'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
sending out the ma~~~, ita. This sounds like a rough one
meara, DH has high standards about how the kitchen should be kept. But somehow he thinks if he makes it sparkle once a month, it will stay that way, even if he leaves dishes in the sink.
eta: Vacations always leave me with extra work. We were gone for a week. The house needed serious cleaning -- and the disaster cat! with expldong hair was home -- and he doesn't clean. But I have gotten an amzing amount done today.
Oh ita, such sad circumstances.
With a spouse, at least you have someone to blame. Here the messiness is all on me. I've tried, but it's hard to hold cats responsible for being out of clean forks.
Oh my ita. much ~ma for your family.
Cleaning requires incentives for me...when I'm not on my massive binges, which are clearly neuroses based.
Something that helps for me is making my own soft scrub. It actually makes me WANT to scrub the tub, no lie.
My cleaning happens thusly: I clean for 5-10 minutes, goof off for about a half hour. This cycle continues until bedtime where I begin the cleaning deathmarch where I can't go to bed until things are clean. Which becomes things are passable usually around 1:30 AM.
Much ~ma, ita. I'm so sorry.
I can't even think about it properly.
oh ita, I am so sorry.
you all are doing NOTHING to make me re-think this whole, making an effort to find a mate thing. I would seriously go on strike for anything a mate wanted if there wasn't help with housework.
Oh ita, that's just hellish. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry about your cousin, ita. How awful.
