And while it is rather annoying (not to mention a complete annihilation of any mysterious je ne sais quoi everyone likes to claim), there's something comforting about having those that matter, know you well enough to read your absences....
My neighbours, on the other hand, must really hate my ill timed forays into domesticity and cleanliness (actually, I lie. Even squeaky clean, I'll just wallow without guilt as I deplete the earth's water table - look, we're doomed anyway), which will have to be deferred to a more obscene 1 am while I get some much ignored emails done.
