The long discussion

Wednesday

I got up around 7:30. I brushed, swabbed, rinsed and gargled. I prepared for Meditation Morning. I exercised and read for 30 minutes. I meditated and tapped. When that process was over, I cleaned the bathrooms. I stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and mattress cover in the wash.

I worked in the kitchen, wiping counter tops and washing dishes. I checked messages on my phone and online. I vacuumed the den and mopped the kitchen. I took a shower and got dressed. I trimmed my hair. I swept the hall, diningroom and livingroom.

I watched some videos from e-mail. There was a nice one on how to make sandals from an old tire. I put the sheets in the dryer. I scrubbed burner bowls and set them up to dry. I pulled out the two trays of chocolates and put them in a container in the fridge. I folded laundry.

It was unusually warm (for February) so I went outside to poke holes in gopher tunnels and pour pellets in. But it was windy, so I did not light the smoke bombs.

I played my trombone. I went through some hymns in an alternate hymn book and made some copies for future Sundays. I drank vitamin C water while working on my blog. Chris came from work, then went to Mass.

When he got back, he went to change his clothes. When he came out of the bedroom, he was just livid that I hadn't folded his socks when I folded the rest of the clothes. It made him feel that he wasn't important to me and that I didn't respect him. I figured there had to be more to it. So we had a long discussion. So long that we didn't have time to watch TV. I took my evening supplements and brushed, swabbed, gargled and rinsed. Then I read a few last e-mails while he went to bed.
