Statement

I begin just after midnight. First, gathering both vacuum cleaners in the house. The Shopvac is kept in the basement along with a collection of six attachments. Tonight I will only need the extension hose, and the modified detailing tip. The Hoover Wind Tunnel is stored in the office upstairs. The bagless catch is empty, and as I make my way up the stairs I remember recently bleaching the hoses and filter. I am home alone, and proceed knowing I will not disturb anyone. Next I begin running warm water into a white plastic bucket. One ounce of bleach is added and I immediately shut off the water. I precede upstairs to change out of my black jeans.
There are twenty-eight cupboard doors and six pullout drawers in the kitchen. I will begin at the top by systematically removing the contents of each and temporarily storing them on a small plastic table that I've placed in the center of the room. There are six types of flour in the cupboard to the right of the sink. Many of the bags were not sealed properly and a mix of coconut and almond flour coats much of the bottom shelf. The Shopvac will easily take care of this issue, but I will have to spend an unnecessary amount of time finding secure packaging and relabeling the contents of each. Once complete, the flour is placed back into the cupboard; properly labeled and color-coded with the darkest flour on the bottom. Canned foods are alphabetized and faced forward. The tallest cans are placed on the left most side, and the shortest on the right. Plates and bowls that I notice are being used less often are placed higher and more out of reach. The three dull pencils in the junk drawer are re-sharpened in the basement and placed back into position.
I begin with the Hoover, switch to the Shopvac, and finally finish with the Hoover to complete the cleaning of the floor.The Hoover's bagless catch is emptied but not totally clean. I will make a mental note. The faucet position is placed perpendicular to the edge of the granite countertop. I lower my body slightly to check for water spots on the counter and notice that I have forgotten to properly clean the power outlet cover nearest to the stove. I retrieve a headlamp from the junk drawer and return the Shopvac back to the basement. The kitchen breaker is turned to the off position and under the glow of the headlamp I finish cleaning a small splatter of olive oil off of the outlet cover.
I also make paintings.
