Cleaning Supplies

A pipe broke in my kitchen and I had to clear out all the cleaning supplies so the plumber could get at the pipes. (The plumber never calls even though the agency keeps swearing that he’s going to call meany second now.) I was mystified to see how much cleaning stuff I had because I think my apartment generally rates a “C-minus” in cleanliness. But then Peter told me that the number of cleaning supplies a person has is not a function of the cleanliness of their apartment; it’s a function of how clean they wish their apartment could be.
