Bathroom Cleaning Excursion

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't posted anything for the past week.  I've been sicker than a dog!  It doesn't help any that my hubby has a URI and bronchitis too.

Fortunately, I've been in cleaning mode today.  I know that last time I said that I was going to clean my kitchen.  I actually did, but forgot to take the after picture for it and since I've been sick, dishes have been piling up and it pretty much looks like the before picture again.  I'm actually done with the bathroom though.  I finally got the stench out from under the sink and am now able to do the deep cleaning that I've been wanting to do.

I'm saddened to say that my living room is no longer the nice, clean living room as in the picture due to the fact that I've been camping out on the couch.  It's not anywhere near as bad as the before picture, but there is a game of Monopoly on the coffee table with properties all along the floor and the bottom of the box holding my money and properties while the top is holding my husband's money and properties.  At least there's not houses, hotels, and pieces spread out on the floor pretending to be Legos.  But along with the game, there's also a bowl, fork, and half drank glass of tea on the corner section of the couch from me and a random chair in front of the couch with two glasses on it.  Remember that liter of root beer?  Yeah.  It's right next to me.  Empty.  For the most part.  The Dr. Pepper was finished on Sunday.

So, yeah.  Back to cleaning the bathroom!    On my cleaning splurge, I found myself faced with a nasty, no, scratch that, gross encounter.  I had lifted up the seat to clean the toilet, and wouldn't you know that it just so happened that where I grabbed to lift the seat, there was a bunch of old pee that had the consistency of baking soda mixed with vinegar.  EWWW!!!  I dropped the seat when I realized what it was, sprayed bleach on my hand, washed it off, then used soap and a scrubby brush vigorously on my hand.  I went back to lift up the seat but this time, talentedly used the toilet brush to lift up the seat then attacked the stuff with the bleach three times.  After getting the toilet nice and clean, I went to the bottom of it to clean around the base of it.  It wasn't until I was wiping up the bleach that I noticed that the caulking around the base all but came off.  All that's left is about an eighth of an inch of the caulking.  Great.  Now I have to call a plumber to fix the leak under the sink as well as redo the caulking around the toilet (I would do it myself or have my husband do it, but the landlord has stuff against it or something.  I don't really know.)

Besides sticking my hand in old urine and accidentally taking off the caulking, there weren't any mishaps with the bathroom.  That's good!

I'll post the after pictures once I get around to taking the picture.

Have a great day!
