mono, cleaning, question

I think this virus is some sort of life setence with no parole. I just found out that my mono is active again, info that is the missing puzzle piece to the leignthy diagnosis I recieved this week. Today's task was to clean the house and prepair dinner. I have cleaned the bathroom and kitchen counter. I did sleep 3 hrs at nap time with the kitties and slept in til 10. I had mono back in November too and my poor cottage house has not rebounded from my lack luster energy and super power of "putting it off".

Voldemort got called into work and he wasnt able to help, thus far I have found 3 socks in the dining room as I have been flitting about in my house. The socks dont bother me, I just dont want to clean all day long as my house becomes less like a love nest and more like a rats nest. We talked about this and he commits to cleaning at some point in the rooms that he knows where things go. I am taking the time to label things in the bathroom- when I was sick he could not find the vicks or his comb. Or his keys and wallet. Note to self, get a place for him to put his stuff when he gets off of work rather than on the floor.

It is weird right now. I am in bliss having him here. This morning he asked how I was doing with us "being together for the longest stretch this far." The question sort of took my breath away. We had been sleeping in the same bed for 8 nights, ate 8 dinners and had countless medication doses. We are doing fantastic. The cleaning is our only gripe each of us have. I am stunned that it has been 8 nights. I have always thought that there was a stereotype of a temptress or really fun person whose boyfriend visited, stayed the night and then just never left. Instead, I was sick so he stayed and then I was off work so he stayed. I am not sure what tomorrow will bring, usually he goes home Sunday. I don't know if I want him to go home, and I know that I want more space in my bed. I'm conflicted.

Statistically, 50% of couples who cohabitate before marriage end in divorce. I have not seen the reality of this stat, but don't wish to find myself one of the divorcees. Voldemort and I have discussed this stat. He doesnt believe it and I do. What are your thoughts?
