I've been lollygagging about so far today and "should" get busy. I've completed an article that I will submit later today to the local historical association journal. I hate to say that its standards are not very high, they will probably be appalled that I'm using footnotes
but I'd guess they would print it in a heartbeat.
Dh will be home late - he's going to a shiva for the funeral he went to yesterday. It's a client so I don't feel I need to go along. I told dkids we'd have burgers or left over soup so that's easy.
I can't believe the rain and wind from Nate moved through here so quickly. The sun is out and it's 80 degrees and super humid today. I walked dMuffin earlier.
I'm going to set a timer and work 30 min and "play" 30 minutes and see how long I can go with that....will begin BOTH if anyone wants to play along...
bw2, there are just different degrees of bo, lightly organized, and not organized at all. I could see me in your dmom's place dealing with dd, whose ways I abhor, especially in my own house. She's much like Lucy's ds and ddil, I suspect. And although I might be in the place your mom is in, my standards aren't particularly high.
Harmony, I remember my dgrandmother's house (this is maternal grandmother) being such a mess! Clothes and things cluttered and everywhere. I never judged at that point, but remember it in retrospect. And my mother got the same way in her home. I suspect it's lack of energy but could just be that it just doesn't matter as much.
Dh just came home for lunch?
