Thank God Almighty, I'm Free At Last!
Thu Oct 02 2003

Today I am a free woman.

I am home in my very own favorite chair listening to the washing machine churn and slosh as it cleans a load of underwear. . . . Bliss.

Robbie senses something different about today. He knows I have no shoes on. This can only bode well, as he figures, no shoes, no leaving the house.

I feel like someone who has been half alive and is waking up from a semi-coma like state.

You should SEE my house. Everywhere you look there are piles of stuff to put away. Then the surfaces they were piled on need some serious cleaning. (Don’t scoff Pragmatist, you would NOT recognize this place.) There are canned goods bought over a week ago still sitting on the bread table in the kitchen waiting to be put away. A LOT of canned goods. (Costco run)

Last night we removed all the books from our two book cases and switched them around in preparation for the arrival of the new furniture tomorrow. They are all cleaned and polished, but today I have to put all the books BACK! But oh my, what a lovely task compared to shuffling papers . . .at bureaucracy central.

Hark!

The clock chimes the ¾ hour and I am IGNORING it! I don’t have to go anywhere today unless I want to.

I am woman, hear me roar!

Well, I would love to chat, but I have books to shuffle. Our books. Not someone else’s books, that right there is worth 10.00 and hour! And if I feel like taking a nap right in the middle of the job, I will!

I should make signs for all the cozy places in the house with arrows that say ….. “Curl Up Here”.

    Okay, I'll take your word for it. The house needs some tending to. But I'll bet it'll be all ship-shape by the weekend.

    I think snuggle corners are a good idea. And a nap, oh yes, a nap in the middle of the afternoon. Absolutely!

    But you're going to have to get those cans put away if you're planning your own challah for Shabbat. ;-)

    Shalom!

    What are you going to do with your old couch? I bet your four legged family members will miss it.
    I'm very happy for you! I am going to live vicariously through you and my daughter, who is also in the process of preparing for a new couch and love seat with ottoman. She is giving us her others which are in pretty good shape but need covers. Take care and don't forget to floss. You are a short timer
    in that area, also!!!

    I took the test, the results are in my diary. So now I find myself wondering.... What were your results?

    A prayer for the old couch and all its years of faithful service.

    There is nothing more satisfying than reorganising the bookcase, I consider it better than zen like meditation. I found a great new to me crime writer John Connolly, you should check him out I'm not sure if he writes about near your neck of the woods?
