Spiraling out of control

My kitchen looks like it hasn't been tended to in days (lots of days). The reason you ask? Well the end of the semester is always a mad dash. I have many things tied up now (I have been very productive), but I am now on to the list of things I have been neglecting. Dishes should probably be on there, but I have to admit I have more pressing things and I usually save that for a time when my brain is fried. I would be mad at J for not pitching in to help out on the dishes (when I am obviously preoccupied), but today we learned he has a spiral fracture in his right pinky finger. I guess that is a pretty legitimate excuse to stay away from dish duty. Especially since the injury was about a week and a half ago. He got it playing basketball, which further supports that soccer is a superior sport :) He doesn't meet with the specialist for another week or two, so we won't have any more answers about next steps until then. This just reminds me that when J does anything it is usually with fanfare - so a normal break wouldn't do for him - spiral it is! In the meanwhile let's hope the kitchen doesn't continue to spiral out of control.
