I know this woman, a very nice person, but a little unusual in her ways. She likes to go running every three days. Now, this woman also lives in a very large house with 18 rooms. All 18 of those rooms have baseboards of varying heights and styles. She designed the house and directed the construction, every phase.
She also has this thing about clean baseboards! Even though she has a live-in housekeeper, she does not let her clean the baseboards. That chore my friend preforms herself after every three days and only after the completion of her 3 mile run. Now, this is where the unique part of this tale begins. My friend goes to her computer and pulls up her Excel spreadsheet to confirm what room she will clean that day. Then she enters that room and removes her running shoes but retains her sweat soaked ankle gripping cotton socks.
Now, she begins to clean the baseboards. In and of itself, cleaning the baseboards would not be worth witting about, let alone reading about… However, its how she cleans the baseboards that is fascinating. She always begins her cleaning at the northern facing wall and in the east corner of the room. She then moves in a counter clockwise movement. Her dusting tool is her right foot which is still wearing a sweat drenched sock from her 3 mile run! Then once she completes this ritual, she return to her computer and updates the Excel spreadsheet, which is titled “BS”… Which I guess stands for baseboards and socks!
Hea, have a great weekend…
