I should be busy cleaning my house from top to bottom, or even from side to side, because I have company coming tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on a quail hunt ending. My expected company is the traveling comedian in case you were wondering. He has been in the next county over hunting quail at a plantation with some of his family members for the last couple of days. This family hunting trip seems to be an annual event for him. All I know, is that he was in the deep south doing the same thing last year.
What am I doing instead of preparing for his arrival? Why I'm busy procrastinating. Did you really doubt that for one moment? In case, I haven't mentioned this before, I HATE HOUSE KEEPING. I wonder if I can just turn down the lights and hope he doesn't notice that I failed to mop the kitchen floor. I'm worried that if I do, that he may get the wrong impression. Like I am pulling out the romance card or something. I should just tell him, that my house is a complete wreck and that he should enter at his own risk.
I have been thinking of hiring a housekeeper, but I don't like people in my house when I am not home. The last time I did that, a plumber who was a friend of a friend of mine, whom I hired and left in my house to work while I went back to work, proceeded to nose around in my bedroom. How do I know this? Well, he didn't take anything, but he left the hula skirt,which surrounds my beside table, disarrayed, and I noticed the disturbance immediately when I got home. Who knows what he was looking for under the skirted table, but I know it wasn't plumbing. He was gone by the time I got home, and I didn't push the conversation, I just mentally decided never to use his services again. Another time, a friend who was staying with me for a few weeks, had company over when I wasn't home. A very sentimental piece of my jewelry went missing while I was out. I don't think my friend took it, but I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that her company did. I decided from then on, that there would be no more overnight guests or extended guests who could invite their own company over to my house when I wasn't home. This leads to my reluctance to hiring occasional domestic help.
Right about now though, I'm wishing good help wasn't so hard to find, because I could use some.
Sorry, this is all the time I have to write today. I have a #@%^& house to clean.
In case you missed my TA DA haircut mini show and tell, and wish to see it, take a peek at my last post.

Why, oh why, do I keep hammering out a bunch of nothingness? Who could possibly give a tinker's damn about my day to day going nowhere life? I feel so bad about not being more than I am. I was born with the words "BE ALL YOU CAN BE" stamped into the internal side of my forehead, and would you just look at me now. I think my analytical thinking is being stymied by my latest reading choices. I've wandered off into fluffy fiction. Not that I don't like fluffy fiction mind you, because I do. However, I much prefer being intellectually stimulated by the physical and social sciences. Oh, here we go again. I just came back to tell you that its a good thing I am such a procrastinator. My traveling comedian friend has been waylayed by a media gig, so all that hard work I didn't do really paid off. I now have two weeks to get my house in order! I'm doing the SNOOPY dance!

At one point, I had a boyfriend. Yes, me, believe it or not. I was living in my own apartment, and he had a key because I was SO infatuated with him. Anyway, I could ALWAYS tell when he was in my house without my knowledge. It just "feels" different and its noticeable immediately.
ReplyDeleteThat plumber, sheesh, I wonder if he tried on the hula skirt then put it back on the table.
Ahh... what a lucky break.. getting another two weeks before you need to clean!! If you lived up north - you could get by with the knowning that just coming in out of the cold makes any house seem nice (and bonus points when the glasses fog up).
