Whenever I start to miss the house in Salt Lake, I think about cleaning it. And then I run around trying to hug my apartment. (This also works with snow: I miss it, I remember shoveling the walks, I put on a webcam.)

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I would kill for a sloped tile bathroom floor with a drain. (hi everyone!)

Iowa Bob! Keep passing the open windows.
You too!
Not sure how I ended up with Jane Eyre and Hotel New Hampshire as my two favorite books. They seem kind of disparate. And I also like Thomas Hardy, who it seems no one likes.

All in all you guys are making me lean toward the cleaning service, even though literally no one in Rochester gets a cleaning service for a semi crappy apartment!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Been a productive day so far. Took Mr. S to the flu clinic for his shot, brought stuff to the dump and are now at an indoor play area where Mr. S is running around.

A cleaning service also makes you straighten up and declutter - you find yourself going around the house the day before picking up stuff and putting them where they're supposed to be because who knows where the cleaners will put them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Laga!

What Bennett said--I don't CLEAN before the cleaners, but I do pick up/declutter before the cleaners, which is really half the battle.
Of course, I fired my last cleaners (I'd had them for like 4 years? I thought they were a little overpriced but convenient, and then they "accidentally" double charged me three times, and then were raising their rates, so...) and haven't hired new ones yet (or really even tried) and I super need to.

So, I am thinking of getting this as a treat. Maybe after I can prove I can keep this up for two months, so January. [link]
How the heck do I get this home and up my stairs?!?! Obviously people do this, but it does not seem to be a service of Home Depot. I am strong and determined, but I certainly cannot do it. I don't really think Aidan can be of much help.
