Ah, November in Wendell, NC. The leaves are falling, the air is crisp, and somewhere, a turkey is plotting its escape. But before you can invite Aunt Marge over to argue about politics and pumpkin pie, there’s a crucial mission at hand: the annual Wendell house cleaning extravaganza. Yes, it’s that time of year when we dust off everything, including the turkey-shaped gravy boat that only sees the light of day once a year.
First things first, tackling the dust bunnies that have taken up residence like they’re paying rent. You might even find a few relics from last Thanksgiving, like that rogue cranberry under the couch. But fear not! The Wendell maid service is here to save the day, armed with feather dusters and an uncanny ability to find dust in places you didn’t even know existed. Their motto? “If it’s dusty, we’ll find it—and possibly name it George.”
Now, onto the kitchen, because that’s where the magic—and the mess—happens. This is where you realize that cleaning the oven isn’t just a suggestion, it’s a necessity. After all, you don’t want your turkey to taste like last week’s lasagna. And speaking of which, cleaning out the fridge is a must. You’ll need space for pies, leftovers, and possibly a small battalion of holiday beverages. Just remember, if it looks like it could be a science experiment, it’s time to let it go.
Finally, let’s not forget the bathrooms. Because nothing says “welcome to our humble abode” like a sparkling clean toilet. Besides, it’s the one room where guests are guaranteed to be alone long enough to notice any, shall we say, cleaning oversights.
So, as you prepare for the great November clean-a-thon, remember that a little humor and a lot of elbow grease will get the job done. And if all else fails, you can always hide the mess in the garage. But for those less adventurous, why not schedule a cleaning and let the pros handle it while you focus on perfecting your turkey brine? After all, you’re going to need your energy for that post-dinner nap!
