Yikes, indeed! So happy to hear that you're OK, and so very happy that this is the last day of August.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously! Glad you're doing OK, Toddson.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I work part tiem - DH works closer to 50 hours - but his travel is at 75% Now - so the house stuff is mine. If I worked full time the house would be better and worse. I'd make less mess, but there would be less time for cleaning big messes. and someweeks I have a clean house - others are disatorous. 2 Sundays ago I hurt my right hand, and could do nothing. It was much better yesterday - but I walked in to a kitchen with water everywhere last night. disaster on top of disaster. what I like to do is make a list - things that have to get done this week - and then the regular chores Even if I only get the have-tos done , I feel more in control.

Our wings are not tired.
resigning ourselves to a certain level of mess and chaos
This is required if you have kids. I worry about people with kids and neat houses. Somethin' ain't right.
Watching shows on the treadmill is the best way to justify tv time.
Off to see what is up with Toddson....

I note in passing that knitting is also a good way to justify TV time.
Now I'm contemplating the practicality of knitting while treadmilling and watching TV. Seems like it would be doable.

Much health-ma, Toddson. Hope you don't have to revise your day-to-day habits too much as a result.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I am a very social person, but I like my alone time. It's why I often get a room by myself at the F2F. If I need to, I can escape to decompress when I am overwhelmed by the foamy. If/when I get married, the future Mr. Vortex will have to realize that there are certain times I need to be alone, and he will just have to deal. I had a conversation with a good friend about that yesterday, and I was like "oh, yeah, totally -- first fifteen minutes after you get home, maybe 1/2 an hour before bed" he said "why doesn't my wife get that?"
