I am not one for a lot of excitement. I’m pretty much the most boring in my family. But that’s not a bug. It’s a feature.
At the school, I usually volunteer for the most menial jobs. My favorite is cutting the Box Tops to size. I can sit there and do that for hours. Counting band instruments? Count me in! Organizing tempera and acrylics? You betcha!! I love doing that stuff. It numbs the senses, letting me think.
Lately I have had the need for meniality. The more numb I am to emotional stuff, the better I function for the family. Compartmentalizing isn’t my strongpoint. Not by a long shot. But finding a way to do the everyday things that need to get done is important. Having a set of habits helps, such as the coffee ritual every morning. I now feel the need to yell at a speck of dust that dares to think to settle on the coffee table. It’s not an obsessive thing by any stretch. Ok, the yelling may be. I can’t help that. Ok, maybe I can. STOP JUDGING ME!!
Being numb isn’t always a bad thing 😉

Pole Dancing would maybe be a great hobby for you (s)

The speck should have known it entered a Free-Fire Zone . . .
Send word, Ms.Aggie if you need to relieved for a spell . . . not to worry, I do not drink lifer-juice, so your stash is safe.
Jerky on the other hand . . .

HA! We bought a big supply of jerky at the gun show this past weekend.
You can have a few 🙂

I would just need a six by four foot space on the garage floor . . . and means of washing my gear as required.
Thank you for the offer of a few pounds of beefy goodness!

Another thought, I think I need to have my keyboard looked at . . . it keeps dropping letters and whole words . . .

Hm…I don’t see where…
But then again, English is my second language, so there is that.
Oh, and we have a bonus room, with a big screen TV and XBox, so there is that, too 🙂

Ooooo . . . bad . . . unsat . . . wrong answer . . . you might never get rid of me . . .

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

At least you’re not “Comfortably Dumb” and voting Dhimmicrat. We’d have to send in Teh Cyanide Squad if you ever get to THAT level. 😉

YOU BETTER RUN!!!!!!! 😀

It is Ms.Aggie’s indulgence in beef jerky and jelly doughnuts that immunizes her from such social poisons . . .
I suspect cordite helps too . . . along with that machete.
June 8th, 2012 at 4:18 PM
Mmmm…cordite… 😀

Ah, there’s solace in the mundane, isn’t there?
June 8th, 2012 at 8:48 PM
I agree Sir, routines can provide a comforting structure for the psyche, especially if the outside world is chaos.

Yes indeed!! I am Mistress of the Mundane 🙂

That’s kinda how I feel about mowing the lawn. A mindless task that frees up my brain to focus on other things. And speaking of lawn mowing, I guess I better get on that task soon, it’s been 2 weeks since it’s been mowed.

Yeah, talking about the lawn, check out today’s post…
