Daily Chores
Monday August 15, 2005
I actually got up later than usual, which was nice. I called Tom while I made tea, and my breakfast breakfast drink. We talked close to two hours, which is unusual for us but very nice. Afterward I went upstairs to see if it was too late to go to a sushi lunch. Faol had slept 10 hours! He decided we didn’t really have the time for it. So we made love instead, then I came down and started getting things ready for him to go to work. Faol had several calls to make so was on the phone until time to leave. I find that inconvenient though as I had to hold clothes up and have him nod to tell me whether they were ones that should be washed or not since I was trying to put together a load of wash. I shoveled the cat shit out of the front yard and sprayed the areas with Febreze, got the load started, did the dishes, and puttered while he talked. At one point I picked up the phone, which was on speaker and led him into the kitchen so I could get him to switch the water bottles (5 gal ones are too heavy for me) and put the full one on the stand before he left for work.
After he left I meditated, did a bit of exercise before I realized I had
not had lunch so stopped and ate, switched laundry loads, watered plants,
made a business call for him and included some pleasure for myself in having
a chat with Foamy, entered receipts, which I am just about to go up and do
more of. I feel a bit better about getting some things done today but for
the most part it feels like busyness rather than real accomplishment yet they
are all things that do need to get done. Ah well… back to work.
