When I was a kid we were
required to clean our bedrooms every Saturday morning. I'm sure there were
times that is was a nuisance, but generally I liked doing it. I liked the cleanliness
of the room, the neatness, and the fresh smell of a clean bedroom. Cleaning
also kept the clutter to a minimum. To this day I hate clutter. Sure, clutter
has its place. Like in antique shops, my grandmother's basement, and Mark's
mind (That's why Mark could never be
brainwashed. Too much clutter up there). Unfortunately I have hooked myself
up to a clutter loving man. Too much crap in the house makes it very difficult
to clean and to mollify me Mark bought one of those robot vacuums. We named her
Rosie, very original. I programmed Rosie to clean the living room and the
hallway every night at one in the morning. It's very eerie to wake up and look
through the French doors between the dining room and the living room, and see
that blue light flashing with Rosie moving back and forth. Each and every night
I have to set the living room up for Rosie. I have to pick all the lamp cords
up off the floor, all the dog toys have to be picked up along with any other
crap lying around. I also have to clean Rosie out from the night before. You
would think that after a month of cleaning the room every single night, there
would be nothing left to pick up. Wrong, Rosie fills her little dirt chamber
with dog hair, dust, and all kinds of nastiness every night. How on earth could
there be that much dirt in my house? There isn't any visible dirt on the floor,
yet Rosie finds plenty. I suppose it's possible that the robot is screwing with
me, and sneaks out to pick up some dirt when I'm not home. Every night at
around fifteen minutes after one, I hear her bang into the dining room door
over and over again. Is that how she escapes to get her fill up of dirt? I
don't trust her. I think she may be in cahoots with Alexa.
