The bobbin winder of Gram's sewing machine, in action.
I have a bunch of photos up of it, now, along with various of the cats being cute.
I don't have a good overall photo of the machine, though! So I'll have to do that.

Z deconstructed the living room all day yesterday, to clean it His Way. This involved removing almost all the furniture in order to mop the floor. Good! It's the one room in the house that I had cleaned recently, but I'm glad anyway. He'd been making sarcastic comments about how grungy the carpet was, and I had answered that there was absolutely nothing preventing him from doing something about it himself, since my offer to do most of the housework while he was so busy with work and I wasn't didn't extend to jobs I didn't particularly think needed doing. I focus on keeping us fed and clothed; everything else is more or less optional. I sweep now and then, so it's possible to walk barefoot. I scrub the kitchen if it's gross. I scrub the sink, toilet, and tub if they get gross. I dust things once in a while. I sweep some more. I tidy the yard and plant things. Beyond that, if the spirit doesn't move me, it doesn't. So if it moves someone else, great. If not, I really don't want to hear about it. Martha freakin' Stewart, I ain't.

So anyway, the living room is Aggressively Clean, which is great but not my style. Now I've got to find my stuff again, what didn't get throw'd out, and remember what I was trying to do. But it is lovely. It's just a bit intense. And there's only so much satisfaction in a Really Clean Floor that badly needs refinishing. :/

The cats are a bit bewildered, too.
And my sewing table got buried, so I've got to excavate that. Hm.

*chuckle* Yeah, the cleaning bug usually gets to Dwayne before it bites me. I do my part, I'm just not quite as obsessive about it. I did reorganize our garage, but that's probably just the spring fever cleaning bug getting to me. Next, the basement! *ugh*

You should print, mount and frame that photo. It's super cool!
