A friend asked me to take care of his cat while he was out of town for almost two weeks. I thought it seemed easy enough even though it takes 25 minutes to get to his house. I didn’t have to go every day. The first day I had to fill up the cat’s water bowl, but it was so dirty that it had to be cleaned. The sink was too dirty and full of dishes to clean the water bowl, so I had to wash the dishes and scrub the sink. The next time I checked on the cat it was quick and easy. The third time I had to use the bathroom… but the toilet and sink were so dirty I didn’t want to touch them, so they had to be cleaned. The bathroom was rather gross. It was so dirty that I didn’t think the toilet and sink would be clean, but guess what? They are nearly new, and the dirt hadn’t stained yet. Amazing! I had been to his house for parties (bathroom looked the same), so I thought the fixtures needed replaced. I have a couple more visits to make. At this rate, he will come home to a clean house. I think I should take bets to see if he notices.
