in terms of tidiness, how ready is your home generally to receive unexpected visitors?

@eniko its generally acceptable, but i usually spent 15min collecting dirty laundry / dishes and emptying bins beforehand

@eniko other - my house reflects my mental state so, if I'm depressed it's not ready ever

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@eniko like, I could get it cleaned up nice in an hour, but anyone who'd care if I didn't isn't worth having as a visitor.

@alice @eniko
This!

Plus folks that know me do not show up unannounced, unless there is an issue of a personal nature. And in that scenario they are *always* welcome any time of day.

@eniko I voted how I voted, but advent of pandemic means Not A Single One save for paths cleared for service techs unbothered by anything because they've seen far worse. All others relegated to front porch no matter what they may think~

@eniko Used to be "presentable in a couple (or more) hours" in the Before Times
Now.... it very much is not...

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko I can get it presentable in a couple of *MINUTES*

@eniko
define unexpected visitors... A few people do know the chaos we live in, so it's more of a matter of those needing utilities access or something where I need to clear or rearrange things for access, like moving boxes out of the bedroom to access the utility hatch for water

@eniko it's not at all ready, but I decided a long time ago that anyone visiting can just deal with it. I've got too much going on to make my house a pretend level of neatness

@eniko

It depends on who you ask in the household.

On most days, it's not terrible, and could be ready for most of our friends or family in about 20-40 minutes.

For anyone else though, it would be closer to 2 or 3 hours.
