I see you made your bed.  Good job.  Sheets look a little wrinkly, but otherwise okay.  What's with the cloth hanging from your bed frame?

That's my social distancing mask.  You know, I put that bandana around my face, and it just got a little sweaty, so I rinsed it out, and hung it on the bed frame to dry.

And what about the hat on the dresser?

That was the hat I was wearing, because it was raining.  I got a little sweaty with that on too.  I wiped the brim with the wet bandana.  I'm just letting it dry over there...

That all seems to check out.  Is that 'Fahrenheit 451'?  You know, believe it or not: I'm gonna let that one slide.  Okay, everything else seems to be in order here: but you're going to flush that toilet, right?

Yes, sir, sorry.  Again, I didn't want to waste water, so I didn't flush after I peed, but I, I will next time.

And the trash?

Yeah, I know it's getting pretty full, but again: because it was raining outside today I didn't want to take it out.

I don't need your excuses-I just need you to take out that trash before your next inspection.

Yes, sir, I will right away.  As soon as the weather gets a little better.

All right.  Well, I guess that's good.  Looks like you passed.  Here's your certificate.  You can go to the grocery store now; but whoever comes here next week might not be so forgiving about that garbage.  And don't forget: only one more cup of coffee for the day.

Yes, sir, I know.

All right.  Here you go Mr. Loewenbaum.  Keep up the good work.

Thank you, sir.

And don't forget your papers...
