from beneath you, it devours
Today I spent two hours trying to de-rat poop the garage and the basement. I now understand something deeply in my soul that I did not truly understand before. I mean, if you had said it to me, I would have agreed, but I didn't know it. And that thing is: whatever you do not clean will be dirty.
God. Think about all the parts of your house that you don't clean. Under the stove. Behind the refrigerator. The cracks in the windowsills. The space under the sink. The gaps where things don't quite meet. The rot under the plywood, the crumbling of the foundations. Think of the dirt collecting there. Think of the silverfish and spider eggs and black mold waiting there to diffuse out into the air you breathe. It turns out we have never mopped the garage floor and as a result parts of it are made out of humus. There were parts so dusty I went to mop them with my 10% bleach solution and it just beaded up and ran off. Waves of spiders ran from me. I didn't even get to it all, because I would have had to move the 50 lbs of old paint cans that the previous owners left us. I am never going to feel clean again, I am never going to feel safe in my house again, and I kind of want to secede from my skin because it's been touching everything around me.

Silverfish rule in hell.

Are there people who regularly mop the garage floor, though? I mean, are we MEANT to clean these things? #AskingForAFriend

We have mutual friends and we both posted about the horrors of rodent poop in the same 48 hour period. I interpret this to mean that I need to sub to your DW. (Don't feel obligated to sub back if you don't want to, I'm won't be offended.)

(Um. That's on y'all being blog friends, not on rodent poop. Fuck rodent poop.)
