Long week

It's Monday, and I'm taking Friday off, but I'm already having a hard time concentrating. I'm in the office alone again today for the 4th day in a row as my other co-workers are either working opposite schedules, or taking today off because they worked and traveled over the weekend. It's hard being the only one in the office. And I'm working longer hours since I'm taking Friday off.

Why am I taking Friday off? Because my brother in law and sister in law are coming to visit us in Seattle! We haven't seen them since their wedding in NC in August...I warned them about the weather being bad - the snow and cold this morning was a little much - but it's actually going to be in the 50's and partly sunny the whole time they're here! I'm excited about that.

This past weekend was spent doing some steam cleaning of our carpets - since we rent, our place is about 90% carpeted, and it had been over a year since I'd last steam cleaned them. Seriously, I vacuum the majority of the house once a week and am constantly using a dust buster on the entryway every day, but the amount of gunk and black water that was made in the steam cleaner was disgusting. I can't believe I've been walking around on that for so long. I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if we wore shoes in the house. I read somewhere that if you wear shoes in the house that there's a possibility of having feces in your home that are tracked in from outside sources. I'm already a clean freak, I don't need to be a germ freak too!

Exactly the reason we don't have carpet anywhere in our house (except walk-in closet). I cringe to think what lives in people's carpet!!
