What’s a small or minor habit your partner or significant other had that turned you off or made you want to end the relationship?
I once dated a guy who had a disgusting house. Not just hoarder status, but dirty too. Gross. A bachelor pad is one thing, but layers upon layers of dirt and grime is another.
I guess there is someone for everyone, no matter how often they brush their teeth or if they wash their hands after using the bathroom. But I always preferred people who actually already knew to do this.
I still remind my adult kids to wash their hands. They get annoyed and say they already know to do this but hey, I’m just a mom, it’s my job.
Lucky for me, Clint has great hygiene. He’s probably more picky with cleanliness than I am, to be honest. Teeth, body, hands, you name it. He keeps hand sanitizer in his truck and uses it after he’s been in a store, etc.
Me, I don’t even own hand sanitizer. I don’t like it. I do feel like my hands have the ick when I get home from shopping and I IMMEDIATELY wash them with soap, but I won’t go to the extremes (as I think of it), to keep hand sanitizer in my care. Not since Covid days anyway.
Happy to be at home this morning. Now no more going anywhere for a while. That nearly eight hour drive home from Winnipeg was brutal, as it always is.
I wrote in my journal this morning that I feel confused as to where to put my extra time. While I’m still contemplating city council, the fact that I’m not 110% sure that it is what I should do, in itself, makes me think, maybe not.
Also, my non-profit that I started The Sidney Project, needs some attention. So maybe my time and energy is better spent there.
Sid has an older bio sister who Cordelia is in contact with via Snapchat and she had a baby in the spring. She snapped Cordelia while we were in Winnipeg to ask if I could keep her baby while she’s recovering (from what, I don’t know) in the hospital. But holy crap, my plate’s full.
Not sure I want the responsibility of one more baby geez. I’m a bit flattered she asked me because I barely know her but, guess we’ll see.
