I had lunch with a friend, and he was telling me about the remodelling he's done in his house. He said "you gotta come by and see it" because it's all eco-friendly and stuff. So I said "fine" and stopped by after lunch. He really did a great job on the house, and he was so excited about how much he was saving on utility bills.

Anyway, it was clear to me that I could never just invite somebody to "drop in" without planning ahead. So, as soon as I got home, I cleaned the bathroom and washed the floor, and ran the dustmop in the hallway/stairs/bedrooms. This evening I cleaned up the kitchen and dusted the mantle/bookshelves; I'll wash the kitchen floor in the morning, then run the dustmop around the livingroom & diningroom floor.

There's really no excuse for all the dust around here. It shouldn't take that much to tidy up every so often. There's nobody messing it up except me.
