The kitchen is scrubbed clean and shiny. Even the curtains have been washed. Dishes and laundry are all done. The cat has had a sedative in preparation for shaving (I know it's cold, but this place is heated and the cat hair is just out of control). I have a pile of stuff ready to go out to the garage.
Charles found Call of Duty in my collection of Xbox games, and i haven't been able to get his attention since. :(
The plan is to get this place clean enough to have people over again ...
