Cleaning

Okay, today's lesson is about cleaning house.

Don't.

If you have children or pets it is a zero sum game. You can clean to your heart's desire and will still be disappointed in the results.

Case in point: I have an African Grey Parrot.

I could vacuum up after him fifty times a day and it would make no difference to how the house looks before his sheet is put over his cage every darn night. Yeah, I might be able to vacuum then but he would only say rude things while I did.

You have to hear him when I am washing windows. It is hilarious. If only his noise actually cleaned the windows I would be good to go! Windows, mirrors, the coffee table. It is all the same to him. Squeak, Squeak.

However, it sorta makes my day. Sometimes.

He is funny and that does my brain good. But then there are the days that I am tempted to put the sheet back on over his cage and hope he just goes back to sleep because the vacuum gets heavy. It actually lives in the middle of my living room floor now. No point in putting it away.

Coming up soon; The rest of the animals in my life. And I promise to do a post on that rude bird. Do not have any idea where he picked it up from. He broke his "cell phone" today. I think he got mad about it talking to him.
