Meandering Mind

I'm sitting here after a very busy and tiring day, (I spent the day cleaning my house... no small feat let me assure you) and I am listening to some music in an effort to relax. My mind keeps wandering to different topics and ideas. It is actually quite relaxing to listen to music and to let your mind wander all over the place. You are in for a very weird experience since I thought that it might be cool to just write about what ever pops into my mind.

I am listening to Since You've Been Gone by Theory Of A Deadman..... seriously depressing words.... lovely music. Wonderful harmonizing. I can't believe that there is more modern music that I actually like. Most of the music these days has warbling girls who can't sing for beans. They warble all over the place and you have to wonder who actually told them that they could sing.

Hubby and I like to listen to Randy Bachman on Vinyl Cafe on CBC radio on Saturday nights. He usually has good music and gives you a lot of information that you would likely never know, unless you did a lot of research. A few months ago I sent an email and they actually read it out loud.

Hubby keeps distracting me by talking to me and here I am trying to write this and listen to my music and then he keeps talking to me which means I have to pull the head phones out of my ears and he tells me something interesting that Randy just said on the radio which means I'm not getting to listen a whole lot to my music.

My living room looks nice again and I changed the furniture around.... I figure I might as well change the furniture if I am going to have to pull out the furniture to vaccuum under it anyway. A change is as good as a rest they say and I tend to agree. The fact is that the woolies from spinning so much this week was starting to get away from me. The whole house had dust bunnies that were growling when you passed them... they were starting to escape the dark corners and chase us around. Scarey!

I know when the dust bunnies get out of hand that I have been remiss in my housewifely duties. Hubby doesn't see dirt and the kids know that if they complain they will be enlisted to help, so they tend to keep quiet too. I know when they do start to complain that I have really gone too long with out vaccuuming and dusting.

Duff is the culprit. She is so hairy and big and when she sheds hair its just nasty. Tootsie is a non-shedding dog and I like that. Do yourself a fovour and if you get a dog get one that doesn't shed.

I have never been the kind of person who puts housework at the front of priorities.... it is something that gets done when I have no choice but to be swallowed alive by nuclear dust bunnies or the kitchen floor can't support any more sticky stuff. I know that maybe the house needs some attention when there is a shower of stuff that comes down off the steps when someone walks down over them. When the logs in our house start to look grey instead of golden then it is time to vaccuum them too. There are just too many better things to spend my time on. You know. Family, spinning, friends, knitting, strangers, weaving, dogs, felting, farm, writing, spining, spinning and spinning some more. There's just not enough time to sweat the dust and dirt.... I try to get over it and clean when it gets out of hand. I figure I only have 70 odd or 80 odd years to live and I'm not going to spend any more time cleaning than necessary.

Well I had better go to bed and sleep because I need a clear mind for the Church AGM tomorrow...
Does your mind meander too?
