Much whining, snark and foul language follows the break.

So. It has been a fuck of a long day. I did get in a nice walk this morning, though the response I got on returning home was “You went on a walk? You needed to go to the liquor store for House Guest!” from honey (who was shooting trap while I was on my walk, which I pointed out). So far today we have had:

1) 4 loads of laundry while making breakfast, etc in morning

2) clean the house again, because one guy is messy but two are pigs*

3) brief oasis of calm on my walk

4) play impromptu chauffeur for house guest and honey as they made up for not seeing each other in a while by attending every beer soaked locale in the area

5) make dinner for two inebriated males who were “bonding” on the back porch (house guest was smoking, and honey, who recently quit, was standing as close to him as possible breathing his air)

6) listened sadly as HG talked honey out of making an important phone call that could have meant his dream job, or at least meant having a realistic conversation about if he could afford to take his dream job or not

7) clean up after dinner.*

8) look for the 15 year old indoor cat that House Guest let out because he thought it was funny to joke around about letting the cat out and the cat really did get out

9) get pissed at House Guest and tell him so

10) get rude surprise when honey tells me to “get over it” because “hey, she’s fine isn’t she, and HG is our guest”

11) mumble “not for long, after that little stunt” and brew some coffee, because OH HELL NO I am not trusting his ass to not let the cat out again in a moment of carelessness. or the 11 year old dog, for that matter. grumble. mutter.

12) get set up for tomorrow (I make honey lunch and get coffee ready to brew for both of us before bed each night).

13) remember I am angry at honey halfway through the routine of making his sandwich, leave honey with half a sandwich in fridge. act mature by mumbling about “making your own damn sandwich” as I slam the fridge closed.

14) take the laptop upstairs so I can work into the wee hours while house guest sleeps on couch downstairs

15) find messy bathroom. clean some more. the hell? men really are piggy in groups, aren’t they?*

16) clean litter, feed cats, feed dogs*

17) get fussed at by passed out honey for waking him up to get a towel for HG

18) write snarky blog post about my shitty day

19) realize that really, except for the cat incident, the day wasn’t all that shitty

20) debate deleting snarky blog post

21) leave snarky post up in the interest of “keepin’ it real” on the blog.

*note: when honey has a house guest, I clean so they can have some fun, and when I have one, he cleans so I can have some fun. It works out.

    This is why I never ever let anyone stay at our house. We’ve had one house guest since we moved into this house (a Cascadian, oddly enough), and I decided midway through that week that I would never again allow anyone else to stay overnight in my house. Ever.

    Can you tell I feel really strongly about this? ;-)

    I can tell, and I feel your pain. Add in a few more “ever. ever. ever.” comments… :D House Guest moved on to other couches this week, though. I think I pissed him off yelling at him about the cat, and he thought our couch was not comfy. (makes mental note: keep couch)

    I must be whipped, because there’s no way I’d get even halfway down that list with my wife.

    LOL – have her email me her secret, would you? ;) No, really, I don’t normally do that much, um, “caretaking”, but when one of us has a houseguest, the other one tries to do more than normal so they can spend time together. :D
