Could it be?
Although I know no one can see this, you should all take my word for it and be super impressed: I am keeping my house so clean (for me)! Laundry is all in the hamper. Dishes are put in the dishwasher, pots and stuff are washed (and air-dry, I admit). My clothes are all in the right drawers or hanging up. Stuff is put away! I put it away! Not just under the bed!
Now, we’ll see how well this lasts when I *don’t* have company coming by regularly to see my place (my grandparents’ comment: Wow! It’s so much nicer than we thought it would be!), but still, it’s a good start.

Well I’m impressed with anyone who manages to clean up and whatnot. I can’t seem to keep up with that stuff these days. I’d take the “nicer than we thought” to mostly mean that people expected you to have some small and old “starter” place just because you’re a first time buyer. It is a weird thing to say though.

Well, it is old — which was the point, I didn’t want a new building. I know they mean it well, it’s just odd.

(cue Cyrano de Bergerac) Think of all the things you *could* have said!

Yes, it doesn’t seem as old and run-down as I thought it would be.
The place doesn’t really smell so bad.
There aren’t very many cockroaches, and as for the rats, hey! The rats are hardly worth mentioning!
