House girl

I am not working on my dissertation. I have to do more stuff to it before I file it in a few months. But right now I am like, 'F you, people, I am not working on it.'

So I need a new professional identity. This could be being CC's house girl. While CC works all day, I could clean the house and make cookies and move the plants around the dining room and that kind of stuff. Then, when she is done working, I could say, "Honey, how was your day?"

But CC refuses to do this.

Despite her refusal, yesterday I went to the grocery store in the morning and bought lots of groceries. Many old ladies shop at 11 am. Also house girls! I felt a sense of accomplishment. (Groceries pictured.) Right now I am doing the dishes (pictured).

Careful! There might be a muskrat in that sink!

I say, being a housegirl is a good life goal.

I concur with Tom.

But this brings up an interesting question. What are you going to call the bog in a few months? Dissertation year, in any and all forms, is nearing an end. My nomination is "Housegirl in Training".

Yes, I have to rename the blog or something. Or start a new blog even. What will I do?

I refuse to be 'housegirl in training'--instead, I am, 'housegirl, PhD.'

Why are we calling an end to the hating? Hating often gets me through the day. There are just so many people who have done me wrong. Why should I have to take the high ground and end the hating?

Just don't hate on me or on the muskrat. Why you hate me? Playah hatah.
