Hausfrau

gina and becky's posts about cleaning coincided with a minor housekeeping surprise at my place. i'm not particularly tidy. for instance, i don't notice dust bunnies until they've bred and produced several generations. and even then i only think "i should really get out the vacuum." but this week i was duly horrified on my own behalf.

three weeks ago a yogurt drink exploded in my bag. the bag was holding my freshly laundered clothes, some shoes, my power supply and mouse. yes, the drink shouldn't have been in there. when i got home, i rewashed my clothes, wiped the computer stuff and the shoes. or at least i thought i'd wiped up the shoes. my boots have been sitting at the door unused since then and i had noticed a bit of yogurt in the crease between the sole and the boot but didn't think much about it. the other day i went to put on the boots and found out i had to pry them from the tile floor. once i'd done that, i found mold - MOLD - growing on the soles in the arch and tread. yuck.
