no no no

when you get to
the end
of a big project
like
remodeling
a house
some things begin to drop away.

here are some of those things
as we are experiencing
the beautiful journey of a remodel:

no picture for your blog
no shower every day
no cooking or grocery shopping
no weight loss
despite all of the physcial labor you are doing
and the state of clinical
dehydration
your body reaches
on a daily basis
because you are eating take-out
all of the time
and you feel entitled to things
such as
but certainly
not
limited
to
milk shakes
and onion rings
no married-person-snuggling
no exercise
no attention paid to your real jobs
no payment of bills
no lack of whining and crying
(and that is just herb!)
no pleasant under arm odors
no clean clothes
no one scrubbing the bathroom floor or toilet

nope
none of it.
