You can’t help what other people think. I’m sorry you’re feeling cruddy now!

It’s clouding up here, too. I’m about to go upstairs and see if I got the one thing I wanted for Mother’s Day: for all the young persons to put their clean clothes away. (Assuming I would not, I ordered myself a book from Alibris.com. Thomas Sowell’s “Knowledge and Decisions”. It will come in a week or so.

I asked the other parent to give an opinion on whether the clothes were put away. On the floor in the vicinity of the dresser meets his definition of “away.” In future, I’ll remember that it’s not disobedience: it’s genetic.

Thanks! I keep thinking I’ll keep that stuff to myself because no one is really interested, and it just comes off as complaining. But there it is.

For whatever reason, I woke up and tossed and turned for over an hour before giving it up as a bad job.

I kept thinking about the move, and how to pull it all together the last two days, and I already know how to do that!

How hard is it to deliver something so simple as putting one’s clean clothes away? Evidently, pretty hard when genetics are involved. I hope your Mother’s Day was otherwise a happy one.
