Coping

The cleaning frenzy started at 7:30 this A.M. As I wash and scrub all the things, I keep hearing Crazy Eyes' midnight mopping monologue in my head from Orange Is The New Black. 


"Sometimes the feelings inside me get messy like dirt, and I like to clean things. I pretend the dirt is the feelings, and the floor is my mind. That is called coping... You gotta start from the inside out, or else you’ll step on the clean."

  2. Huck wanted to say woof and that he misses you very much. He's settled in nicely and tends to follow me around. Sometimes he goes into his "hurricane Huck" mode - especially when we are watching the Red Sox or Patriots and the game is intense. It is like he knows. So we have to guard our drinks from flying toys. He loves sniffing and running around the back. He's probably peed on every bush/tree/plant out there, which is a lot! The three are getting along except for when Huck comes in from the back - Benji barks a bit, kind of like, "you're still here?" Otherwise they hang out on the command post and family room couch and now all three sleep on our bed!
