I am so humiliated. The house is a mess, it's Saturday, the snow melted, the yard is muddy, the dog likes to dig in the mud and then scratch at the front door to be let in so the stoop is muddy, the screen door is covered with muddy scratchy paw marks, the floor of the foyer and the carpets have mud prints on them, there are newspapers everywhere, I am still unpacking boxes of books, there are dirty dishes in the sink, I think there may even be clothes on the floor, oh, God, and my bedroom is a horrible mess because my dresser is in the garage waiting for it to get warmer outside so I can refinish it and my clothes are stacked on tables, and Ben went to Tag Day today, to go door to door to collect donations for crew, and the lady that was driving the car full of kids just dropped him off and she had to use the bathroom. I had to let her use the boy's bathroom because the downstairs toilet chain is broken and Chris is at the hardware store even as we speak, getting a new toilet chain, and a tall ladder so he can fix the gutter which fell down, partially, from the snow, and is dangling in front of the door.

Now, I got up early this morning and Ben and Chris and I drove down to the marina and helped get the boats ready for the water, our job was to grease all the nuts on the oar locks, we did maybe eight boats with either eight or four oarlocks, and I got greasy and hot, and was thinking of taking a nap, but now I think I'll just cut my wrists, instead. Or put my head in the oven, but we have an electric stove.
