Gentleman friend coming to visit tomorrow evening.  I've told him that I can be Miss Piggy, but I'd prefer that he not see how bad it can get with his own eyes.  I have is too much sandy dirt and too many dogs who's job it is to wallow in it, come inside and shake ::)  Thank God he called this morning and asked about tomorrow evening.  I'll have time to make the joint half way presentable.  Back to work now.

Only when it rains.  Then, it dries to dust.  Hair and dust/dust us my worst problems.  Taking another break before I start back.

Dishes done. Junk removed from counter tops and all other flat surfaces.  Floor swept and vacuumed.  Some Dog laundry ready to hang out.  Now to mop and dust which will make a world of difference.  Kitchen counters need Fantasticking.  Bathroom needs a good scrub and then I'll be done for today.  I can to this and that more tomorrow if I get away from work early.  The fish room (except for the tanks, of course) is a disaster.  At some point I need to eat.  Woman cannot clean on beer alone.  Then a wonderful bath.  The dirt from the house is all over my body :-[

I can sure get 'er done when I'm on deadline ;)

Been a long time, have a nice evening.  I may even get a book out of it all...

He's a beer guy.  I always keep a good selection of beer in the fridge.  If the 2 lbs of live black worm in a kitty litter container gross him out, too bad. He's a pretty earthy guy.  It shouldn't bother him.

Two more rooms to mop.  I have a Hoover Floormate.  It is a wonderful thing.  Anyone who doesn't have one needs to buy one.

He should be here around this time tomorrow.  I'll have lots of time to finish up the kitchen and scrub the bath room.  I'll finish mopping and dust my flat surfaces and then I'll hit the bathtub.  Back to work now.

Barb, I had forgotten until you reminded me :-[  I just called him.  He is slam out of his books except for the bottle tree one.  They bought him out at his last presentation.  I told him to bring the bottle tree book and sign it to you.  It has a pretty cover.  I have it on an end table because it's the right size and the colors work ::)  Otherwise, it ain't much.  I'll do better when I see him again, likely a year from now :D :D :D :D

Shit.  I've taken too much time off cleaning.  I'm starting to poop out.  I need to get back to it now :)

as long as the beer is above the worms there should be no problems

Done for today.  Dang. I can be a cleaning son of a gun when the mood strikes me.  I either need to set a deadline or have motivation.  Usually I have neither :(  The joint looks good.  I may tackle the bath room after I get out of the tub.  I'll be right there.  I think I won't be able to help myself.

The worms are next to the beer, but they're live CBWs and they like to stay in the water.  They don't crawl out.  If he doesn't like it, it's too bad.

The beer is sealed in cans. What's the problem? The worms can't drink it. That's what matters isn't it?
Happy Aquariuming,

Did you have a nice visit with your gentleman friend? Or did I miss it in another thread?
Happy Aquariuming,
