Composition of Housekeeping

Audience
- Most loved ones = They forgive when yet another project intrudes before cleaning.
- General visitor = Uh oh. Better dust the sitting room at least. Maybe low lighting would be enough.
- Dinner guests = Better get the stains off all countertops and see if those wicked no-see-um flies can be kept at bay for at least a few hours.
- Overnight guests = Uh... kitchen, bedroom, bathrooms, and shove as much as possible in closets and drawers; close office door.

Purpose
- Go to work = Kick the biggest stuff aside on the way from the bed to the bath to the office.
- Cook = Locate the kitchen and use its phone to dial take out.

Detail
- When does "dust bunny" become the furry crud-ball that consumes Cleveland, TN?
- When do windows become foggy apertures that beckon one to daydream?

Why is it that housecleaning is like a never-ending English 1 class of essay after essay on the same subject???

Okay... enough of this, I need to go finish the kitchen floor.
