Vacuuming sucks.

Yes. Dust bunnies flee from my broom like Tokyo citizens fleeing Godzilla. I didn’t know what else to call the aerodynamic effect of an approaching broom.

Except I don’t try not to think about cleanliness, I just generally don’t see my home through the eyes of…anyone who doesn’t live with it daily and take all the filth and clutter for granted. But yeah. ONE LITTLE COOKIE…. :D

…and it continues. Today, we went to Chris’ and picked up all the carpets. We came home, had a bit of food, and set about cleaning the top floor (laundry room, master bed and bath). We took it to the point of steam-vac-ing the floors before we put the carpets back in.

We’re also brushing the cats a lot more religiously. A bit of effort daily on the critters adds up to a LOT of time spent cleaning up cat fur/dustbunnies.

Tomorrow, the main area. And I’m going to try my hand at cleaning a couple of small silk carpets.

I find myself being a bit OCD about cleaning and straightening these days. No complaints, though. At this point.

Also…"bow shock"? I assume that’s the rush of air that precedes the broom, yeah?

That’s kind of like dieting. You spend weeks or months trying to not think about food (or cleanliness), then in a moment of weakness you think, “what harm can one little cookie (or putting something away) do?” Next thing you know you’re bingeing on rocky road ice cream and Endust.

By the way, I find Endust on a dust mop is the only way to herd dust bunnies out from under the kitchen table. They’re so light the bow shock from an approaching broom just causes them to float out of the way.

P.S. I finally found a word that Chrome’s spell checker doesn’t recognize: bingeing. D.
