In that few days, things have been different around here! The following is a rundown of the different areas and ways in which things aren't being run quite the same without Doralyn here:
Vacuuming
I've discovered that the roaming tumbleweed-like balls of cat fur tend to obediently roll out of your way as you pass by so, really, no need!
Washing dishes
Many "dirty" dishes can be used over and over again, sometimes with just a quick rinse. Why waste hot water?
Cleaning hands after doing kitty litter
Why bother? Scientists say that if we don't build up an immunity to the germs around us then we are doomed.
Laundry
"Darks" can be washed with "lights", there's barely any difference!
Dusting
I never go into nooks and crannies---do YOU?
Putting clothes away
If there's a whole half of a bed not being used, why hang things up?
Garbage
If you're not in the same room as it, you can hardly smell it at all!
Feeding the cats
This doesn't change. I'm not stupid.
Booze
I drink to cope with my true love not being here. When she's actually here, I think I call it "re-hydration", or something like that...
Snoring
This is one of those "if a tree falls in the forest" kinds of things. If no-one's around to hear me snore then I guess I don't!
So there you have it, hopefully I haven't forgotten anything major. In a little over two weeks Doralyn will be back and things will return to normal. In retrospect, though, I should probably make sure they return to normal before that happens...
