Home is where the pants are

I'm officially tired of housesitting. I want my own bed back, not to mention clothing other than the suitcase-full I took with me. Also, I still can't find a broom, and I'm not entirely sure how to get the cat litter off the floor. Plus I'm really busy this weekend, and it would all be much easier if I weren't going back and forth between two places. I just have to make it until Monday, though, and Squishy didn't wake me up this morning*, so it's not too painful.

Has anyone done any housesitting? How much cleaning should I be doing? I'm going to clean the bathroom (ie. get the cat litter off the floor somehow, clean my hair out of the sink, that sort of thing) and the kitchen, but should I wash the sheets? I'm not really sure there's much point, since I'd have to use them again after I washed them, but I'm not sure. What would you expect if someone were staying at your place?

Speaking of cleaning, I'm having belated spring cleaning urges. I attribute this to the fact that I'm not at home, and therefore have no responsibility to act on them. I'm sure by the time I get home for good, any inclination I have to dust will have faded away, to be replaced by the urge to sit and do nothing.

*Actually she did, if you count 2:30 am as morning, but it was a nice change from the normal 5 am wake-up call, other than the fact that for a few minutes I thought that meant I was going to have to get up soon, and I couldn't figure out why it felt like I had just gone to bed.

I put fresh sheets on, and threw my towels and sheets in the laundry basket. I was thinking about washing them, but in the end I completely ran out of time, anyway. The new sheets are a completely different colour, so I assume they'll notice that they're new (although leaving a note would have been the smart thing to do).
