I hear they’re launching a remake of Amityville Horror, and they really should have asked our house to audition. No – Ours isn’t haunted or deadly, or anything cool like that, but it does have a sixth sense…
So we’re on day seven of our spring cleaning project, making up for about three years of ignoring the little stuff, and it’s like the house is aware of the neglect, feels resentful, and is and getting back at us!
First it was the faucet in the bathroom that wouldn’t stop dripping and had to be replaced. Then all of a sudden the thermostat that died. Last but not least, tomorrow we’ll be replacing the guts inside the toilet that has now decided to intermittently malfunction.
goes wrong around here… I’m hiring an arsonist.

Don’t let the house win
With tools like the above, you packed good! One of these years I will do a spring cleaning, too

See if you can get a two-for-one special on that arsonist, and I’ll split the bill… That way I won’t have to go through the hassle of selling my stuff before the move.

I feel ya, Lisa. We’ve got a garage full of stuff that needs to be sold at a yard sale soon… I’m so NOT looking forward to that.

I was thinking … shouldn’t an über-geek like yourself have some kind of high-tech gadgets that can clean the house for you?

I have a low-tech housekeeper, but she’s become so comfortable with us that she does a very poor job cleaning. When they come up with a Roomba that walks a third plane… Count me in.
