Laundry. I like doing dishes.
Hung 2 shelves, three pictures and need to go buy screws for a couple other things. Big storm just moved in, but I'm going to the hardware store anyway. One more box emptied!

My favourite chore? Cleaning the bathroom. It's finite and give me a sense of accomplishment.

Oh my god. That's the #1 chore I loathe. All the ick and the hair and more ick. And the toilet.

Steph, I live alone, so all the ick and hair is mine own.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would very much like to put up a bunch of clothes and clean up my room once we get home, but I'll be sitting with mac while he does homework instead. I used to not mind doing houseowrk when I could turn on some music and just do it uninterrupted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Greetings from sunny Milpitas where we've been holed up in a hotel all weekend for a baseball tournament.
We're in the championship game at 2:30. Emmett hit a home run yesterday, but has merely been playing okay-to-good. His friend Jack made a jaw-dropping play in our semifinal game this morning. He threw somebody out at first from left field.
The batter hit a clean single (or so he thought) into the outfield, and was trotting to first and Jack (from medium depth) launched an incredible throw that beat the runner by a half step. It must've been 180 feet on the fly.
I'm glad Perkins the Cat is back and peeing all over everything. Glad that ita is properly coiffed and hope all the not-well people get better.
I've got to go check out. Wish us luck!

Yes, on handling the ick of dishes or bathroom cleaning. Rubber gloves help, but only some.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'll do your laundry and dishes if you'll clean my bathroom. And I'll do windows if you'll vacuum.

“Not dead yet!”
Laundry. Laundry can go away and DIE. Hate it with the heat of a thousand suns. I have no food issues, so I don't mind doing the dishes. The only time it ever bothered me was in college when I had roommates who would leave crap around for days on end--like the icktastic "Creamed chipped tuna" that the bitch left in the pan, on the stove. I threw it out, pan included, after about four days. She was furious because it was her "good pan." I said if it was so good, she wouldn't have cooked that shit in it to begin with, much less left it sitting there.
