The local cleaning service that donates their time to "Cleaning for a Reason" came to our house today... four smiling young people dusted, vacuumed, scrubbed and did other arcane things to rooms I haven't been able to thoroughly clean in three years. The dusted our bookshelves - anyone who has been to our house know what a chore that would be - then even washed dishes I'd meant to get to before they arrived and dumped all the garbage containers. I was embarrassed that it took four people three hours to do what they did. They were very thorough. The house smells so much better, and I swear the air is lighter somehow. Probably the absence of dust.

The vacuum cleaner they used was the weirdest neat thing. It was a backpack. I was transported to "Ghostbusters" for a minute but that only made us all smile the more. I'm sure they've heard every possible reference to that movie by now.
