Every house has to do it. You gotta clean. You gotta get in there and scrub down the sink and mop the floors and clean that crap up.
However. This becomes difficult when your house is covered in filth.
That's right, virtually every room in Shiloh seems like FEMA's going to bust in with some man in a suit and a hardhat yelling, "THIS IS OUR JURISDICTION!" and start setting up Cranes and Support Teams and Infrastructure, mercilessly barking orders at some 22 year-old intern who joined FEMA so he could "help people recover" and now all he's doing is fetching coffee and doughnuts for some douchebag in a suit, soon to be so jaded by all the governmental red tape involved with disaster relief that he quits after four years, starts a nonprofit disaster relief organization with the goal of getting much-needed supplies to hard-hit areas, only to be swindled by a con artist masquerading as a ex-Peace Corps volunteer, reducing the poor man's life to a hollow shell, and as he looks back on the lie his life has become he thinks back to that fateful day when the pressures of the working world forced him into nonexistence...that day at Shiloh, epicenter of the world's conflict.
I'm kidding. But seriously. This place is a disaster. We've got beds in random places around the house, I've still got some stuff from when I moved in on the living room couches, there's beer bottles and empty potato chip bags in the basement, the sink again overflows with plates, dishes, and glasses, the bathroom's gross, the master bedroom is a disaster zone with random pieces of furniture + sherwin's shoes + other assorted clothing items lying around in there, the kitchen area needs a massive scrubdown w/mop, Jon's room has crap all over it, and the laundry room is...I don't even want to go there (let's just say we do everything in our power to transfer clothes from the dryer to our laundry bags without letting them drop on the floor), and to top it all off Sherwin's room still smells like ferrets.
It's also difficult to do Spring cleaning when SPRING IS 35 EFFING DEGREES.
So we're cleaning Shiloh over the course of the next day + 1/2, and it will be spotless. At least, that's what we keep telling ourselves.

Dude, that first paragraph was literary magic.
ReplyDelete*'Vinny and I....'
ReplyDeleteI agree with Evan. I applaud you, Nathan Mitchell.
ReplyDeleteAnd Where the Wild Things Are will be magnificent. Especially since Dave Eggers co-wrote the screenplay.
Mr. Miyagi is a con artist. Daniel washed his car and mopped his floors all under the subterfuge of karate.
ReplyDeleteNathan and I and Jon when he is there will teach anyone karate if they mop our floors.
ReplyDeletethat is correct. anyone who mops our floors will achieve a) mad ups + b) karate.
ReplyDeleteI don't think doing your dishes, etc... is actually called spring cleaning. I think it's just being clean. Spring cleaning has a connotation of organization.
