Cleaning lady is here.

I had the house about 3/4 picked up. To my standards. Not hers.

She's cleaning corners. I'm paying her $$$.

I'm kinda between embarrassed and thrilled.

And she's not going to clean our storage or book rooms. I can't have her do that.

And I need my Spanish to come back. But I'm tired and, well. It's not coming.

ETA: she just told me she won't finish in three hours. What she did with my living room is enough. I told her that. I said only worry about the floors. She said, "I limpio bueno." I feel...how does one acquire a cleaning gene?

My Spanish is starting to come in. Not much, but enough to get me in trouble but not out, and I now have more Spanish than I have Chinese. Not that I have much of that, but ...

I feel so happy that another language is starting to take root in my brain.
