I am totally turned on by a clean house.
Hahaha!
Ginger, that sounds awful. I am out of the loop, but I am gathering you have cancer of some type? I don't even know what type or how long you've been dealing with it, but listening to how matter-of-fact you are about horrible and invasive treatments lets me know you've been braving it for a long while. I'm sorry you have to be so brave. Stupid cancer.
I just sent my boss off to lobby on Capitol Hill with "have fun storming the castle". Don't know if he got the reference or if it even registered. Just as well.
We have a fabulous woman come clean our place every two weeks @ $80 per cleaning. Best money we spend. I'd let SO SO many things go before I'd let cleaning go. Now we'll have to find another fabulous someone in NC cause we? AREN'T CLEANING!
Mom's Xmas gift to me was someone to come clean once a month for a while. Now I have two white, fluffy, quite sheddy pets and a poorly insulated house in a windy desert with clay dirt so it's not take all the housework away but, god, the idea that the actual corners and sills will be cleaned? Bliss. Having to call people, less so but still really worth it. I vacuum and then a white fluff dust bunny rolls down the hall as I put the vacuum away. At least I'll know it's cleaned well once a month.
Hee. You and your hatred of the vacuum.
Dad got me a roomba. It's awesome. I still need to use the regular vacuum at times but for the most part I let Mr. R does his thing and think "Oh Puddin' you're awesome ".
Hee. You and your hatred of the vacuum.
It's the worst household task EVER.
YWHTEMV.
No, I vote vacuum. I'll sweep and mop before I vacuum. I'll scrub the bathroom floor on hands and knees before I vacuum. Hate.
I kinda like vacuuming. The very worst chore in my opinion is putting away laundry. Dishes follow close behind.
Watching the niece being driven bonks by the vacuum, the bathroom fan, and television static just as I was makes me think they're all the same thing - its a nasty pitch that drills into your ears like fracking.
I remember them actually
hurting
as a child. Now they are just irritating.
