I cannot keep a house. I am a filthy slob and I have no idea of what is involved in housekeeping. So, I'm cleaning and I say, I'll clean the computer nook- should take maybe a half an hour. But then I pick up one thing and notice 10 things under/behind/hidden by the one thing. It's like pulling a thread-- my whole house unravels ( Read more... )

We've been here at our house for 5 years and there are family members who have never visited. The brother and sister of the cousin who has been over twice have insisted themselves over the day after Christmas. The problem? There is no way I can get this house in visitor shape by then ( Read more... )

Justin was home before 11. Only 2 laid off people (sane manager and her son) and 5 not laid off people came, including Justin. And of those 7 people, 5 are teetotalers. I think this was called too soon. When it was only me who was fired, everybody felt bad for me and that was it. With this massive lay-off everyone--fired or not-- is scared and ( Read more... )

Dany's too pooped to drive and I am not taking an hour and 15 minute, two buses ride to the place. Justin'll fill me in on what I missed.

I have a cyst growing inside my nose. It is very painful and I don't like it. If it's anything like the cysts that grow like wild mushrooms on other parts of my body, it may get real disgusting in there. Or it may just go away. I also have to remember to stop rubbing my nose-- something I seem to do with alarming frequency. I'm surprised I have not ( Read more... )

Furniture has to be moved and I ain't doing it. The only way furniture will be moved is if I nag everyone for a week. Since I'm not all that gung-ho about painting-- I got a lot of personal projects going on-- I ain't going to get on everyone's nerves to make them do what they must do in order to get what they want done.

So shut the fuck up, you whiny load assed cat.

. . .Dany thinks I should paint downstairs. I believe I surprised him when I agreed-- with one stipulation. I'm not moving furniture.

Thank God it's extended! The warm weather continues, which is good because I have not planted my garlic or lettuce yet. The plot for them is overgrown with weeds and, unless I have the garlic and lettuce seeds in hand for planting, I ain't gonna clear that mess. Because I am the lazy gardener and if there's one thing I learned, nature is NOT lazy ( Read more... )

The ophthalmologist clocked both my eyes at 21. He says maybe it's not glaucoma but since he and the optometrist got such different numbers, he'd like me to come back in December for comparison. And, I always have to be special. They tried to take a picture of my eyeball but my pupils were too small to get a good shot. They flashed me and flashed ( Read more... )
