The Cleaning Checks That Were

Here is a rundown of my cleaning check experience today:

*Got home at 4:40. Didn't need a nap. Didn't want to clean.

*Went upstairs with Ambrosia. Saw her lying on her bed. Lay on my bed.

*Suggested we take a nap before cleaning. Decided to be wise and set alarm clock for 45 minutes.

*Woke up an hour and a half later. Poked Ambrosia till she was awake.

*Cleaned for hours and hours.

*Didn't eat.

*Am hungry.

*Am tired.

*Am going to bed.

I SO hated cleaning checks. I know you'll find this difficult to believe after years of living in "approved" housing, but there are places where YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN. They don't care because IT'S YOUR APARTMENT. I'm telling you, it's the most fabulous thing in the world.

Two words:

You will never have to clean your toilet again. Well, almost never. Sure, your eyes will burn like you've been at the public pool all day every time you go into the bathroom, but you have to learn to take the bad with the good. And I say not having to clean your toilet is worth about any sacrifice--even a couple of lungs.

Either that or you could just transfer to the U, where the boys wear dresses and the dirtier you are, the more celebrated. I went there and had a lovely time, but there were no cleaning checks, I can tell you that.

Or you could move to a lovely townhome like mine and then just not clean it for like 6 months until one day you realize that you are living in squalor and getting plantar's warts from the kitchen floor. I've heard of people who do this, anyway.
