Life Amnesty

I'm sitting in the sweltering 90 degree heat while technicians fix my air conditioner. And it's my own fault. I didn't clean the filter/coils often enough. Especially with the hairy animals we had all over the house.

What I want is an amnesty from life. No life events can happen for a month while all those things I meant to do get accomplished. Like cleaning the furnace coils. All the garden weeding, mulching, harvesting, canning, and picking fresh bouquets get done. Every inch of the house gets cleaned within an inch of its life. That includes everything out of cupboards, cabinets, storage cubicles, basement shelves, and closets. Cleaned or tossed. And all the storage things themselves cleaned. And the washer and dryer cleaned and moved. The books alphabetized and sorted. The tax and financial records brought up to date. Winter clothes get put away. Garage gets cleaned. The sentra gets its trip to the car repair.

Nothing interferes. No doctor appointments, business trips, pleasure trips, nights out, sleepless nights that become sleepy days, special events, or illness. Nose to the grindstone. All work. No play.

I figure that month would make everything else go so very much better. I'm willing to do it. Can someone arrange this for me? I think 2 years from September I have an opening.
