It's been a while since I've written anything and it's time to get back into the habit.
This morning, I'm working from my dining room table. As I listen to Martin and try to come up with an idea of what to write about, I decide he's a fitting topic. Now, you might think this is going to be something wrought with scandal. I can't promise that, but I hope to not disappoint just the same.
Yesterday I was showing homes to a terrific couple from Illinois. What makes them terrific is that they've been married for 55 years, they tease each other constantly, and he wants nothing more than to buy her the most perfect home in Lincoln, Nebraska. We don't know each other very well...having only met this week. But there are moments, whether it be in a too-small dining room, a gorgeous basement, or on a patio that he will look at her will so much love and she'll twinkle a smile back. You can see his heart glow.
But this isn't about their love, it's about me and Martin. I told them about Martin. We were talking about vacuuming and all the hard work involved in keeping floors clean. And that's when I came clean and told them they needed to get a Martin.
Now let's go back in time to about March 2015. My college daughter was home from college with her boyfriend. Before bed the first night home, I told them that my housekeeper would be over around 8:00 the next morning to clean. I warned them that he's pretty loud, doesn't speak English and he'd be here for about an hour.
You can imagine my delight when I came home from working later the next day to find my daughter glaring at me and pointing to the floor and asking, "Is that your housekeeper?"
I said yes and asked why. Well, it turns out my daughter an her boyfriend had spent the morning in their respective bedrooms waiting for Martin to finish his work.
You see, my housekeeper is Martin. He's a Roomba. He'll do it on the carpet and the hardwood floors. And I love him.
(He actually does speak English, but in kind of a girly voice).
