How could anyone live in a place like this? *PunkStarChiK*

Hey Everyone :)

I just spent my whole weekend cleaning my boyfriend's grandma's house. I couldn't believe how much of a dump her place was! There were flies, fleas, spiders and bugs just almost everywhere. Oh and rats and mice too. A bunch of spiderwebs hanging everywhere. (Hate spiders! Had a big black nasty one drop onto my shoulder yesterday..ew!)

The cat litter box hasn't been changed in the longest time. There were clumbs of cat poop all over the house, especially the hallway. It was so nasty. There are three cats living there too and the cats pretty much ruled the house. Thick cat fur were everywhere! I have never seen so much cat fur all over in a house before. You could almost build a couple dozen new cats which how much fur was all over the place.

Food was rottening in the kitchen and dinning room. Trash was everywhere! You couldn't almost move around the place. While we were cleaning the place, we had to be careful of uncle Tim's stuff. He was a major druggie but thankfully we didn't find any of his stuff or any needles poking around and thank god he is no longer living there.

Grandma is a major pack rat. She'll buy stuff and not use them and toss them into bags in the house and forget about them. She has so many yarn, fabrics and all sorts of arts and crafts all over the house. She also reads a lot and everyroom you went to, there were piles of books covered with cat fur and cobwebs on them.

I don't understand how someone could live like this. Grandma is still pretty healthy and she can move around just fine. Even after her car accident she had several weeks ago which she amazingly survived. I guess she doesn't care too much about cleaning or something because she said she felt comfortable with everything. She didn't like the idea of us cleaning up her place but it really had to be done. It was just all too awful.

After three days of cleaning, the place looked so much better. Grandma was really impressed and is very well happy. I'm going to be visiting her about three times a week starting this week to check up on her and make sure things don't get messed up again. She looks forward for my visit, even though we haven't acutally known each other much but I know that she could use the visit and I could have someone to talk to. :) She is a real sweety and likes to talk a lot.

Just wanted to tell you all how my weekend went. It was fun, tireing, intersting and all. Also found a lot of old stuff that are antiques and worth a lot of money. Coins, old baseball cards real old soda bottles and soda pop cans and much more. (I didn't know there was a diet dr pepper with lemon in a blue soda can. Its about 20 years old or more. Still got soda in it too!) We also found a bunch of Silver One Dollar bills. Ever seen one of those? It was an intersting weekend. But I'm glad that we got to help clean up her place. :)
