I'm hot and sweaty. And not in a sexy times, fun way. Four loads of laundry (just started a fifth and the is the first of MY stuff), reorganized my room, picked up and vacuumed the house, then I looked at CJs room. He was supposed to clean it and sweep the laundry room before he left. Nothing done other than piling up his laundry for me to do. I pulled the obvious garbage out of his room. Made a pile of questionable stuff on his bed, emptied his dresser of small clothes, and made a step by step list of items for him to do. I'm up to 14 things so far. Grrrrrr.

Man Suzi. That's impressive. I have been sitting on my ass today editing my syllabus.

Hahahah. Dang, he's lucky his mom does laundry! At one point my mom was so pissed at my sister's lack of room-cleaning, she took everything out and ransomed it back to my sister bag by bag. Another time she cleaned it, but charged my sister by the hour. ...my sister is still a slob.

I have a huge stack of grading to get through. I also have an upset stomach. I almost never have stomach problems, so I don't have anything in the house that I can take for it. I've got a shelf full of various pain relievers and cough/cold/congestion medicines, but I can't even remember the last time I had to take anything for any sort of stomach issue. I don't even know what I would take. I'm going with sipping water for now.

Normally he does his own, but I offered to run it through while he was at his dad's this weekend. I didn't realize it would be FOUR LOADS worth.

It is all piled on his spot on the couch for him to sort and fold. My helpfulness only goes so far.

I thought about doing his room completely but have been too pissed at him. I had a karate class on Friday and he left for his dad's while I was gone, so I didn't get a chance to say NO, finish doing the things you are supposed to do.

He has officer training today and he already knows I have a list and that "mama ain't happy". So we will see what happens when he gets home.

Do you have anything with ginger or mint, Hil?

So I walked to the car with another friend to get my cigarettes (I know, I know). While we were gone, Joe apparently tried to talk to her and she said, "I'm ignoring you." Then he said something to effect of, "For someone who claims to be spiritual, you are really narrow minded." She repeated, "I'm ignoring you."

Wait, why was she pissed at Joe and ignoring him? (and obnoxiously telling him so)

I hate mint. It tastes like evil. Only ginger I have is the frozen kind. I found some Pepto Bismol that expired a few months ago, so I took some of that, figuring it couldn't hurt. Didn't help much either, though.

Maybe you could make some ginger tea with the frozen ginger?

Our theory is that J didn't want to hear him tell her she was being an asshole. She is CRAZY conflict avoidant. Won't address or talk about SHIT unless you hunt her down and make her. I'm tired of making her.

AND! According to the text Joe got from her husband today, my getting offended at her was "just another episode of the 'All About Aimee' show." And that teaching Sunday school is NOT teaching because there is no license to do so nor educational requirements and the text hasn't changed in 2000 years so ...

Joe called bullshit on that one citing the fact that basic geometry is older and what? Maths shouldn't be taught anymore? Joe's response to S was a thing of beauty. And nary a swear word to be found.
