1. My chains are just long enough to let me wander between the laundry pile and the washing machine & dryer.

2. What's the use of reorganizing all of it if I'm not allowed to throw anything away?

3. The heavy bag calls out my name...and if I end up working out instead of cleaning, I'll get hollered at. Best not to risk it.

4. If I go down there...I might start to enjoy the quiet and privacy too much and end up moving there permanently. Like Grandpa Al Munster.

5. It's a sucky job, despite the plethora of dirty panties.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
