I wish I'd heard of Sarah Haskins sooner.

I tried to get the video to paste into this window, but since it is not a YouTube video, it would not do so. Please pardon the link instead.

There has been so much to do to prepare for E's arrival. In truth, much of it needed to be done well before now. Since I've been watching the dog, there have been tufts of hair and stains from poop and pee in the carpet of every room. This means that yesterday I rented a home carpet cleaner and proceeded to thoroughly clean nearly every room in the place. Most everything majorly labor intensive is done, though there are still a few other smaller matters that need to be fixed. In particularly, the toilet in my bathroom needs a minor repair that I was too overwhelmed yesterday to want to be bothered to do it now. Today, however, I will force myself to get it done.
If I haven't been providing as frequent or as detailed blog posts, it's because I've found myself preoccupied with other things. Jobs hunting still continues to take up most of my time. This morning I am up early because I've got to speak to someone who works at an employment agency in Nova. They usually provide mixed results or jobs well beneath my skills or income needs, but it's worth a try in any case. In this economy, I can't afford to turn down any potential option.
In other news, I've had to kindly and tactfully wrest some of my free time back from E, who is slowly learning that I need a few hours of the day to myself to think my own thoughts. I think eventually she'll come to realize that these moments are where I recharge my batteries as any introvert will tell you himself or herself.
