Daily Chores



The vast majority of us can't afford a full time staff to perform those daily living chores for us.



Doing the dirty dishes...........



washing the soiled laundry....



Looking after the pets you might have.



Those general "upkeep" chores....




Which chore do you detest the most, yet must perform???

I just finished our lunch and loaded the dishwasher. I just seem to run out of ideas for variety in the menu. However, over the weekend I cleaned the cat liter box and dusted the main level. For me the drudgery is a toss UP between dusting and the cat liter box... To carry that smelly liter box OUT and dump it then wash it up for Pumpkin.

Uuugg yaaaa Mmmm! We have a pull behind raker for the lawnmower, however the flowerbeds around the place still need raking. I have one advantage of blowing the leaves into the ruff along the creek and burning them off with the weeds ! Poooft!

My least favorite household chore is shoveling snow, followed closely by raking leaves. Much like Strt, I don't do the house windows, ever. Car windows I don't mind doing when it is required by law.

It started out to be a nice day, getting to 32F by 11:30 am. The a cold front moved in and dropped the temp to +6F, with only one flake of snow, zero accumulation. 30% overnight, then the temp rises to a partly cloudy 39F by noon tomorrow, groundhog day.

I am going to see my Dr and pharmacist tomorrow to seek out some treatment for depression and anxiety. Also want advice to treat what appears to be a painful bone spur on my right foot.

I hate washing dishes, but I also don't like a dirty kitchen, so I wash the darn dishes! 65 years of doing dishes, a never ending job! Yeah, I was 5 when I started washing dishes!

The law steps in too many times under duress.

You were broken in early to the dish washing. I helped grandma however. I refuse to not have a dishwasher. There' be bloody revolution without one here.

I hate cleaning the oven, messy job. When in the mood I actually enjoy house-work. I love raking leaves and all kinds of garden chores.

I am seriously entertaining the idea to move the stove outside and use the power washer on it.
