Hey, subtract the cleaning, and my Thursday night is shrift's.

I would like to mention that the only reason I am cleaning is because I am picking up people from the airport tomorrow. Otherwise I would totally be wallowing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You know you don't have to clean on my account.

Because books.

I feel pretty set about saying no to the job...if I can get the same money doing something else that won't be as taxing, it's a simple decision.

That's the perfect thing, then. Above and beyond paying the rent and buying groceries, and no matter how much you adore your kids, you need some brainspace and some energy left for *you* and the things you love to do.

Kathy, people that don't watch Countdown might think we're totally making it up but I predict "Paternity Puppet Theater" at least. Four More Years!(Excuse me but it's contract day and I haven't gotten to say "Four more years" in a happy tone since '96.) Sorry, JZ, hope things get better soon. And remember that most of the crap you worry about doesn't happen.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hey, shrift, where are you reading about Chicago gangs? I feel the need to get educated.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That's the stuff that really matters, the loss of competence that I feel deeply.

It comes back. It really, really does.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

One of my parents pulls out a poem I wrote years ago and says, "This is so moving. What are you working on lately?" and I feel guilty and teary.

Oh, my. I think you need to tell your parent, "I've been working on making, feeding, sustaining, and nurturing your GRANDDAUGHTER. So, little busy these days."

I am not going to bother mopping the floors, but I am still cleaning the bathroom. I'm afraid I must insist.

And if I have time, I will make cupcakes, if only so I can, uh, taste-test a few of them tonight.

Plus, all new competences! Like feeding a human with your bosom!

Like feeding a human with your bosom!

It's very cost effective. Plus also the contented after bonding.
