Just Around The Corner; Dust Bunnies And Mops

Diwali is around the corner and gone are the days when I actually looked forward to it.

Well, not to seem like a stick in the mud but Diwali is becoming a pain in the neck for me these days, literally.

Two reasons;

#1 The High Priest and Priestess are not as young as they once used to be thus not as able to fully participate in preparations for the "soiree".

#2 The High Priest and Gdaran aren't the most enthusiastic when it comes to physical work that involves sweat minus 'fun'.

So, being the most able bodied, mother-loving, willingly obliging, young, strong(er) person in the house, I end up putting a smile on the face, with a boost of confidence from the stereo, get down (occasionally up) and dirty. Trust me, it's no where close to how it sounds when the DJ says it.

This year is no exception as it has been for the past, 5 years or so. I finished my Diwali shopping a few weeks ago and I bought only the necessities, plus a few extras for dance training and sleeping (alone---in the bed---at night---not sex---ok fine! jammies---not that I use them anymore---ok fine!! boxer shorts!!!).

Gdaran enjoys his Diwalis every year...

Three reasons;

#1 His taste for clothes isn't always good but they're rather blindly expensive. And he derives pleasure from it.

#2 Sloshing is obligatory during Diwali.

#3 Minimal involvement with dust bunnies and mops.

Owh well, for the sake of the light triumphing against the darkness, as Cookies and Cakes usually say, "Happy Cleaning!"
