just another day

[juldea]

To celebrate my new job, I paid some bills and went out for thai food with learnedax, tpau, and alianah. And cleaned the bathroom. It looks awesome, except for the tub (which is currently soaking in bleach). Hooray for productivity. I'll finish it tomorrow before work.

And yes, to those of you who know the Pixel-and-bleach-filled-bathtub story, I have closed the door to the bathroom so it can't happen again.

Off to bed now.

So, wait, you let TWO cats jump into bleach-filled bathtubs? I remember coming home from my granmda's house to Morrison hiding under the bed cowering and reeking of bleach.

And man, I thought cats were supposed to be smarter than dogs. But I never heard of a dog being stupid enough to jump in a bathtub full of bleach water.

Well apparently I'm a really bad catmom, because not only do I let one of my cats fall into a bleachy bathtub, I forget which cat it is. I thought it was Pixel...

I didn't live with you when you had Pixel and Matrix.

How are they doing, anyway?

[juldea.livejournal.com]

They're well, happy, and pretty much the same as always... Matrix is cuddly and Pixel is aloof.

I know you didn't live with me then, but if you were there for that incident in particular and you remember Matrix, I'll believe you.

i'm suprised that i don't remember any cat-bleaching.
i'm also suprised that filling the tub with bleach never occurred to me as a good cleaning method. how much bleach do i need?

One day when Rachel and I were living in Parkview, I filled the tub with water and bleach and let it set. I didn't think to close the door, even when I saw the cats nosing around. Sure enough, from the other room I heard a big splash, a LOUD FREAKED-OUT meow, and the noise of a cat scampering down the hall. I went in the hall and saw wet catprints leading out of the bathroom... So I drained the tub, got whomever-it-was out from under my bed, and rinsed her off. She did NOT like that, but it was for her own good. Poor baby.

Oh, and in response to the second question: I've only ever tried bleach twice now, and I don't think I'll do it again. Either I'm not using enough (I don't remember how much I used back then, but this time it was about a cup for the full bathtub) or it's just not good for what I wanted to do, which was remove soap scum stains. If you have success with it let me know, but I'm going to give up on it...
