We’re in clear and present danger and we still haven’t cleaned the bathroom! The inlaws are arriving tomorrow and I don’t know who is more shocked at the idea. Considering Ben has retreated to 14 hour sleep-ins, I’ll award him the medal. In fact, I am quite amused. I cannot wait to find out what they will think of Rome. How they will cope with its striking beauty and horrifying ugliness, with the smell of pee and roasting chestnuts. I can’t get enough of it, but I know Waynesville, Ohio and I know how different it is from here. They’re staying three (3) weeks (I still see the horror in Ben’s eyes every time he says that) and we’re hoping to send them on many mini-vacations during that time. I can’t help being amused, it’s almost silly. My mom and I keep wondering what will happen (she’s in a hospital, we have a very limited amount of fun resources).

And so the excitement goes on. And on. Today’s excitement is all about the cleaning. LOTS of excitement awaits.

I feel a bit out of sorts today. Lately, really. I find it more and more difficult to relate to my friends. Angela, for one. I guess four and a half years are a LONG time even for us. I’ve just grown more introverted as the Ohio time went by and now I just don’t feel like opening up. Especially not to some people. And it really gets my rusty brain cranky, but I can’t seem to make the first step. Maybe the answer is, as always, to lube it up.
