Monday and it is cleaning day

Today is the top floor once again and cleaning will begin shortly. Yesterday was a very rainy day. It was Pentecost in the Church Calendar and Confirmation. Being online is a great experience in our modern world if you are 80 and simply are not prepared to do what has to be done to get to Church. The Church parking is difficult these last years as it is downtown and I have to drive all the way there so not going to happen. Could I go to a local Church? Sure I could but I still  have to drive in neighbourhoods I do not really know so I do not do that either. I am content with Church online. God would like it. He wanted His messages to be heard all over the with online ability they reach into all the corners of the world. 

The Pope mentioned AI today and the need to introduce it slowly - of course. One always should do that in order to set it up properly so as not to create chaos. AI is chaotic at best and requires a manager at all times. AI that attempts to be sentient will have even a greater problem because it will whine and come up with all sorts of oddities because it cares too much; if it doesn't care enough it would destroy humanity because we are sentient and care too much and do not do things 100% correctly at all times. AI will have its uses but it needs to be carefully managed to avoid chaos in the records that have to then be cleaned for use. Great job; this Pope is a very interesting individual who belongs to this 21st century for sure. 

Work for me yesterday was nil once again. I decided it was time to clean the main floor closet; wash up all the winter clothes which we should not need now that we are entering June although it is cool here in Eastern Ontario for sure. The Air Conditioner came on once so far and only because I lowered the base temperature so that it would just to give it the first on period of the year. The nights this week will be in the low teens or even single digit. Summer is not yet with us and luckily it hasn't snowed as it can do that in May. 

Today cleaning the top floor and soon I will begin with the bathroom and then do the vacuuming. The vacuum is still the Shop Vac. I am waiting for a Canadian made vacuum cleaner to replace this one which works very well but so noisy. Finish up with the dusting and this floor is complete and I will vacuum down the stairs to the next floor to be ready to do that tomorrow. 

Google has replaced the FitBit app that I know and love. Probably because I clicked on something that took me there and now I have to figure out how to get back to the old FitBit app that I prefer. I do not need a lot of colour to designate each specific area but I suspect that a lot of people might like this new version. I do not as it turns out. The FitBit on my arm is good enough and I will ignore the app until I can fix it. I can tell if I am doing enough exercise or too much so I do not use it for that reason but rather as a step counter (somewhat expensive for that) but also when I am in a particular exercise I can see what my pulse is like and how quickly I recover so I keep in tune with what I can do. The old way was more cumbersome that is the advantage to owning a FitBit - it is efficient and good readout. I charge it about every five days as all of the new gadgetry uses up the battery quicker. This is a new FitBit  at Christmas; it was a Christmas gift and one that is greatly enjoyed for sure. 

Working on the Solitaire puzzles and then on to cleaning.
