Hah I am so lazy I’m like “I can hire someone to clean my house, where otherwise I might almost never clean? Sign me up!” But that sucks about the mold Teppy.

It's just hard to admit there's shit we can't do, especially when it's basic household maintenance stuff.
Kristin and I have had a house cleaner for as long as we've been together and it's the best thing we've ever done. Twice a month the house is clean. It's one of the things we find a way to keep even when money gets really tight. It's not about us not being able to do the work, it's about find a place where we can release that responsibility. I think it's some of the best money we spend, and I honestly think it's a help for our relationship. No matter what, every two weeks the kitchen and bathrooms with be sparkling. It's not that it's work we can't do, it just means that we know that it's done and we don't have to ask who didn't do what.
On the mold front, it sucks, but it's not your fault. In our old place we had a mold problem crop up that was so bad we had to move out of the house for most of a month while they tore open walls to fix it. There was a small leak around the tub in the bathroom that we didn't realize was happening and the mold had been building in the walls for years. It's just one of those things that can happen in a house. We've also dealt with mice in this house, and rats in our old place. It's just part of living.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We had housecleaners who came in every other week, but then the pandemic hit. 2 cats who shed + 1 kindergarden-age kid who refuses to clean up after himself + 2 adults who usually don't have the spoons at the end of the day to deal with cleaning = one messy house.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
First shot scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, finally. What an incredible relief.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear that, Karl!

If you cannot make your own household maintenance, store-bought is ok
WROD. If it wasn't that moving everything in order to hire a deep cleaning service pretty much equals put it all in storage, we'd be getting quotes right now. As it is, if/when we eventually sell this place and move, hiring a cleaning service for every other week will happen.

Yeah, I don't know what kind of logistics the deep cleaning is going to entail. We might have to move stuff into storage and/or temporarily move into an apartment. But it has to happen, so it will, one way or the other.

We've had household cleaning help for as long as I can remember. We both work and the floors would never be done without help. Brendon calls it the reboot day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
omg I hate iTunes and their stupid library. I have had my music on a HardDrive for years, it is full. I got a new HardDrive that is bigger. I am copying it over.
HardDrive has also been off the laptop for a bit and iTunes had reset the library to the laptop drive at some point. I reset it to the correct location ANDdddddd, it cannot "find" over 2000 songs. I can find them, but even when I locate for the stupid computer the file location of song 1 on an album, it says it cannot find anymore.
SO. one my one, I click click click click locating songs.
HATES!!!
