SIGH, CLEANING


Amanda has decided that today we should "spring clean" the cabin.

Great.

I have been assigned sweeping duty. She's on the opposite end of the cabin dusting. I'm not doing very well with it. Nevermind wherever I sweep she seems to cover it again with dust from the table of lamps.

Maybe I should suggest she do all of the dusting and then I come through and complete the sweep? No, that would only get me yelled at.

I remember this Abott and Costello routine is one of their movies. Oh, I can't remember the one where they are on a college campus, and all girls college. I remember the college name: Bixsby. At any rate Lon Chaney is the boss, and he makes Bud and Lus clean this room. And Lou is assigned the job of sweeping. He sweeps OK, but then he can't decide where to put the pile. He decides to try to sweep the pile up the floor rug. He lifts up the corner of the rug and there is a message:

"NOT UNDER HERE!"

No matter which rug her tries to sweep it under he still gets the same message. Amanda is eyeing me curiously as I peek underneath the floor rugs

amanda, amanda amanda...the proper way to clean is to sweep all of the house first..then go back and dust...tsk tsk...but first you must have some dandelion wine, about a 1/2 gallon should do the trick..then if your sweeping and dusting doesnt work out..well, you'll be to drunk to give a fuck...

I had a 6 inch wide recessed "drain trough" installed in my cabin recently, and when I need to tidy up I simply hose all the "clutter" into it where it drains into water for the "plants and herbs" that my Mexican maid/cook/concubine Joda (pronounced hoe-duh) tends diligently when she is clothed. It's tough keeping the goats and the chickens out, but hey, this is life in the outdoors, eh?

Joda is also expert in the art of wine and moonshine distillery, you will have to come see me and we will build a treehouse/deer stand/ bar deep within the safest part of my "hemp acreage". Joda and Amanda will get along famously, they can both climb trees and field dress wolverine, nothing like good old wolverine gravy with your biscuits.
