Housekeeper

Our internet subscription expired at midnight so I figured I could go outside today and do something useful. My plans included cleaning the barn, gathering old plastic sacks thrown around in the other barn, gathering corn knobs, fiddling with my veggie plot, reading and so on. However, my plans were cut short when G informed me that we have to go over to our friends' house to keep an eye on the house while they're off. Well, isn't that fun, I thought. No, it really isn't. You get bored easily unless you bring over your favorite book, do something useful, like cleaning the house, or surf the net, because your friends got their internet subscription, God bless them. 
Suddenly, the house, the temple of cleanliness and order, does not seem so sacred any more. G founds layers of dust on the living room shelves. However, I like keeping the bathroom door open. All those fragrances of beauty products lingering in the air... And the dog waging his tail in the dining room.. The owners would ban me from their home to see the beast in the house.


Got tired of listening to Radio One. While searching for online radio stations I found a search engine called Radio Locator with "over 10,000 radio station web pages and over 2500 audio streams from radio stations in the U.S. and around the world." My first destination was a French radio station playing dance music. I don't understand a word,  but I don't mind. As long as the music is playing. The last two hours flew by. I'm thinking of having some people over. Just to kill time waiting for the homeowners to come home.
