I need to clean the ceiling fans in the living room.  They look like they have a fur coat.  EW, yeah disgusting!  To do a proper cleaning I have to climb the ladder, prop a bucket of soapy water on it, and scrub each blade.  Then I have to wipe down the lights, and the rest of the fan. 

     That’s why I rarely clean them.  They are on most of the time to keep the air circulating so it isn’t often that anyone notices they are dirty.  When I notice, you can bet they’ve gone past dirty and into the realm of holy crap what is that?

     I hate heights, I hate climbing ladders, and cleaning is not one of my favorite things to do.  However, even I am disgusted with how dirty those fans are.  No one else is going to do it.  Therefore, this klutz needs to climb the ladder and clean.

     Now I ask you, should I wait until after the conference?  Would it be tempting fate to climb a ladder this close to the date?
