Today is Sloth Day. The last week has been full of stress and agony and emotional insanity, and so today was declared Sloth Day.

First, we ran about finding food and snacks and “munchies and crunchies”, movies and pomegranates. Then… then we made a clever strategic decision to burn some popcorn. We needed to burn popcorn in order to smoke the wasps out of the fireplace.

Jennie had trouble with wasps in the chimney over the summer.

So, it was a good idea, until the smoke woke up the wasps. Sloth Day continued with us lazily airing out the house and dodging wasps and shooing them out the front door. Bastard wasps

DCF 1.0

So, we boarded the fireplace back up, ordered some pizza, sat back and watched “The Black Cauldron”, “The Sword in the Stone”, and now we’re watching “The Rats of NIMH”.  After this, possibly on to Atlantis. Sloth Day has only slightly been undermined by a call from the Rocky Mountain Bullhorn requesting an interview…

I held back from telling them that today was Sloth Day and that they’d have to contact us later. I guess we’re not quite at that point yet.

Sigh.

In the meantime, I ate lots of vegetables yesterday, so I’ve had plenty of opportunity to sit and contemplate the state of my underwear. I need to invest in some new boxers.

Sigh.
