Okay, within days following my last post I was rushing DH to the ER for a 7 day stay with pleurisy, pneumonia and a shocking revelation that he has type 2diabetes. Day 17 today and for the first time he actually drove and walked around outdoors. I guess you'd say that not only was my house upside down but now our lives are upside down as well with this new lifestyle change.
Everything happens for a reason and not only did DH and I both quit smoking cigarettes but now I'm more determined than ever to get this nicotine film off of my walls and surfaces as well as the smell in everything. I did manage to deep clean my SUV headliner, seats, carpets and glass as well as changing out the cabin air filter and placed tins of ground coffee to absorb any lingering odors. I tackled my breakfast area, dining room and entrance using TSP to remove the nicotine from the ceilings and walls and steam cleaned the upholstery. I'm working on the master bedroom as well. I've rewarded myself with new window coverings, wall hangings, new bed linens and décor makeovers for each room. Now this makes decluttering very rewarding. Out with the old, cigarette smelling and worn and in with the new and fresh to welcome spring. LOL
