Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why doesn't my house tidy itself?

Did you forget to have that option pre-installed when you bought the house?

I have 2 weeks of dust rhinos, the tramping of my parents, my father's trails of food and spilled coffe and the electrician's mud throughout my house. I think I might cry. (Mom will clean tomorrow without me even mentioning it, but right now the state of things is unsettling.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, my house is remarkably untidy, and I have yet to have the post-travel reserves back to do anything about it. And I only went halfway across the country, not halfway across the world!

Maybe later today. The SO is marinating some portabellos in balsamic & olive oil with shallots, garlic & tarragon, to be grilled with gouda. So I figure after the nom I should have some energy.

Depends on if I'm going to church tonight, I guess.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am kinda immobilized not know what to do next. I know I need to do cleaning before the exterminators come to inspect on Monday, but what exactly to do next? no idea. There is just sooooo much.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

we'd probably look at Kent for living arrangements

Cool. There are some lovely towns in easy reach of London there.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Beds are stripped and remade. Laundry's sorted. Toys picked up. I still need to sweep, run the dishwasher and wipe down counters.

I'm tired and just want to take a nap.

I am in the Orlando Hyatt. My room is approximately six billion miles away from the elevator. Why did I think it was a good idea to do my lower body workout yesterday, again? Ow.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My apartment needs vacuuming, but my vacuum broke. It's currently at the Vacuum Hospital (seriously, that's the name of the place) waiting for a new belt and giving me a lovely excuse not to clean.

Happy Lammas to all!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It occurred to me as I was sweeping the floors at my apartment today that I was unconsciously trying to avoid coming in to the office by finding housework to do. Though at least I got clean laundry, clean dishes, and an empty trash can out of the bargain before the realization hit me.

Cleaning is a time-honored procrastination technique for me. I'd much rather do the dishes than grade a set of papers.
