This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In order to do that, I need to get over the feeling that I can't justify the expense because I live in a one-bedroom apartment.

The expense should be proportional, right? Smaller space = less time = less money.

(I realize it's still an expense.)

I really need to hire a housekeeper, especially since we're not currently paying for a sitter, but my house is too messy to have someone in to clean.

I'm still trying to write this stupid thing, and just have to complain some more: My boss both told me that it should be written more like a newspaper article, and also suggested the phrase "innovative thought-leaders."

Our wings are not tired.

The frantic picking up stuff so the housekeeper has a chance effort is quite the project. But my floors would never be clean if she didn't come.

I'm sure there is a floor around here somewhere...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"innovative thought-leaders."

Nooooooo.

We have not yet got the house in order to get a monthly person in here. Yes, it's been two and a half years.

True, but Captain Logic is not steering my tugboat on this.

Have you tried a vog mask, shrift? [link] My dad swears by his for both particle pollution and allergens. I recently got on in the hopes it will help protect me from pollen but I haven't really given it a good trial yet.

I realized yesterday I was totally out of food at home so I ordered groceries for pickup today at lunch time including a dozen chicken gyoza from the deli. This has turned out to be an excellent choice!
