Typical Infmom progression.<\/p>\n
* Look at list of things-to-clean-before-party.<\/p>\n
* Begin with living-room alcove full of photo storage boxes and personal tchotchkes.<\/p>\n
* Pull everything off shelves in order to clean shelves.<\/p>\n
* Clean shelves.<\/p>\n
* Start putting things back. <\/p>\n
* Go to locate earthquake-sticky-stuff, which is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
* Decide, what the hell, there’s time to run over to Home Depot and buy more earthquake-sticky-stuff.<\/p>\n
* Walk out door to go to car, discover that computer glasses are still on face, drop glasses into outsize zip pocket of new Victorinox bag.<\/p>\n
* Decide, at Home Depot, to buy some almond gloss enamel to paint the doors in the living room, which have been half-paint-half-varnish for heaven knows how long.<\/p>\n
* Find that locating a simple quart can of almond varnish is a far more difficult task than expected, and locating earthquake-sticky-stuff even more so.<\/p>\n
* Pay for items via self-checkout.<\/p>\n
* Return home.<\/p>\n
* Discover that computer glasses have fallen out of bag at some point between home and mid-Home-Depot.<\/p>\n
* Discover that cat has peed on kitchen rug and pooped on laundry room floor despite clean cat box with brand new litter.<\/p>\n

* Walk back in kitchen and step in residual Nature’s Miracle on floor in bare feet.<\/p>\n
* Stick items to shelf in alcove. Return photo storage boxes to their shelf.<\/p>\n
* Shove all other residual items from alcove into Trader Joe’s bag to be dealt with later. (this is the Official InfFamily Method of dealing with Extra Stuff)<\/p>\n

* When F’zer calls to announce he’s on the way home, suggest going OUT to dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
