Only 16 Days

I only have to live with this for 16 days.

I just wish I didn't have to live with it every weekend, too, up until the day I move in.

This is why we have fruit flies and ants all over the house.

After leaving the kitchen rendered useless for other roommates to use for days, he proceeded to run in and out of the house all weekend, go food shopping and play tennis while WATCHING me pick up his mess. It took me two hours to scrub the grime that one week's worth of use created.

This is why my kitchen appliances are hidden from view. He doesn't know what cooking spray or foil is used for in order to not destroy pots and pans. Rinsing? Why would he do that when he can leave it on the counter to harden really good for three days.

Please ignore the fact that I have circa 1975 faux-red-brick linoleum and beige appliances.

I just don't understand how anyone can not see or hear Cheerios falling to the floor, step on them, and not pick them up. Not only in the kitchen, but leave a trail through the hall, up the stairs, and into their bedroom. 

Sixteen days.  Then I can have my kitchen back....maybe.  I might not want it after all this.
