Why is it that just when I apply lotion to my hands, something happens to require I wash them?
- The cat comes in. Everyone knows you have to formally greet the cat with much praise and stroking. And apparently Cat Rule #1 is, "Always roll in dirt before coming inside."
- An olive pit goes into the garbage disposal and I have to stick my hand down the scary hole to get it out, all the while thinking it could kick on at any moment due to a fluke electrical short.
- I remember the garbage and recycling were picked up earlier and I should return the cans to the backyard before 1) it gets dark, 2) it gets colder, and 3) I forget to do it altogether and the neighbors whisper about us behind our backs for leaving our cans out past Can Curfew.
All that moisture-rich, lavender-smelling goodness down the drain.
