vanillafluffyThings got messy, literally, when we went over to NJ's after the Chinese buffet. Now, I make no bones about being a terrible housekeeper; I own it. But I could *hear* Kat rolling over in her grave as I looked around what used to be her house. It was filthy---and it takes A LOT to gross me out.
GK was even more appalled, after fighting her way through a sea of cockroaches to reach the toilet. She went back later, after NJ was off to her 3rd-shift job, and was there til dawn purging. GK says the place is call-child-protective-services bad, even after her efforts, because it's so buggy. It needs a professional exterminator and the services of a plumber and new drywall where the old has rotted out. It's BAD.
NJ was not pleased; apparently some papers were thrown away indiscriminately, but hopefully she'll get over it. She's been lathered up about how Bryan was supposed to be the house-husband since he wasn't working, and he didn't DO anything, blah, blah, blah---okay, we get it, honey---but you've still got kids at home, and that's not healthy.
I know my place is an unholy mess, but at least it's NOT buggy. (And no kids!!!) Thanks to GK bringing over what stuff her family didn't consume---they were in an efficiency suite with full cooking amenities---I cleared out my fridge yesterday morning. First time in ages! Not full-on scrub-from-top-to-bottom clean, but I extracted the green cheese and science projects and the like so that there's actually room for fresh stuff. Yay, fridge!
GK is returning here tonight after she gets back from Savannah, and she's promised to shuttle my cans to the recycling center in her big rental car before she goes to the airport tomorrow afternoon. Yay, cans! She's also going to help me hang my living room curtains, yay, curtains! Maybe even some of that tailoring we were talking about.... *crosses fingers*
I feel as if I've left things out...it can't be too important...now I'm going to go fix breakfast, then I'm going to start excavating cans in my bedroom, which I expect will take me all afternoon. I've already gotten two bagsful from my office.
