Mondays are my household-running days, so I’m missing all of the excitement at the Republican convention. By Monday, I always accumulate sufficient guilt for not doing anything around the house and being a free rider, so I attack household chores with a vengeance. At the end of the day, the guilt is appeased and I feel free to do nothing for the rest of the week.
Today I did the following:
– made mushroom stew. N and I are going vegetarian for the next two weeks. It will be a culinary challenge for me.
– made arrangements for the handyman to come this week to repaint the deck.
– made arrangements for a carpet cleaner to come on Wednesday.
– tried to get a shrub remover to come in but they are all booked up for the next 2 months. A bagworm ate one of our shrubs and I’m afraid it will eat the second one.
– so I also removed the worms that migrated to the second shrub and drowned them in soapy water. I’m an insectophobe, and this was a major features.
– did the dishes.
It doesn’t sound like a lot but I have an infant here and that’s the best I can do during her naps.
