Brian came over today to help me with the cleaning. Given his long drive, I thought he'd need more hours than usual to make it worthwhile. But he wanted to leave at 3 pm to try to beat the traffic, so he was only here a couple hours. I appreciate the help. He can really scrub and I can't. I would have liked him to give my kitchen counters the Brian Treatment, but there was only time to do the kitchen sink, plus vac, dust, and clean the tub/shower. I need to reduce the clutter so it's easier to clean.
