Domestic Goddess

Yes, yes, that's me. Break ups have a weird way of affecting people. Tonight I decided to channel my single days and ask myself what I used to do on a Monday evening when I was home alone. CLEAN! I used to clean! So I grabbed my sponge and did dishes. I picked up all the little papers around the house and arranged my school books just so. The clothes all over my bedroom floor were swept up and sorted then thrown in the wash. Then, (this is where it gets very exciting) I ironed my sheets! Have any of you tried this? It seriously took me almost an hour and a half and by the end of the flat sheet I had no energy to iron the duvet cover. Do people do this every time they wash their sheets??? I don't know ladies. That's a lot of work for getting into the bed and wrinkling them back up again. At least I can say I did it.

In other news, my boss offered me a job today. Yay! I know that sounds strange but things got crazy the minute he won the election and he has been receiving about 100 resumes a day. Now I know my job is secure and I will be working for the Mayor. Yippee!!! No job title yet but that will come soon.

For some reason I am feeling more like myself tonight. I even had a grueling conversation with my ex while waiting for 2 hours to get a replacement tire put on my car. It was brutal but I think the cleaning did me some good. The ironing was a little extreme but there will be a great sense of satisfaction climbing into those warm, smooth sheets. I better get my glass of wine and US magazine. Bedtime here I come.
