WEED OUT THE IMPOSSIBLE
I think dishes qualify, vacuuming, cleaning windows, and folding clothes. Hell, cleaning clothes at all. Paying bills should be tacked onto the list or replying to emails that really shouldn't need a reply.

I REMEMBER
I remember the heat of him as he'd push up against me, gin-fouled and smelling of Camel Wides.

A friend and I walked a labyrinth today. An eleven-circuit labyrinth haloed with lavender. Even with all the snow, the lavender tinted the air with its scent. We walked in silence, crunching through the snow, one foot after another, until we reached the center.

ALWAYS TIME FOR GOOD DISCUSSION
Life keeps whispering to me, "Stay in the conversation," but I don't instinctively take that advice. I'm more apt to leave the conversation than use my voice; instead, hightail it out of there.
