Do The Damn Dishes

A morning stream of thought

By Sara WilsonPublished about a month ago • 3 min read

Ok.

I am going to do some housework and then get ready for the day followed by turning everything off besides Zelda. No phone. No computer. No Vocal. No Facebook...

Crap... I have my segment today in the Vocal and Assist group. Let me do that now before I forget!

What time is it anyways? Where is my phone?

Woah... why do I have 47 Instagram notifications?

Why do I have texts trying to reset my Instagram password?

Why is my message box overflowing with threats?

Who the fuck is whaleskin?

Why the fuck is she telling me she's gonna fly to where ever I live and beat my ass. What is happening?

Oooooh ok.

She's mad because I stood up against her bullying a sixty year old woman.

People who are chronically online are weird. Go breathe some air whaleskin.

What was I doing? Oh yeah... dishes.

Oh! Lily... look, your missing piggy plush is right here!

Yes, he is adorable! I'm so glad Piggy is found. I gotta go do the dishes.

Leftover pizza for breakfast?

Well ok... I mean... who decided what time food was appropriate for? I'm drinking a Monster at 6 a.m., why can't you have pizza? Sure. On the dino plate? You got it.

Here you go.

What was I doing?

Dishes!

Oh no, laundry is done. Let's fold that so it doesn't get wrinkled. All the hangers are still in storage so I can't just hang it up.

Ok. Done.

DISHES!

But first, the dog needs to go out.

Ouch, why are my legs so sore? Ugh... I'm over this. My check engine light has come on this month.

That reminds me. I need to make my eye doctor appointment. And pay that bill for the cancer screening they want to do... in 7 months. Why do I pay it now?

Where am I gonna get $387?

Why do I pay $700 a month for insurance and still have to pay almost $400 to be seen?

American health care sucks.

Why is it seven months away? The appointment was supposed to be done 8 years ago.

I hope the cancer isn't back. That would suck.

Biscuit, go potty, already.

Oh, hi, Son. Yep. Taking the dog out.

You wanna play Zelda today?

Yes! We can play together. But first. Dishes.

Ok, here's your treat Biscuit. Go lay down while I put this laundry away and do these dishes.

Hand me my phone, Baby... Daddy is calling.

What's for dinner? Chicken. I'm making chicken. Please pick up milk on your way home. The kids are out so no cereal today. They had left over pizza. And don't forget I need to have atleast $200 for their school supplies this week. Thanks. I love you!

DISHES!

Oh, yes... I can buy you $5 of minecoins. Let me put in the password.

There you go. Oh no! Writer of the Week! Forgot to post!

Oh great. More text messages about drama. How did I get tangled up in all of this stuff? Yes, that person is awful and, no I don't feel sorry for them. What do you mean they're running multiple fake profiles?? And why are they harassing everyone in their own circle under fake names?

No. I can't. This is too crazy. I'm gonna sit this one out and continue to ignore this looney toon. Thanks.

Writer of the Week. Oh yay! S.A. Crawford! Love that! Let me post something fun for her and I hope she gets tons of love. She's such a talented writer!

Oops. 'Bag o members'?! Did I just post that?? That wasn't weird at all...

I'm gonna leave it because it was hilarious.

Alright. DISHES.

Sheesh. there is dog hair everywhere. Ok, I'll vacuum that up and THEN do the dishes.

Done.

Good morning, Izzy!

Yep. Pizza for breakfast is fine.

Ok, I'm gonna put these towels away.

Don't open the door for strangers!!

I said don't open the door!

Oh hi, welcome to the neighborhood! Yes, our daughters are the same age. Yours likes art too? That's awesome. I'm so glad they will have someone to play with. Thanks for stopping by.

Ewwww it's sooooo hot.

I'm taking a shower. Please behave, kids.

Oh where is my conditioner?? Please bring me a towel.

I know you wanna play Zelda.

I have to do the dishes.

Ok... another load of laundry is ready.

Yes, lunch time. I got you.

Now dishes.

Sure, you can watch that while you eat.

Let Biscuit in the house when you're done.

Yes, the dishes are done.

Oh... your lunch dishes need to be washed.

No.. I'll do those later.

Let's play Zelda.
