*phew*
I've been cleaning, praise me!
Yeah, I know. Everybody cleans. It's not - or shouldn't be - a big deal. But I am a slob and the daughter and granddaughter of slobs, and I was raised in houses that would have made a Pak'mara blench (ever wondered why I'm immune to food poisoning?), so it's never come naturally to me.
I swore an oath when I moved in here that I'd never let Black Dog HQ become like my mother's place, and on the whole, taken by and large and on my better days, I haven't done too badly. Having minimal possessions and a utility room in which to stuff unsightly mess helps. I also find the prospect of having someone who isn't my mother visit now and again is a great motivator. I have the bathroom done and I've been scrubbing those random unexplained stains and smears off the doors with pink grapefruit-scented cleaning stuff. The kitchen is going to have to be next, unless I can find sufficient displacement activity to avoid getting round to it today. Wish me luck with that...
