...noon, we discovered that his fish had decided to take a ride on that great porcelain bucket headed to the sky.  A trip to Burger King for some mood enhancing grease ensued. I spent 5 hours yesterday cleaning the living room, dining room, and hallway - and rearranging the furniture to suit my autumn/winter self.  I find that my personality is very different between spring/summer and autumn/winter. ...

...and no I don't think it'll stop him from jumping the fucking fence. Behind it all I have my mother making me feel bad for not wanting the damned dog. But I guess since she's not the one constantly cleaning up puddles of piss.. or having to smell it despite her efforts.. trying to get it off the base boards and their cracks and crevices.. and seeing the stains on the walls and KNOWING that they're...

The day is slowly becoming productive. I have a second load of laundry washing and the first one drying. I've been grocery shopping with teh husband (where I bought the Western Family All Purpose Bleached...with freezer organisation. It won't stay that way, but at least it's a good start trying. The fridge is next. If I'm not heard from in a few hours, check the crisper. It may have eaten me alive

...something, a clothing item... whatever it is, I stop what I am doing (I was reorganizing my pantry--good times, seriously) and actively search for until I am satisfied. For example, as I was cleaning out my pantry, I decided that I needed food storage containers for things such as rice, beans, pastas, etc. I have a few from IKEA, but I realized that I actually need more. So, I dropped everything...

...I was doing and I was so embarassed and mad at myself for waking her up (she has to get up really early!) that I just started apologizing over and over. She said it was ok, and I said I'd finish cleaning tomorrow. So, she went back to bed and I (quietly!) finished cleaning the kitchen so when her mom brings us the furniture tomorrow she'll see how nice we keep the place normally! So, that's my...

Today was a better day. I'm still hurting but not as bad. I'm feeling hopeful. Also Elke behaved herself, lol. She and Florian did a ton of cleaning and organizing too, and she took a lot of his stuff to go into storage at her place. YESSSSSSSS. So guess what? Now our dining room can be used (as soon as I can comfortably sit at the dining room table)!!! Idk. Not much to report. I actually got a lot...

I was pretty freaked out when I realized that it was Boots who'd died, so I was glad to have something to divert my attention this morning. Down to the basement. Dad has been spending time down there recently..."straight" (her words) life back in the day. Yeah, there's the possibility that what I found a couple of weeks ago actually is *hers*--or, possibly, *theirs*. God. I'm like Alex P. Keaton, aren't I

i got motivated today, i cleaned out all the closets, arranged the spare bedroom, unpacked the last boxes, found our crystals and organized the kitchen. i also organized all my sewing crap and found a...a lunch shift which should be interesting considering i haven't worked in four months and when i did it was only one day a week. might as well get it out of the way though, i am scheduled saturday night

I was at Dollar Tree the other day and had a Eureka! moment in the dental/shaving/antiperspirant/pet products aisle.  :) I came across Plackers Interdental Brushes and they are perfect for cleaning the holes in the Diva Cup (and I am sure the other cups as well).  I bought a couple packs, but they are reusable, and now keep one in my "cup mug" (I have a large mug that I keep under the bathroom sink...

I had a crazy day today. Usher had to prod me out of bed this morning. Had/have a terrible cough and sore throat and didn't want to go to school.. The rain and wind was out of control today causing traffic...don't have to make kemilion's macaroni & cheese for freezer and dinner. I hope it stops raining tomorrow. We have to take out our AC and cover up our windows... goodbye sky! See you in the spring..
