house cleaning - somebody's gotta do it

am having some guests from mauritius over for lunch tomorrow, so was cleaning up the kitchen this afternoon. few nights ago, me and anis were shocked to discover that our whole cabinet of plastic ware had to be disposed, because we found a dead mouse in one of them, causing the whole cabinet infected with maggots.

i remember how i was back then, at home. if this kind of thing happened, i'll be the first to run out of the kitchen, hoping the white creatures to somehow disappear (poor mom was always the one to make that miracle, unfortunately) now that i'm on my own, its all about rolling up the sleeves, holding my breath, and sweeping out those nasties and cleaning them up with detergent...how i've grown this past year... :)
