Still Overworked.

But happy. You know me: I seem to do a bit better when there's slightly too much to do, versus too little.

I'm so behind on housework that my husband folded laundry today, which is this sort of cute/sweet thing he does when he sees that I'm under stress.

It's actually rather brave of him: would you want to fold the laundry of an obsessive-compulsive proofreader? I mean, everything's fine and wonderful until she discovers that you put a dish towel that had a bleach stain on it back into the dishtowel drawer instead of one of those strategic "rag stashes" that lurk in the kitchen and bathrooms for quick clean-up jobs.

Then her perfectionism comes out, and all hell breaks loose.

I'm so glad I don't have to live with me. Oh, wait . . .

1 I used to be perfectly competent at doing my own laundry before I was married. Now I rarely dare run a load. Not that I particularly mind...

2 Curious; when I married it turned out there were many things at which I was apparently incompetent. Now that I am divorced, I must take them up again, fortified by the knowledge that I can now fold panties and bras with military precision - a darned shame the knowledge is now irrelevant! Do obsessive-compulsive proofreaders also fold their unmentionables in certain non-negotiable ways? If so, perhaps with minimal retraining, there's a future for my esoteric skills after all.

3 Waitaminute ... you are supposed to FOLD closes? And put them away or hang them up? I always thought they were left in the basket! I learn something new every day from blogs ....
