Dust floats in the air like it belongs there, and it accumulates on everything. Dead skin and mites suspended in mid-air adhere to practically anything; sullying surfaces to which they cling. Dust bunnies gather, morphing into balls; that hide under beds and roll down the halls. Dust spreads allergens, dander, and pet hair, it collects in corners and sticks to walls; it's everywhere, yet we don't seem to care.

So true, and good writing, too. My housekeeper is here dusting and sweeping as I read. She comes every two weeks, and my house feels so good after she's been here. Smells good, too. Have a good day, friend.
