weird things happen to me.

the strangest things happen to me...

so I don't know how to even know how to preface this story.

but,

all I wanted was my house 

DEEP CLEANED.

not like a precious feather duster clean...

like things I don't think about,

the oven/stove/behind the washer/etc.

I have lived here 2 years,

and I will be perfectly honest in saying I have not cleaned under the stove.

at all.

not once.

so of course I think it is a little strange to pay someone to do something,

that I obviously can,

but sometimes it is worth it!

so I find a lady.

she seems legit.

we text a few times,

she shows up,

calls her husband to tell him she made it last Friday.

(said they check in with each other when it is a new place, smart!)

well I got ready for work,

she went and got some supplies and came back,

and I was so excited to get home that afternoon to a spotless apartment!!

except I did not...

this is what my kitchen looked like,

as of 5:30pm

literally got home to all her supplies at the front door,

they money still sitting there (that I left to pay her),

stove open,

microwave open,

clothes in the middle of a washing cycle

(with the lid open).

SO STRANGEEEEE.

she literally disappeared. 

no trace.

and no acknowledgment that she was 

1.done cleaning

2. was coming back.

____

I, of course, called her.

no answer.

so I locked up my apartment and headed to the gym.

called her a couple hours later.

no answer.

and now I am beginning to think something earth shattering happened.

death/house burning down/emergency with family/etc.

and then,

11 hours after I met her,

I get this text:

now, I will be the first to say that if my pet was hit by a car it would be a 

HUGE EMERGENCY!!!

but,

no text,

no call,

it was just super strange.

It is weird enough to let a stranger in your house.

but then when they straight up disappear of the face of the earth, it adds a new dimension.

lol

so yeah, 

the cat lives.

my house got put back together,

it ends well!
