Housesitting charms, lies and belies

Interrrrrressante.

Mmm, it's one of those stellar 21:28 o'clock moments with nothing profound in mind and a whole blank screen at your disposal. Dangerous!

I am comfortably uncomfortable in our office chair in my new house for this semester. House-sitting offers so many lovely fulfillments of unexpected anticipations, such as blank kitchen tables sitting on shiny hardwood, linen closets stocked with Swiffer refills, multiple bottles of Spray n' Wash, GalaxieMusic on Channel 900s, the silent scrape of a mailbox key, an entryway to be mopped, and a sliding closet door across an empty floor. It's the small freedoms that culminate in expansive, explosive gratitude.

Raucous praise for the wandering bond between retired couples and 20-something university students!
