I just spent an hour picking off every fleck of nail polish, on both hands because I couldn’t just “live with the chip” on my thumbnail. Does that make me crazy?

Hi guys! I feel like I haven’t seen you in like…two years! I feel like National Blog Post Month messed with my brain in unspeakable ways because just about the instant it was over – I started getting things done again.

Our house has been a certifiable wreck since, well since March frankly – so, as you might imagine little “projects” like laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the toilet – you know, all that unnecessary minutiae – really piled up. I mean, really. To the point where it was either address the problem or set the back half of the house on fire. Shh! Don’t tell the insurance people.

Before you go thinking the choice was easy, remember I now have two perfectly cute rooms where even if they are messy – don’t look that bad, so choosing to leave them…and Tivo for any length of time, was honestly heroic, like Braveheart – heroic. That dirty toilet may take my life, but it’ll never take my FREEDOM! If you know what I mean.

I tackled the mud room first. Holy shitballs, you guys. There were half-eaten bags of chips from LAST CHRISTMAS in there. Next, the kitchen cupboards and the refrigerator. One nasty task after the other and after 7 hours – I felt like my old, anally retentive self. Sigh.

It’s good to be back home.
