All I have left to do is mop before I think my house is clean enough for guests. And that will take me one minute, because my bathroom is tiny and the kitchen is easy. But I don't wanna!!
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I split the difference and did the Swiffer wetjet. Phew.

I was gonna start cleaning 2 hours ago (and would be almost through) but Loki & Pumpkin needed a bed to lie on, so I had to stay still.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A car alarm was going off sporadically from midnight to 10am directly across the street from me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
One of my fondest desires is to rip all the carpet out of this house and replace it all with hardwood. I'd settle for vinyl plank--cheaper, easier, yes, cheesier, but still better than carpet. And I swear I'd swiffer every damn day. It practically takes someone holding a gun on me to get the vacuum out of the closet. My most-hated chore is vacuuming. I will--and have--scrub toilets on my knees rather than vacuum.

Our wings are not tired.
Mopping is the only thing I dislike more than vacuuming.
Ugh, aurelia. That sounds seriously annoying.

Today has been shit, but at least the Falcons just lost with 7 seconds to go in the fourth quarter.
I'm not going to post this until the clock actually runs out.
Okay, it's safe.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My folks are coming to visit next weekend, so we're starting to clean up here. This morning I vacuumed the kitchen, dining room and stairs to the top floor. Gary mopped the kitchen. The fun is going to be seeing how much I can get done in the next few days while Gary's away. (It all depends on how long it takes Mr. S to go to sleep.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We take our bright spots we find them, Dana.
Between the one cat being aggressively snuggly and the positional vertigo deciding to come back, I am not getting shit done today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I never mop. Swiffer WetJet or gtfo. And by "gtfo" I mean lie down on the couch.
I ripped out the old nasty carpet in my downstairs and replaced it with sheet vinyl with a hardwood pattern. I am so happy with it! Swiffer and Roomba take care of it, vacuuming not necessary. If I ever get sheet vinyl again, I'll spend a little more on it, but still I haven't regretted this choice for a minute. I pulled out the old cigarette-burned vinyl and put down vinyl plank flooring in the tiny kitchen and tiny bathroom, and that was a good choice too. Sure it was not high-quality, but no way am I putting down expensive floors in a townhouse I may someday be renting out.
In short: vinyl floors good, wall-to-wall carpets (probably) bad.
