for cleaning and decided to share mine with you.



Monday, Ignore dishes, ignore dusting, investigate NC's strange comment,..... Baseboards/ceiling fans. We're supposed to DUST those things?



tuesday am, Ignore Water in hallway



tuesday PM, Determine that water is not going to go away, get help, rent giant carpet sucking machine to deal with water.  Leave it sitting in hallway since the water just keeps on coming anyway, what's the point.



Wednesday, open dishwaher, determine there's not enough time to put away clean dishes. Run giant carpet sucking machine for an hour. Revisit to find that the water is STILL coming, and will not stop until the neighbr's water heater is empty.  Calculate the time it will take for forty gallons of water to trickle into my carpet. Become Scarlett O'Hara and worry about it "tamarra".



Thursday, Determine that the small foil wrapped packages in the refrigerator need to be tossed.  Decide that Gladware was an excellent investment, since other containers need to be tossed as well. Determine that the water has finally stopped. Run Giant carpet sucking machine.  Calm down dog who has mortal fear of giant carpet sucking machine.  Determine that only twenty gallons of the forty have been accounted for.  

Start search for the lost twenty gallons, finding them in the adjacent hall closet, where Christmas Tree and ornaments are stored. Debate letting them dry au nautrel. Curse a great deal and empty closet.  Run giant carpet sucking machine some more.  Threaten Dog with giant carpet sucking machine out of sheer petulance.



Friday.  Ignore dishes some more, return giant carpet sucking machine to rental place. Gaze curiously at baseboards and consider calling NC to come to SC....
