Busy Busy Busy

I had an interview at HB Lee Middle School on the far Northeast side of the city yesterday, we'll see what happens.  I'd like to get the job, it seems like a decent place; although I'm not as gung ho as I was about my previous interview, but I'm sure I could be happy there.  In the mean time, I've been applying to more jobs although most of them aren't teaching jobs.  I'm working on substitute teaching applications, but I'm starting to submit some retail stores too, we'll see what happens.  

As I wait to hear on jobs, I'm discovering a bunch of dirty spots in the apartment that I apparently missed the first time around.  This concept baffles me, since I was certain I'd wiped down every surface of this place, twice.  But this grime is a force of nature.  It appears to grow on its own. 

Case and Point: 
I hard core mopped the floor the other day.  I'd mopped with water before, and wiped down parts, but this time I used a combination of hot water, vinegar, baking soda and castile soap.  And the key: a scrubby sponge.  Although it's hard to see in this photo, that water was  BLACK.  So filthy.  Blech!  The water was saturated with grime.  And that my friends, is only from the kitchen floor!  I had to use four different buckets to clean all the floors.  It was bad.  


Now, this is the upper portion of the bathroom door.  Somehow I managed to miss this spot when I was scrubbing the walls and doors.  This is the mystery goo that was on nearly every surface of this place.  Let's play a fun game: Name That Substance!  


Another view of the goo.  See how it's just splattered on the door?  Gross. Gross. Gross. 

Luckily my go to multi-purpse cleaner of vinegar, castile soap and water works well and cleans it off.  

I'm in the process of creating a video tour of our place, so keep checking back to see it.
