Could've been better -- could've been worse

Dear son made a mess in the laundry room today. (Thankfully, it is not a nasty mess!) He's been taking his sweet time cleaning it up. Unfortunately, he will not clean unless I am in the room with him, and then it is sometimes at a snail's pace. Fortunately, I was able to be with him and also supervise the others. Unfortunately, it's not a comfortable place to spend several hours. Fortunately, I was able to distract myself by finishing two books I hadn't picked up in quite a while.
