I probably should get someone to come by and do the dusting because I'm allergic to dust and therefore hate dusting but still need to dust. In order to do that, I need to get over the feeling that I can't justify the expense because I live in a one-bedroom apartment.

You are clearly an outlier in current society, Gud. Even you cannot do enough to really shift that average, though.

Gud is Spiders Georg!

Spiders Georg and all of its derivations are never not funny.

In order to do that, I need to get over the feeling that I can't justify the expense because I live in a one-bedroom apartment.

The expense should be proportional, right? Smaller space = less time = less money.

(I realize it's still an expense.)

I really need to hire a housekeeper, especially since we're not currently paying for a sitter, but my house is too messy to have someone in to clean.

I'm still trying to write this stupid thing, and just have to complain some more: My boss both told me that it should be written more like a newspaper article, and also suggested the phrase "innovative thought-leaders."

The frantic picking up stuff so the housekeeper has a chance effort is quite the project. But my floors would never be clean if she didn't come.

I'm sure there is a floor around here somewhere...

"innovative thought-leaders."

Nooooooo.

We have not yet got the house in order to get a monthly person in here. Yes, it's been two and a half years.

The expense should be proportional, right? Smaller space = less time = less money.

True, but Captain Logic is not steering my tugboat on this.
