Ah, forget it...
Jul. 19th, 2008 05:22 pmI'm not going to get everything done that I had set in my mind to do before my brother gets here.
If the house is clean and comfortable, my car is dog slobber free, and the backyard has a minimum amount of weeds (and a clean place to sit), I'll call it good. Who cares if the guest room walls are mostly bare. I'm probably the only one who gives a damn.
I couldn't resist the allure of an afternoon nap, which Reece indulged in with me. But at 3:45 my cellphone rang.
It was Sigga, stranded at the airport.
So I put the seatbelt harness on Reece (who probably thought we were going to Petsmart) and headed back to SeaTac for the 2nd time today. I picked Sigga up at arrivals, dropped her off at her condo in Renton, and came back here.
I stopped at KFC to grab dinner - one of those mashed potato bowls. Didn't remember them being so spicy before. Reece is much more interested in my food than she is in her own.
So this evening...clean bathrooms, vacuum and steam clean couch...wipe down inside of car windows and car seats.
Tomorrow...yard work.
I'll never be happy with the house. But my visitors are coming to see me. They aren't going to care as much.
