Every house has one spot that tells the truth about the whole family. Sometimes it is the baseboards. Sometimes it is the oven. But if you really want to know what kind of week somebody had, look at the windows. Client windows need witness protection. People will clean the living room before I get there. They will fluff pillows, hide laundry, spray lemon stuff in the air like the FBI is coming. Then I walk over to the sliding glass door and it looks like somebody tried to escape through it using only forehead grease and a peanut butter sandwich. And I get it. Life happens. Kids happen. Pets happen. Adults happen too but adults always act innocent. A grown man will stand next to a glass door with a full palm print at eye level and say, I have no idea how that got there. Sir, that print has your emotional signature. This is where the four colors show up and cleaning. A red looks at dirty windows and says, we are fixing this now. A green says technically the streak pattern indicates poor towel rotation. A blue says, I think the windows are just expressing themselves. A yellow says, I drew a smiley face in it so it would feel loved. I am a red so I don't see glass. I see betrayal. That is my problem. I walk into a house to clean it and my brain turns into a crime scene unit. I am not thinking nice family busy week. I am thinking who touched this microwave after eating ribs and why are they still free. Then I come home and put the bit into bombed. App and bombed. App does not comfort me. It scores the joke like a strict little comedy parole officer. It goes premise good, tag needs work, emotional damage detectable. Thank you, robot. I already knew I was damaged. I own a cleaning business and an AI comedy app that is not a business plan that is a cry for help with a log and screen. The worst part is when clients apologize before I even start. They say sorry the house is a mess. I always say that is okay. That is why you called me but my red brain is in the back going to find mess. Are we talking normal human mess or did the pantry lose a custody battle because there are levels. There is lived in. There is busy parent. There is moving out. And then there is. The refrigerator has started making decisions without you. That is when my four colors system becomes a survival tool. Red gets the job done. Green remembers the checklist. Blue talks nice to the client. Yellow keeps everybody from feeling judged. And Jesse. Jesse stands there with a mop in one hand and a joke in the other. Pretending this is all part of the empire. That is the real business model. I clean the house, roast myself in the car, feed the pain into bombed. App and call it personal growth. At 50 something I don't need therapy to discover my issues. I just need one dirty window at sunset. Because when the light hits it just right you don't see glass. You see every decision that led you here. And then you invoice it.\n\n[THAT WAS ALL JOKES.
