He never forgot and he never forgave! Not Sweeney, not Sweeney Todd!

Rebecca might just win the contest for having the two laziest, sloppiest brothers in the world. I've stopped going to the house while the two of them are living there, because they keep it in such a disgusting state. The cabinets are sticky, the floors covered in dust, and my old room is now being used as a storage bin for my older brother's various rubbish. Not that I really care about my old room. There's nothing left there now but dust, mold, and unhappy memories, all of which give me asthma attacks.

So our mom is coming back from North Carolina either this weekend or next week, and rather than actually clean the house themselves -- which just might kill them, who knows? -- they're getting our aunt to clean it for them. These are two grown men who are still living in their mom's house and can't even bother to clean it. If I were them, I would at least have the decency to feel ashamed of myself. They probably don't even know the first thing about cleaning; I can't imagine Mom ever made them do housework when they were kids -- not when she had two daughters to shove all the workload on.

To top it all off, our aunt intially volunteered to come clean house in the morning, which would be most convenient for her. But my brother said, "No, I sleep in in the mornings." (Hello, she's doing you a favor, and you're making even more demands of her, you lazy asshole?) So instead she's going to come in the afternoon, even though that's out of her way. Maybe once my aunt sees what the house really looks like, she'll back out and they'll have to find some Mexican guy to clean it for them.

In other news, I gave Sable a bath yesterday, and I think he's lost even more of his hair. (Though on the plus side, having less hair seems to cut back on his fleas.) Tomorrow I'm going to try to make it to the pet store to get a bottle of Royal Coat Express -- another miracle cure for Sable's skin that I'm pinning all my hopes on. You know the only thing I've ever found that really makes a difference is fish oil.

I rode my bike to and from work today and yesterday. The weather has been so nicely lately -- sunny and cool and breezy -- that I want to soak up as much of it as I can.
