Perhaps...
You are wondering...
"Laurel, what do you do with yourself now that you have been a housewife for 3 whole days?"
Funny you should ask.
Today, after spending a few hours working on Daphne & Jim (atlastatlastatlast!!!) and with no freelance to keep me busy...
I made applesauce, pudding, and Jello (hubby is having his teeth out tomorrow) and poured 6 gallons of vinegar on the cat-peed rugs from the livingroom.
Now they are very heavy and I can't figure out how to get the rugs from the bathtub to the yard...
I went to the post office and mailed poems to a few magazines (fingers crossed) and to the bank to deposit a tiny check that would never have merited a trip in my employed life.
I swept the downstairs and loaded the dishwasher and froze the leftover chili.
I wrote an email to Josh Cory and one to my agent, Giles. Then I talked on the phone to my dad...
And now I'm sitting in my (almost) clean house and getting ready to walk the dog.
You might think this is all pretty boring. But I have to say that this is AWESOME! Let's see if I can stand it for a year...

I love that your agent is named Giles, like Buffy's Giles. Okay, I just outed myself as a huge nerd.
Sounds divine to me. Well, all except the cat-pee rug part.
Who knows what you'll be thinking in a year? Don't worry about that. Just stay with your daily grind and let it all flow in as it will. Did anyone ever tell you you think too much? *grin* Just let yourself relax for a change, love. You deserve it.
Hope your hubby's mouth is doing alright tonight... poor guy.
