Idle hands…
I’ve never been one to buy into this particular adage, but there are times when idle hands certainly become a bane, LOL! Rather, hands idle at creation can be stiff when it comes to application.
I’ve been so busy lately using my fingers for DIY projects or housewifery that I find they’re uncooperative when I sit down to finish my latest ms. I promise, this post isn’t actually about writing, but rather something I pondered today: can I possibly blame my lack of enthusiasm for laundry, dishes, and vacuuming on my hands being ’stuck’ in creation mode? ROFL, nah, I didn’t think so, but heck, as much as I loathe household chores, I had to give it a go, right?
Oh, you guys’ll get a giggle out of this. So, I go to get in the shower this afternoon, since I suddenly found myself with five minutes alone in the house (anyone with kids probably knows what I’m talking about, LOL). Anyway, so I get the water all set, I step in, and HOLY SHIZNIT! The dog decided she wanted a drink of water - she had an entire bowl of it on the back porch - from the tub. So she hopped in too! WTF?! LMAO, now even the dog has to bust in on me at bathtime! Can I get NO time alone, LOL!! *sigh* So, I put my shower on hold and bathed the dog instead.
And yes, by the time I could bathe myself, the dh and our youngest had returned home. Ah well, I guess I’ll start bathing at quarter past four in the am. At least then, the only thing that’d bother me would be the cat, and at least I know he won’t be jumping in!
