5 Pointed Virtue

[qos]

*sigh*

I always feel virtuous -- but very tired -- after exerting energy in the Pentacles realm.

Today I had a doctor's appointment (routine), a dental appointment (twice yearly cleaning), then came home and made fajitas for my daughter and uncrowned_king, who has also been sick with a bad cold. He has a paper to write, so he retired to The Yellow Room soon after dinner. I cleaned up the table and the leftovers -- giving the Daughter a few minutes off before the rest of the work began. Then I grabbed her and we swept and scrubbed the kitchen floor, the living room floor, and the bathroom. She cleaned the tub while I did the floor and the toilet, and then we re-organized the shelves a long overdue task. It was a solid two hours work, all told. And the dinner dishes are still sitting on the counter and in the sink. They can wait until tomorrow.

uncrowned_king is still finishing his paper. The Daughter has taken shower, and she and I have cuddled, done bedtime reading, and I've put her to bed.

Now it's my turn to relax -- and it's almost bedtime.

I have been rather amazed how much I love domesticity. Now, reading your entry just makes me feel vicarious deep peace, and smile.
