WHO: Thomas and Lydia Martin WHAT: Playing House (and not in the fun way) WHEN: Tuesday WHERE: Their house WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
Having a house seemed pretty glamorous, Thomas had to admit. Unfortunately, the truth wasn't quite the same. Oh, he loved having his own place, and making a home with Lydia. But the house was very much a fixer-upper and that meant that there was a great deal of fixing-up to do.
Thomas didn't mind doing it, but it was exhausting, and he was discovering that he didn't really know that much about repairing houses. He was having to constantly refer to google to teach himself basic plumbing, basic carpentry, basic pest control, and the myriad of other major and minor problems he'd come across.
Right now, the problem was the ants that kept finding their way into the kitchen. He'd googled a thousand memories, and yet every morning when he grabbed the sugar bowl for his breakfast, there they were. He didn't really want to use chemicals because it was the kitchen, but he was starting to run out of options.
Frustrated, he went into the bedroom where Lydia was sitting, and collapsed beside her.
