I Cleaned My Kitchen!

It's a major event. I took some pictures. Perhaps you will note that my kitchen, when clean enough for me to get all excited and post photos of it, is still dirtier than yours is on a regular basis. But this is perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

Here's the kitchen from the doorway to the living room. Don't look too closely at the fridge: it's technically in the utility room, not the kitchen, and therefore did not get cleaned - especially the outside, which is covered with extremely naughty magnetic poetry.


Here's the kitchen sink, and a window through which squirrels sometimes peer and bitch at me for doing dishes, which just goes to show you should never listen to squirrels.

By the way, I was holding the camera a little crooked, but not that much. The house is built on a hill, and is very, very gradually sliding down it towards the creek. This is why the floor in a few spots has sort of an intermittent existence problem, but it's also why I can afford the rent.


From the utility room, looking towards the living room. That little narrow table blocking off the pantry isn't normally in the kitchen, but it had to go there to make room for the Christmas tree. Pantries are overrated anyway.


And here's where I am sitting right now! That's a Christmas card from Sam Hurt in the bottom right corner of the picture, by the way; not to drop names or anything, but just in case you were about to forget what a cool person I am.


And now for my next trick, I will attempt to cook something.
