On her sleeve

    "What's she doing?"
    *shrugs* "She's cleaning."
    "Why?"
    *shrugs*

    "What?"
    "What are you doing?"
    "Cleaning."
    "Why?"
    "Why not?"
    "Are you okay?"
    "I'm fine. I'm fine--why?"
    *shrugs*

I spend everyday amongst my family. They know better.

Prior to this post, I put away a full load of dishes, then hand-washed all that was in the sink and on the counter. Then I scrubbed the bathroom clean and repaired the shower curtain. After that, I crawled up onto my bed and stared at nothing for no less than 30 minutes. Sometimes I wish I could just turn my brain off because it's just so good at writing stories.
