Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty.

I just performed one of the most disgusting cleaning tasks, which was removing months of layers of dust and grime from the kitchen ceiling fan. I couldn't even get it totally clean because it was too high up and at one point I suddenly got a burst of vertigo and nearly fell over. It scared me enough to deem the project "clean enough" and I got down. I have weeks of clean clothes to put away and mail to sort and papers to put away, but all I want is to ride my bike to shady patch of grass and read a book.

aw thanks. you know, i was totally trying to use the regular swiffer for the job, but i couldn't get the damb blades to stand still, so i ended up using the swiffer with my left hand to keep them from spinning and using a regular feather duster with my right hand while standing on my tip-toes. a classy operation. and frankly, the fan is so dirty, no ammount of swiffering in the world would work -- it needs a real sponge and real cleaner.

but maybe with a telescoping wand too.
