Potties

I am sitting here in my office that I just spent two days painting. I am SO TIRED. I painted with my husband for quite a few years until I wisened up and got a job where I wouldn't have to slosh through mud to slink into the nearest port-a-potty shared by thirty other men from the surrounding construction sites. I wonder if that is why I have so many recurring nightmares that I am in a filthy bathroom. It has become a major phobia for me. ( That and the mud-- I hate mud) But it makes me seriously appreciate having a job with access to one of the prettiest, CLEANEST, and genteel bathrooms you've ever seen. And the toilets even flush (gasp!) and I can actually wash my hands (wow!) AND IT EVEN HAS A BUILT IN AIR FRESHENER that sneezes out sweet smells every fifteen minutes. And get this--it has a Victorian sitting area for nursing mothers with a little fireplace and everything. I don't know if life could get any better.

Gratitude:

1/ Food to eat
2/ Clothes to wear
3/ Freedom
4/My husband
5/ Feeling hopeful
6/ My dog
7/Opportunities to sing

Clean bathrooms, yes. They are good. But I got really used to bad bathrooms whilst in India, and I think I've built up a tolerance.

So glad you wrote!

LOVE YOU!!!

I love sitting on a nicely cleaned toilet, knowing that shortly thereafter, I will be washing my hands to my liking.

Tedder's gratitude for Lidder's blog:

1) SAVE RURALROSY!!! Never let her parish!
2) Loving the fact that you mention the air-freshener... Aren't they amazing???
3) Anyone whom has had to be in yucky bathroom dwellings SHOULD boast about their new bathroom FREEDOM and love of the THRONE!!!
