OH GOD!! I HAVE STARTED TALKING AND YELLING AT THE TV

I have never ever been one to talk to the tv.  I mean seriously, who does that other than old men watching the news? " JUST DROP A FEKKING BOMB ON THE WHOLE LOT...GET IT OVER WITH!!!!!"

Ah jeez...I noticed lately I have started to make acerbic and heated remarks...to the tv....in a very shouty manner.  And they aren't just aimed at the poor hapless news anchors.  I have started to call reality contestants 'dumb asses'.  I think the line I most direct to the more stupid ones is "WELL WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN??!!" in such a manner like I expect them to answer. Who hears?  Who cares?  Who am I directing this towards?  Its like that proverbial tree that falls in the forest...no one is in my kitchen to hear me so really am I saying anything at all?  Do all people, no I change that to women because we know all men already do it, start yelling at their tv's when they live alone?

I find I also talk to my things.  Like pots and pans.  Laying on the floor on my stomach, rooting around in that impossible corner pot cupboard... "Okay you little bastard, why are you hiding in the very back of the most difficult cupboard in the house?  Why can't you just be near the front, you know you are the only pan I ever use.  What the hell is wrong with you?"

Or just the other day I started shouting at my stove.  I mean I already have a problem with both my dishwasher and my fridge.  "Okay WHY NOT???  GO AHEAD...DON'T HEAT UP PROPERLY, JOIN THE OTHER ASININE APPLIANCES IN THIS STUPID HOUSE WHY DON'T YOU?  MIGHT AS WELL NOT COOPERATE TOO, YOU PIECE OF CRAP!!!"

I have given this phenomenon some thought.  Men just don't give a shit who hears them or how annoying they are when they do this.  Maybe thats the key.  I don't care how dumb I sound and actually you do get a bit of release when you yell at your pot or stove or tv.  You women out there should give it a try.  Especially those of you with annoying shouty husbands.  With any luck it will piss them off and you will feel a little better!!! A twofer!

Alice came yesterday.  I asked her if she would clean my basement.  Blair and I got everything in place and emptied out and ready for show but it was still dirty.  Grubby windowsills, fingerprints on the walls, dust everywhere, filthy floors etc.  So down she went and the place is now sparkling and amazing.  She straightened out all the stuff on the shelves and organized games and books and records etc.  She cleaned that awful bathroom that a herd of boys had been using.  The place is beautiful and she has forbidden all of us to set foot down there now!

Tomorrow Anne is coming up.  I think I will get her help with the kitchen cupboards.  I am throwing away everything.  There is stuff in the big pantry cupboard that started four years ago in Langford.

  When I get the cupboards all empty, packed and sorted..Alice is going to clean them too.  She has kind of taken over the getting this place ready and I am quite happy and okay about that.

  I need to buy a can of white ceiling paint and cover the little grey spots that got onto the white paint.  Plus I need to paint over the water stain on the ceiling downstairs.  Alice says to just leave the stairwell and bathrooms.  People paint after they move in anyway.  Well, that would save me some money!  So I think I shall!

Very soon now the place will be listable!!  I am so excited!!  For many many years I have said that I want to be a homeless bag lady with a shopping cart.  It would totally suit me!  Just maybe that will still happen.  A dream come true!

Holy crap!!!  Its only ten after 8 in the morning!  I have been up for hours.  I thought it was noon.  Wow!  I just gained half a day...at least in my head.  Gotta bounce!  TTYL  (still waiting for that doctor call)

NO CHANGE :(
