Grace In Small Things: Part 92 of 365

1. The Palinode and I committed a cleaning frenzy that made our apartment look better than it ever has.

2. I discovered a cleaning method that effectively works the yellowish spots out of the paint on our bathroom ceiling so that I don't have to stare at those revolting things every time I lie down in the bathtub.

3. We saw another couple we know for brunch, and it was miraculously less than three months since we'd last seen each other.

4. Avocado and sundried tomato spring rolls with sweet chili sauce exist.

5. A strange man told me that I was from outer space and breathed sunshine.

Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in 365 days of Grace in Small Things.

Not to sound like Suzie Homemaker, but um, please share your method to removing those spots! :)

T, I used diluted Vim Oxy-Gel for floors and a stiff brush that I use to scrub out the roaster. It took some work, but they came off!

I was hoping the cleaning method involved a mop, because I have a bum shoulder.

#5 sounds like a wonderful compliment. Did it make you smile?

I'm going outside right now to breathe some sunshine. That will be awesome.
