Motivation

My house is so clean. Well, okay, mostly it's so uncluttered... no, wait, it's full of schtuff, so I should say instead that the clutter is picked up. Some of it's even been put in the right places.

Housecleaning team was scheduled to arrive to do an "initial cleaning", for evaluation, this morning at ten. I got up at 8:30 and started getting surfaces clear of junk. There was a lot to do. It is IMPRESSIVE what a deadline will do for me!

The cleaning people skipped a lot of steps, so we won't set up a regular thing with those folks. Except for vacuuming, a lot of the house is just as not-clean as it was before. But WOW does it ever look different! Now if I could just keep putting things away on a regular basis... heh. Wonder why that's so hard for me.

On the assumption that you're living somewhere in the Sunnyvale/Cupertino axis, let me recommend Donn [sic] Raptis, who cleaned our house in Mountain View for years. Bonus: he's extremely cat-tolerant. (Bratchild used to try to ride his push broom.)

Thanks for the recommendation! Someone who Really Knows not to let the cats out would be one worry off my mind.
