Today is housecleaning day. Our former home was emptied out by the movers yesterday, NOT the repossession company... Man, watching movers work can be exhausting!

Now we want to take today to make the place sparkling clean for the new owners, and hope that when we find a home on the other end, those people will have done the same for us. Having been a Realtor for 11 years, you often never knew what you'd find when you unlocked that front door on possession day.

The cleaning shouldn't be that hard. We'll essentially run the garden hose into the house, and spray what we can, before we soak it up with paper towels. Anything above the water line will just need a quick Swiffering.

Swiffer. Boy, there's an oddball word you may not have been able to use a few years ago, without seemingly questioning someone's manhood... Now, everybody I know Swiffers. They Swiffer in the morning. They Swiffer in the evening - all over this land.

Chow for now!!
