Bored but busy.
It's amazing how bored I can be even when I have a lot to do.
I need to clean the house, dig out extra sheets and blankets, make a shopping list, do laundry, the mountain of dishes that lay in the sink, and keep an eye out for the UPS guy.
The headsets
I hate that.
On Wednesday after school, I'll be having the boys help me do a deep clean of the whole house so that Shell doesn't have to walk into, and deal with, teen slob hell.
I have to constantly remind them to flush the toilet.
I know, they are teenagers, what is up with that right?!
Well see, during the rainy season, when the streets flood and the septic drain fields are completely saturated, the rule laid down by the landlord goes like this;
"If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down."
Yes, I know, totally gross, but on septic, it helps to keep the tank from having the pressure build up and then if it does, your toilet backs up, and your house gets flooded with gallons of water.
It's happened about 6 times in the 10 years we've lived in this duplex.
But it's not the rainy season anymore. It lasts from June 1st to November 30th.
It's long over, they can flush safely again.
But breaking them of the yellow mellow habit is rough. By the time I get them broken of it and flushing after use, it's rainy season again.
Oy!
So anyway, I've been harping on them for the last 2 weeks to flush, they can, it's safe, please for the love of all that's right, flush the damn toilet when we have company here!
So Shell, I am apologizing in advance, if you go into the bathroom and are faced with a bowl full of piss, it's their fault and my landlords, it's a man thing, sorry.
Oh what am I saying, you live with men too, I'm sure they have nasty toilet habits too. It really is a man thing. Ha!
So we're going to deep clean the whole house on Wednesday after school, and then I'll be awake until Shell arrives around 1am.
Then her and I will climb the 89 steps at the Ca d' zan, and I'll beg her to go see the monster that ate New York a million times.
I mean, if I have to walk up 89 steps cuz the mansion is NOT handicap accessible, she should have to sit in a comfy theater seat for 2 hours and watch it with me right?
Right?!
I thought so.

Yay, Shell's coming to visit! Are you going to go to the midnight screening? I notice they are doing that in some Rave Cinemas, but I'm not sure about the other ones.
