I have neither a housecleaner nor any qualities attributable to an astrological sign. I do have an awesome yard guy, which is <3.
My food is problematic.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

“Not dead yet!”
I am good at cleaning; I'm a Virgo. That's the problem, though. I start cleaning one little thing, and next thing I know, everything in the fridge is out and I am scrubbing it with a toothbrush, and then, 3 hours later, I'm too tired to wash towels and sweep the bathroom. ten minutes later, when one of the other household inhabitants inevitably spills, tracks across, or otherwise despoils the fruits of my efforts, I go into a blinding HULK! SMASH! RAGE!
So I try to clean as little as humanly possible, even though I am good at keeping things straightened up, so the house doesn't look like a total dump site.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
After 9 years of marriage I finally got my DH to cave and agree to the cleaning lady. Life. Saver. I am so much happier.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I finally got a good plan for keeping the place reasonably clean. Keeping in mind it's just an apartment, no kids and two people: I propose a mere 15 or 20 minute block of cleaning to my man, about once a week. Usually no restrictions on what gets cleaned by whom. Put a podcast on the speakers and 20 minutes later everything is decluttered and the surfaces are cleaned. The showers are never sparkling and dusting almost never gets done, but at least things are reasonable.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Perkins, that is a totally cute dress! Is it worth having a tailor/seamstress alter it?

An assisted living facility for people with dementia or Alzheimer's is being planned for a Minneapolis suburb. Some neighbors are protesting because they think that the patients might either harm their children or expose them to "inappropriate" behavior. [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it worth having a tailor/seamstress alter it?
Oh no. It's a costco dress. Altering it would probably cost more than the dress. I figure I can get away with it for another 5 pounds or so, and then goodwill or play here have a thing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Okay, I'm a Gemini, so what should I be like? Or what two people should I be like?
You are: the person who happily pays to have it done. And the person who makes you realize that this is more than okay.
This has been me. I like that me.
