Fear and Trembling
The reality of the fact that my brother and sister-in-law are arriving tomorrow has just permeated the otherwise remarkably thick bony structure that contains my putative brains.
Amount of preparation I have done to-date for their arrival: None.
Condition of living space: derelict.
Loads of laundry needing attention: approx. 5.
Surfaces requiring dusting: at least a thousand.
Floors requiring vacuuming: all of them.
Floor requiring mopping: two (kitchen and bathroom).
Also, my refrigerator is its usual vacant self. I haven't done a proper grocery shopping in about a month (I've been eating hand-to-mouth).
My kitchen table is currently a metal-working station. Action must be taken.
Potential humiliation factor: huge.
Likelihood that I'll spend much of tomorrow morning in a cleaning frenzy: approaching 100%.
Likelihood that I'll thereafter mend my ways and stay on top of the housekeeping: approaching 0%.
