Sunday Housework

Oh, Happy Day! I think I'm really getting farther and farther out of my funk. I've been doing so much housework lately. I know it may sound crazy, but I think the stereo helps. No TV! That's what I'm talkin' about. When the TV is on, you have to sit and watch it. Well, we don't have cable right now because I didn't pay it. So, we've been listening to a LOT of music. Radio is sometimes better than CDs because of the variety. And the music in our home BLARES!! It's wrong to play music softly, unless it's during an intimate moment. <wink wink>

I've cleaned the kitchen (twice) in the last 4 days, cleaned the bathroom, vaccuumed, cleared the computer desk of crap, and filed my manuals, paystubs, medical receipts, and various other paperwork.

Yes, the funk is fading. Even Alex has joined in. She's taken care of the pigs, the cats, some laundry, dishes, and taken out the trash! On top of that, she's been relaying the stuff that she's been learning in school. This is important. It means she's not slacking (yet). German is exciting for her, as is her anatomy and philosophy class. Now, if only I could get her excited about learning to DRIVE!!

During my cleaning today, I found something interesting from an old acquaintance, and it made me feel extremely happy. I'm going to share it here now. Although I will leave his full name out of it, I would like to express thanks to Shaun W. for this piece, regardless of however long ago it was written. Thank you.

     "And so what is this again, my words seem to land at the worst times leaving me blinking as my lips start to mutter. You wait for me to say that I need you. But you already know I need you more than my last breath. Prove me wrong. It's not his arms which make me angry. I am certain his kisses are not greater than any my mouth is capable of giving. Many nights I often try to pretend my kisses were his. But you already knwo you are the only love that exists in my life. Prove me wrong. It's not  my antisocial lifestyle with makes friendships uncommon. I am myself. I have no one else to blame. I have no regrets about the path I have chosen. I'm asking you to walk it with me, hand in hand, hip to hip. But you already knwo what a fool I can be when I make perfect sense... Prove me wrong."
