Cleaning

I just spent two hours cleaning the house non-stop, dusting, vaccuming, sweeping, moping, bathrooms (UCK) and kitchen. It feels good to have it clean and it smells better :) We shaved Leroy last week and I noticed an extreme difference between the amount of hair in the vaccum this time, although it is still bad. Blake has been out of town the last several weeks and as much as I "miss" him, I enjoy having a whole house all to myself doing what I want, eating when I want, watching what I want on tv. I'll be glad when he is home and the puppies will be especially happy. Leroy will sit at the garage door and stare at it as if staring at it will make Blake walk thru. He also does not like to eat when Blake is gone but after 3 or 4 days he will eat, getting too hungry to be on a fast. I also do enjoy having him home at night, my neighborhood is safe but I still feel weird being home alone at night, what if something does happen?? Than again when I had roommates they would have been worse help than not having anyone here. One of my roommates actually had an ex-boyfriend stalking her from her hometown, 4 hours away. I am not even sure how he found where she lived but he would leave her notes on her car at the mall and in the driveway. CREEPY!!
There are 4 college guys who live across the street from us. They are typically okay except for the living out of their garage, couches tv table lamps etc. which I find weird and the ocassional loud garage party (wow I sound old) However they hadn't mowed in over a month and their grass was officially seeding and was at least a foot tall. I reported them to the city, like a little snitch. I hate when people don't take care of their yards, shitty landscape is bad enough but to not mow your yard for that long!! So I'm pretty sure they just volunteered to mow their lawn on their own because the house next to them also hasn't mowed and still hasn't mowed but FINALLY 1 down, 1 to go the college guys mowed their yard. I watched one of them mow the front yard while cleaning, it took him at least 45 minutes to mow the front yard in addition to the fact that it was over halfway done before I got home from work. It takes me 30 minutes to mow my whole yard and my front yard is hilly so it takes extra time. I estimated that he could have mowed the yard 6 times in what it took him to mow today because it was soo tall. I've only mowed my yard 3 times in the last month.
