Susan's got lots of stuff to tell you but she wanted to make sure you caught her current domestic situation;
Susan is ALONE. She is the solitary human resident of her house, just her & Lucy the four legged squirrel killer.
Susan is no longer raising her family, she is one hundred percent nobody needs her ALONE.
Does she miss having her family sitting at the dinner table like they did every night for 18 years?
Duh, yes.
Susan is nothing if not adaptable.
Being home without any hope of someone walking in and interrupting her simple train of thought is really kind of FRIGGIN' AWESOME.
Underpants only dress code, awesome.
Cleaning the bathroom & finding it still clean the next day, awesome.
Cooking or not cooking, awesome.
Sleeping alone in her kingsize bed, well that's not so awesome although she likes the option of piling everything she's reading over on the empty side. Susan still sticks to her side of the bed which surprises her because back in the day she'd spread out across its entirety if the husband was not available to take up his half.
Susan is still talking about the husband.
It's been a while since she's calculated how long she's endured without him; 1042 days. This number, while impressive, is only a portion of the 20 years, 2 months & 15 days they were married. And that's not even close to the full amount of time they spent running around with each other prior to their legal union.
Anyway.
Without her kids in the house Susan has to do all the chores that she would have previously pawned off on them, like taking out the garbage. However, this small domestic drudgery has already rewarded Susan with being in the perfect spot at the perfect time to watch Mrs. Drunk lurch up her front steps and fall through her screen door into the house. This was followed almost immediately by the detached screen door sailing through the air out onto the front lawn.
Susan actually had to put her hand over her big mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
