dchenesI was supposed to do a lot of chores at home yesterday, but I only got as far as replacing all the smoke detector batteries on the second floor, getting the crud off the tops of the kitchen cabinets while I had the ladder out anyway, Swiffering the bathroom and the hallway, and getting the cat hair off the top of the bathroom door. I still have to vacuum (ye gods, do I have to vacuum...) and clean the kitchen counters and the bathroom fixtures. And make beef and barley and mushroom something or other. And make a list of all the other esoteric things like flipping the futon mattress and finding something that will clean the refrigerator door (so far bleach, baking soda, Lysol kitchen cleaner and plain old elbow grease have all struck out).
Snip decided she had to help with the smoke detector batteries, and in the process of trying not to put the ladder down on top of her, I got tangled up with it and stubbed a couple of toes. Some kinds of help are the kinds of help we all can do without. But after I put the ladder away she came and sat in my lap and was a very good Faithful Catpanion for a while. And I have a reasonable expectation of not being awakened at 2 AM by a chirpy little bastard of a smoke detector this winter.
I haven't been doing a lot of productive gainful-employment work lately. But I thought about it some and decided that it's OK, because the Drama Llama got to pretty much avoid CODA while I worked my ass off for a year and a half. So now he's working his ass off for a while and I'm not, so much. It all comes around eventually.
