for myself, i am done major cleaning in here for a little while. i'm now focusing just on vacuuming, spraying, wiping over the four finished rooms, on a daily or bidaily basis.

the next step is for me to clean myself, and i'll need to be taking lengthy overnight showers on a daily basis for the next week or two, while i'm typing during the day.

i'm choosing to be patient and methodical as i fight for each square inch one at a time. this is the russian theory of rat control, a slow and grinding and unstoppable movement forwards, inch by inch, month by month. resistance is futile.

- figure out where they are

- clean it up. immaculately.

- figure out how they get from where they were to where they are

- block it off using silicon, sprays, glue, chlorine, vinyl, etc

- repeat

eventually, i will get to the dnieper.
