It’s the last day of November, isn’t it? One of our winter chores—cleaning the windows—is almost finished.
Yesterday we even had a little quarrel about it. He cleaned the kids’ room windows very quickly, even though that room has the most windows in the house.
I hadn’t realized that he had never cleaned the outside surfaces because he thought it was dangerous.
My idea was simply to clean as far as I could reach, sitting on the window ledge.
But he said there was no point in doing it halfway.
Now, though, he gets unsteady when he stands on a chair, so cleaning the windows is a bit difficult for him. So I just cleaned the parts I could reach.
I think it’s enough that we did it, even if it’s not perfect.
Today was supposed to be his tennis day, but he cancelled. These days he only plays one game, and since the group is small, he felt that playing just one game might trouble the others. He sent them a message saying he’ll join when he feels well.
In a way, it feels like he’s stepping back from the group.
