I lay on the floor of my den balled up like a fetus in the womb and cried, "Please dear God! No more house cleaning!" What followed would be a cigarette and then the thought of doing more terrible chores. There was a lot more thinking about cleaning than actual cleaning getting done. I am not very domestic.
My 4 AM in the morning guest to-be was George. I went for a morning cup of coffee at Fat's. George said, "Why didn't you answer your door?"
"Dude! It was freakin' four in the morning," I told him. "You 'bout gave me and Maggie a nervous condition."
"You always used to get up early anyway," George said in his defense.
He wanted to borrow money. I had two dollars to my name. One sure thing about George is then he never fails to pay you back. I just didn't have any to give him.
Mom came by this afternoon. She brings three 20oz Coca-Colas with her when she visits. I swear those are the best damn cokes I have ever drank. I can just feel all that caffeine coursing through my veins. Don't say, "I told you so!" if I have a anxiety attack drinking this stuff. It is my version of living dangerously.

a friend who always pays back a loan is a friend indeed, and a friend who loans what he has is a good friend too!
i hate housework. hate, hate, hate it...but i do love a fairly clean house. i cleaned this past weekend and i am hoping to maintain the cleanliness instead of letting it go too long and feeling guilty about not cleaning.
I love my house to be sparkling clean, but HATE the act of making it that way!
I don't answer the door very often even in the light of day, much less at 4 a.m.! George is always full of crazy antics that keep me laughing!
I hope you have a beautiful day, my friend!
No told you so on this end. Hard to give up everything.
I know you will think I'm crazy but I actually enjoy cleaning my house. When I clean, I fly around doing everything at once and somehow in the end it all gets done. It's a good way to use up some calories too! :-)
4 in the morning isn't getting up early. It's getting up in the middle of the night!! :-)
I like cleaning, too! I'm glad you found out who your 4a.m. 'guest' was! That was scary!
Does caffeine make your anxiety attacks worse?
4am? Uh, yeah, that's early, I think I'd freak out if my doorbell rang that early.
Being from across the pond, I have a few English friends who occasionally forget I'm 8 hours behind, so at least a 4am phonecall doesn't usually scare me any more.
