Dinner, yes, for me at least. I'll have a worn down and out kid in tow (sorry) so if you want to forego that's fine. Though I'm craving Indian and would love to see you.

Oh noes, more online training for really basic administrative crap. SO BORING.

And slow because the year for tracking training is the calendar year, so lots of people are accessing the training site and it's slow like molasses. Bah.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

People, why won`t the Things All Clean Their Damn Selves? Although, I must say, the SO did the guest bathroom, bless him, and lots of other stuff. But I am just in the throes of All The Things. I should probably do minor housekeeping more than just when someone`s coming over, huh? Or maybe have people over more often. Okay, next before checking back here...deck stuff to shed, wood from shed to deck. Then clothes away, then dinner.

mac has a friend over. all he does with this kid is play the ds. The kid is nice enough, but is a bit hard to deal with. I think he might have aspergers. He will walk away from you when you are talking to him and won't make eye contact very often, he started inventorying things in our car when he got in, and he has asked things like "how did Mac get so tan?" "Is his dad tan?" I said that is just the way his skin is. Mac said he didn't have a dad. He didn't drop it, he asked "what happened to your dad?" Nothing is bad about him, but you just kinda never know what is going on.

This is the story of my life. The frantic cleaning. The sudden realization that many things need to be fixed. The shoving things randomly under the be and into the attic, knowing that you'll never see those things again. The exhaustion. The vows to keep up with cleaning. The writing down of plans and lists. The backsliding. The despair....The frantic cleaning.

Do you all need a chore chart? I made one for mac and me, it actually helps.

I could use a copy - going back to work full time needs some organization

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Over the knee boots-back in style, or still fuck-me?
