Mopping is the only thing I dislike more than vacuuming.
Ugh, aurelia. That sounds seriously annoying.

Today has been shit, but at least the Falcons just lost with 7 seconds to go in the fourth quarter.
I'm not going to post this until the clock actually runs out.
Okay, it's safe.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My folks are coming to visit next weekend, so we're starting to clean up here. This morning I vacuumed the kitchen, dining room and stairs to the top floor. Gary mopped the kitchen. The fun is going to be seeing how much I can get done in the next few days while Gary's away. (It all depends on how long it takes Mr. S to go to sleep.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We take our bright spots we find them, Dana.
Between the one cat being aggressively snuggly and the positional vertigo deciding to come back, I am not getting shit done today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I never mop. Swiffer WetJet or gtfo. And by "gtfo" I mean lie down on the couch.
I ripped out the old nasty carpet in my downstairs and replaced it with sheet vinyl with a hardwood pattern. I am so happy with it! Swiffer and Roomba take care of it, vacuuming not necessary. If I ever get sheet vinyl again, I'll spend a little more on it, but still I haven't regretted this choice for a minute. I pulled out the old cigarette-burned vinyl and put down vinyl plank flooring in the tiny kitchen and tiny bathroom, and that was a good choice too. Sure it was not high-quality, but no way am I putting down expensive floors in a townhouse I may someday be renting out.
In short: vinyl floors good, wall-to-wall carpets (probably) bad.

Say, y'all remember when we had a communal login/password to the New York Times and some other media? We should do that again. Anyone interested in pitching in a couple bucks to subscribe us to some newspapers and the like?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mopping is the only thing I dislike more than vacuuming.
And I did them both today!

I am pretty sure I get an extra email address for my NYTs subscription. I could add a generic address or something.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I vacuumed and steam-mopped the kitchen today. We need to re-tile the kitchen floor in grey or something that doesn't show dirt the way the current white tile does. You can see every freaking atom of crud on a white tile floor.
I also mowed the lawn, went to Aldi and Meijer, did minor food prep for the week (hard-boiled eggs for breakfasts and cut up cheese cubes for lunches), did the dishes, made the bed, and meditated.
I want a beer after all that.

Oh, look at Teppy bucking for a seat on the Supreme Court.
