I am nearly done with Star-Anchored, Star-Angered. It's good!
Rook couldn't stop bustling and cleaning things like tiny slips of paper off of the front of the dusty bookshelves and I felt rather grim and teeth-gritting as I JUST dusted all the bookshelves. like, Monday. they are dusty again and re-cluttered. And it seemed like I spent all afternoon
a) cleaning
b) panting in the heat
c) sneezing from all the cleaning
d) making Moomin pick up his toys
and so it was making me strangely crazy for him to clean anything as if it were a reproach on me not having done it. It was a hundred degrees today... arrrrgh... I swear to god I was trying to be all thoughtful of my sister in law and the honor of Rook, and welcoming and stuff....
however the kitchen and bathroom were still nasty. and I am glad they are slightly less cluttered than they were. yet they're actually still nasty despite my hours and hours of "picking up" and sweeping and then Rook's picking-up.
fortunately my sister in law by this time knows perfectly well how our house is. She wants to come here cause it's homey and nice. i think she realizes that like, the sink is not scrubbed every day, around here...
Now that she is here i wish she could stay longer! she's fun to talk with! I miss when we lived near her in Ch1cago and would have game nights...
