Hit the Ground Running

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

I had my assistant, Nancy, in to do breakfast this morning and I took advantage of the opportunity to sleep in.  Once up, though, I feel like I didn’t sit down most of the day.  Here’s what I did:

  • Helped strip beds – my housekeeper is still fairly new and we had a lot of rooms checking out today, made up one of them for her;
  • Did 4 loads of laundry;
  • Took apart & checked the new plug on the vacuum cleaner – I’d had to replace it a week ago and I think one of my housekeepers has been using the cord to yank it out of the sockets;
  • Retrieved the “short” screens used with the a/c units from their storage place & vacuumed them, also 2 needed minor repairs;
  • Got the frame kits for the a/c units down from their storage location;
  • Went to the transfer station with Adam to help unload the brush trailer – it was full of leaves that had been sitting all winter (ew) so tomorrow I have to hose it down;
  • Helped Adam install a/c units in 3 of the bedrooms;
  • Stowed the 3 full-size screens where they will spend the summer;
  • Sorted recycling with my housekeeper;
  • Touched up the paint at the top stair where large suitcases seem to chip it every third day;
  • Did a little vacuuming in my own space;
  • Vacuumed the kitchen floor.

Oh, and I was having a bear of a time with my internet connection today so I rebooted my computer three or four times and I rebooted the modem & router, which are two flights up, twice.

I feel as if I’ve run at least 10 miles today, but it wasn’t really an unusual day…  for an innkeeper.
