As long as someone does my ironing and runs stuff to/from the dry cleaner, I will HAPPILY take on any other household chores.
Yeah. He's my hero.

Thrive to spite them
I hate all chores. Well maybe not hate, loathe and try to do without.
And damnit i forgot to buy a new dustpan AGAIN. I need one my other disappeared and using a piece of cardboard isn't really cutting it. Mr. R fell down on hard floor vacuuming as well.
My pants from Land's End came today! They are going to be returned to Sears on Monday! I don't know how, but they are about a half size too small in the waist and feel like a size too big every where else. However the thermaskin long underwear is great.

The real reason Kat invites me for TG is that I try to do all the dishes. Even when the sink clogs! (I finished them in the garage tub. That was before the whole sewer line clogged.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I will gladly take on ONE loathsome chore so long as someone ELSE cleans the litter boxes.
I'm assuming there will be cats in Buffista Island.

The whole sewer line clogged? Eeek.
I do not like scrubbing tubs or toilets. I'm also bad about dusting and sweeping and mopping. Which is why I hire someone.
But what I really want is someone who will occasionally do the "spring cleaning" things that people used to do once a year that I don't even know that I'm supposed to do? Or at least tell me to do them and how? Like...I dunno, wash the walls? Somehow clean the blinds so they are not icky? Regrout the tub? I'm not even sure what tasks these are, as we were very lax with that sort of thing, growing up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
From what I've read, part of the reason for spring cleaning was that the old kinds of heaters (either oil heaters or fireplaces) would leave soot and residue all over everything, so once it got warm enough that you didn't need the heaters anymore, you'd scrub all of that stuff off.

Meara, I'm with you on that.

Hee. You and your hatred of the vacuum.
You can't hear if monsters are sneaking up on you while you are vacuuming! Vacuum hatred is totes logical!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I will do damn near any household chore EXCEPT unload a dishwasher. I hate it. However, I will put dishes that have air dried away, no problem.
