Always with the sound of adults talking and laughing in the background and maybe a tv. I like your writing Char. It engages the mind to evoke thoughts that include visuals and feelings...not just plain thoughts.<br /><br />My joblessness has been yielding a pretty clean house as well. I seem to do a whole lot of nothing though that ends up somehow taking up the entire day. I wake up early but never get dressed before 11.
