I'm going to go with dragoon. It sound piratey.
I used metonymy in my final status report, and not even strictly correctly. If I get called on it
and
corrected, I will do a fist pump of being properly one-upped. Otherwise, I have to do something to make me feel better about still being here and still going through emails. Almost done, though. Just have to do the Out Of Office prep.
Dusting, for sure. Unless that's covered in vacuuming.
I would vacuum or sweep every day if someone else were doing it.
Ooh, a daily helper? I'd have them vacuum 30 min every other day, but we have animals. What about dusting? Watering garden? Mopping (I HATE mopping)? Cleaning fridge, once every two weeks.
dusting, ok sure. I never do, thus forget it should be done.
This is what is wrong, I've been keeping house so badly for so long I don't even know what I am not doing.
I dust, but then you just have to do it again, and I get resentful.
5 pieces of clothing really take 1.5 hours? No wonder I don't iron!
msbelle,
cooking might take longer than 1 hour a day (depending on the meals), dusting is good.
for me, I have random tasks that would be helpful for someone to do (especially if they have a car):
- recycle batteries, household chemical disposal, get some of my donated clothing and items organized
- pick up dry cleaning (which I rarely get done), make phone calls and/or appointments for work people to give me estimates or whatever
- do you need gardening or outside work done?
I dust, but then you just have to do it again, and I get resentful.
So much this.
I would probably have a helper do errands, too.
