uh oh

you know

 how kids

 get into trouble

 when they are housebound?

  well

 with the super cold weather 

threat of more snow

 i opted

 to spend saturday

 in the house 

uh oh

 indeed

 i know

this is not something

 one should brag about

 i am a terrible housekeeper

 terrible

 may be 

an understatement

 i dont clean

 oh sure

 i clean up the bathroom

 in a hit/miss fashion

 i wipe off the kitchen counter top

 when the cats spill their water 

i wipe it up

 if a friend is coming over 

i have been known

 to

 vacuum

 swifter

 and/or

 even 

wash the kitchen floor 

toonman

 usually vacuums

 when

 the dust bunnies 

a combination

 of

 actual dust

 cat hair

 and

 my hair

 threaten

 to take over 

but

 i really

 try my best

 to ignore dust 

well

 i was in the bedroom

 standing in front of my dresser

 now i can no longer remember what i 

oh wait

 i do

 i was getting dressed

 i had opened the dresser drawer

 and

 for some reason

 i noticed

 that one of the many little boxes 

i have accumulated 

collected

 is too loose a term 

looked well dusty

 gah

 i know better

 than

 to look

 too closely

 i picked it up to wipe it off

 one thing led to another soon

 i was actually taking things off

 rather than wiping around them

 i lifted one small box

 that

 holds some delicate necklaces

 i keep meaning to buy one of those key holder boards

 you know

 with the hooks 

i got one for larger necklaces

 but 

the little fine ones need a safer place

 anyway

i lifted the box

off

the dresser

 put it down somewhere safe 

 4 necklaces

 fell out

 immediately

 as if

 out of fear 

they grabbed onto one another

 tangling 

twisting

 i just left them there 

maybe

 that was a mistake 

maybe

 while i finished dusting

 they tangled themselves even more

 i knew

 i could never untangle them

 without ripping them apart

 out of frustration

  oh yeah

 i have no patience 

i can't do untangle

 i brought them to toonman

 he said something i wont share

 i tried to explain

 i didn't 

do

it

 on purpose

in no time

 he got two of them apart

the other two

took 

a

a lot longer

a lot longer

i think i have used up all my untangling help for a long time 

i think i am going to go online and buy that hook thing

right now
