Stuff around the house

I used to clean fairly religiously. I had a system and used it.

Then I became a professor. I did not turn into a complete slob but I'd rather go running than clean. However, since I've gotten this new house, I've been a little more into the cleaning aspect.

Today some friends I haven't seen in many, many moons are coming to my house. They will be the first non-relatives to step through the threshold. I cleaned this morning just to make sure the place was presentable.

I kind of liked vacuuming. I have burgandy (not my choice) carpeting in the basement. You can see everything on it and it requires more vacuuming than I am used to.

I mopped the floor. That was OK.

I'm less and less into doing dishes. I'm not sure why. However, I did the dishes and cleaned the bathroom (also not a favorite task).

I wonder if I will ever get a housekeeper. I seriously doubt it unless I live with hoards of people. Which is unlikely given my introvert status.

A favorite quote of mine just given to me by my friend Nancy comes from Bar Fly. Mickey Rourke says, "I like people. I just feel better when they aren't around." My sentiments exactly.

Here come the friends. Catch you later.
