Woooo hooooo!

Today is one of the best days of my life!

I just hired someone to help clean my apartment!

Why, you might ask, would a healthy adult woman who lives alone in a 2-room apartment need hired help?

Because she's busy and hates cleaning, OK? And because she found an English-speaking Israeli high-school student who will help her out for a few hours once a week for only 15 NIS (about $3.50) an hour, OK? And because she has better things to do with her life, OK?

Woo hoo! My windows will be clean! My dry cleaning will be picked up! My floors will be mopped! My bookshelves will be dusted! My newspapers will be recycled! On a regular basis. Woo hoo!!!!
