When the Divas are in the house - you'll sleep until 10 a.m.

Things I know for sure:
1. A shower is not the same as a bath and today, when I finally have the energy to take the hot tub apart and get the pump motor to Steve... it's raining.
2. I still wish they made a silent vacuum. I hear they do this in Japan, but in the states they tested one and people thought it didn't clean very well.
3. I am angry at Mark for leaving and I'm irritated that despite the fact that he's putting me through this, he seems to think I should help him... this is not the case. I have no interest in his moving impacting the things I can control, like the tidiness of my house and the usefulness of my car.
4. Some of those Divas are a hoot! Some are a riot! Some are insane!
5. I am still wondering what the beard on a dog is called.... I cannot find this on Google right now. Perhaps I need remedial googling lessons... what would you look up?
6. Chaco needs to run today.
7. I will never get over the miracle of seeds bringing forth green shoots.
8. I hope the corn loves the rain.
9. I am not going to reinvent the wheel of social communication... get thee on Facebook. It's as secure as it needs to be.
10. My brain says I can pick up the things in the car and move them. It even sees me doing this. My body says that I cannot even do dishes without pain. Does this fall under the "youth is wasted in the young" category?
11. I wish I didn't feel resentful, but I resent the fact that I am not making a living right now and therefore cannot hire someone else to vacuum the hair, dust the memorabilia, do the laundry and wipe down the cabinets. Besides which I want fresh paint on the walls and new windows and enough money to level and sod the back yard....
12. So, who's hiring?

I wish I were hiring.

It's okay to be angry at Mark for moving. You don't have to help if you don't want to. Man world things don't make sense in woman world. Like, "Hi, I'm hurting you, but you should act like I'm doing you a favor and be happy until I don't have to deal with you any more."

I'm sorry I couldn't hang out this week and that I will be gone next week. But when I get back, we need to do some serious hanging out.

It IS ok to be angry at Mark for leaving. I did some venting about it myself last night. Not about him leaving, per se, but about you being angry and sad and about him thinking you should be helpful and...grateful to him for allowing you to help him, or whatever it is that he's doing. You have only been unemployed a couple of weeks, it will be ok. You are one of the most resourceful people I know. And we can paint anytime you're ready.
