we could be there in the room with her instead of going off into the living room and leaving her alone. This made her really happy and I'm glad it did. I wanted her to be happy. Plus, doing this allowed her easy access to the game so we could just rotate out and we all got to play that way. It worked well since some of us would be tired and want to rest a bit anyway before tackling another race.
Everyone grew tired quickly so I turned the Wii off and helped my mom make some brownies then went back to the game. Instead of Mario Kart, since no one else wished to play at the time, I played Bleach so I could unlock some characters. My sister ended up getting interested in watching as soon as she heard a character that she didn't realize shared a voice actor with a character on Naruto. I was glad she stayed in there and watched because I liked having her there to talk to. Plus her comments about the characters, no matter what she said, made the game play a lot more interesting and actually rather funny. I made a lot of progress on unlocking characters, managing to unlock, Tosen, and one or two others that I cannot remember aside from Ulquiorra whom was the one I was trying to unlock but I had to unlock a small chain of characters in order to do so. Sadly, he's not very much fun to play, and his voice actor isn't the same. My mom wanted to head to bed so I picked up my stuff and took it to my room so she could. She was very tired. I don't blame her, I was too. I felt about to die when we finished cleaning and I've just been exhausted ever since.
Anywho, I think I'll get off of here soon and finish hooking up my Wii to my TC and play Mario Kart some more. Night!
