I'll sort my own socks, but I rarely have more than 3 or 4 pair in a load. I buy all the same brand and mostly the same color socks for DH and they all get dumped in a drawer unmatched and unfolded. Makes for more sanity that way.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
There's not much I can do to make me do chores I hate. I pretty much put them off until there's no alternative.
Or until the internets get slow.

I've recently taken to timing how long it takes me to do the things I prefer to put off, then I can remind myself how quickly I'll be done next time I want to procrastinate because they are generally things that take under 10 minutes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So how do you make yourself do the things you really hate to do, but have to get done - at home

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

To which I say: "You've seen this episode of CSI, like, 4021 times. Get off the couch already."

But I'm just fucking exhausted, and the day's barely half over.
So...I guess I'm not going out writing tonight after work after all?
Take her outside is my advice. Put her in the front pack and walk. She'll conk out.

Oh, poor JZ and Matilda. Peace to you both!
These earplugs have been in my ears every night for the last 20 years. They are fantastic for cutting out the very high level tones but leaving you able to hear everything else. I cut one in two so each package is actually 12 pairs...and I reuse them, so they end up not being expensive at all. And the peace? Priceless.
When my friend's baby wailed in my house for, I kid you not, 5 straight hours one night...these babies saved us both.
eta: I get my supply from Target...and am continually looking for a source where I can buy them bulk. Seriously, if Mack's ever goes out of business, I'll never sleep again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
