Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

May the Fourth be with you! I swear I don't remember people saying this in previous years, but this year I see it everywhere. It could be my memory failing.

I think people are especially into it this year in memory of Carrie Fisher.

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

That makes sense.

Today the high is only 82! Maybe I can do something besides lie unmoving beneath the ceiling fan when I get home from work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can today just be Friday? I would like to opt out of the rest of this week.

I'm sorry about Lucky, Maria.

I made it through Tuesday only having to jettison mowing and laundry.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. I think tonight will be pretty full though. The weekend will be crazy busy. Once my wife's business is done getting starting, that will help a lot. I'm doing everything tech related with that plus furniture assembly and some other stuff like that. The house is getting bad again too. Sometimes I wish I could have the house to myself for a weekend so I could just clean it. It seems like I can get a couple of hours of cleaning in on the weekend and get a good head of steam going, but then someone will need me to do something and when that's done there's something else, and then something else, and I can never get back to it. It gets frustrating.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Gud, I'm legitimately confused: why doesn't your wife clean? What does the division of labor look like in your house?

Today is my Friday since I decided to take tomorrow off, which means I really need to get some stuff done today.

Coding and Sleeping

It's hard for me to figure that out since I sort of hop from task to task without really reflecting on the whole picture.

I do the cooking and when we do carry-out I'm almost always the person who picks it up. I do the vast majority of the grocery shopping. We both do laundry, and we both do dishes. I handle trash and recycling, mowing, auto repair, and household repairs. We both do vacuuming. I handle bills. She handles school issues and taking kids to appointments. She handles putting together pills into pill boxes. I handle everything technological. I tend to do more de-cluttering and filing and wiping things down.
