Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fuck. I have a ton of stuff to do and no desire or brainpower to do it. I can't decide if I should have stayed home after all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

you live alone and don't seem to eat much. Not so many dishes, I bet.

Nah, I'm just Jamaican. My parents have a dishwasher they only rarely run, cell phones they never put down, and if they could ever make the cognitive leap to a DVR would own more than one.

Even when I didn't live alone (house of at least three adults, no shared food prep) I had periods of weeks where I'd do all the dishes by hand even though we had a dishwasher.

And I had periods of weeks where I'd only do my own and never run or empty the dishwasher, and they were so lazy they'd take a dish out, use it, put it back in with the clean stuff and run the dishwasher all over again.

TiVo and the cell phone allow me to be freer leaving the house. If I had kids and kids-related dishes, though, I don't suppose I'd ever leave the house if I had to do them by hand.

I have a dishwasher! But I don't use it. I don't have any of those other things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Very very tiny work annoyance: One of my bosses always leans forward on his chair, balancing it on its two front wheels. I keep expecting to hear him crashing to the ground, but he never does.

There are suspicious sounds coming from my desk drawer. And you know what? I don't want to deal. I know there are no food items in there. If it is what I think it is and not just some weird desk settling, I'm going to just assume it will leave soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The angry cardinal got into your desk?

I have a ton of stuff to do and no desire or brainpower to do it.

Oh, hey, that sounds familiar.

At least I finished the rest of my taxes last night, with state and city taxes stuffed into fat, stamped envelopes in my purse.

Mouse, perhaps.

It's stopped so I can stop not dealing with it.
