'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aidan came by today to help me take out the garbage,so I had to run around in the am to clean. He missed last week because everyone is snowed in and sick.
It is clear I can't function to have a clean home without this accountability. It was twice as hard this morning because I let stuff go. Two hours got it done, except dishes,but I definitely need to make a plan for when Aidan goes to college and/or is just a grown up. I don't think I can keep up without some outer accountability
Sophia - Having a cleaning service forces me to at least straighten up and put things in their place before the service comes. Otherwise I'll never find things once they leave. They may not clean as thoroughly/carefully as I would like sometimes, but the pressure on me to straighten up and the fact that they clean things like the shower that I hate to do, makes them so worth the money.
I spent the morning organizing and filing a bunch of stuff from when the kids were in elementary school and... I hate having teenagers.
Sigh. We should get a dog. (We do have a very puppyish cat.)
Tom, how are you feeling today?
Well, I was never in much pain. After I face-planted onto a metal rail, I said to myself, "Oof, that's going to leave a mark". It was only after I touched my face and saw the blood on my hands that I realized I had to go get stitches.
Still, it stressed me out more than I wanted to admit to myself, so even after I got home I didn't get much sleep. Today I'm tired and depressed and sad and the sutures on my face aren't exactly subtle, and I have a black eye.
Time to practice saying, "you should see the other guy". I'm sorry, Tom. Can you take off some time to stay home for a bit while healing?
Wow, Kobe Bryant has apparently died in a helicopter crash. This may be related to why Twitter is having trouble loading.

What the fuck?
Oh,man, Tom! Falling sucks! I fell on my face on my my front walk in November and still have a lump on my forehead. I had a nasty black eye for weeks (also it hurt like hell).
Timelies all!
Sorry about your fall, Tom. Glad it wasn't worse.
And a friend of mine here in Somerville is just now considered recovered from a concussion that she got slipping on the ice last winter. So any fall you don't get worse than a couple stitches is a good fall!
