Fucking laundry. It's never DONE. On Grey's Anatomy, Cristina Yang once said, "I don't do laundry, I buy new clothes," and I wanted her attitude so bad.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I still have laundry hanging to dry (okay, it's long past dry) from last week, and I need to do more laundry. It's a curse.

Yeah, I need to do laundry, too. And a bunch of dishes. I wish I had a dishwasher.

I can't do anything right today, and if you don't believe me, just ask my mother.

My most-hated chore. I don't mind the washing and drying; it's the effing folding and putting away that sends me into a despair spiral. *Looks at two baskets of clean laundry, sighs*

Me too, Strix. Now that I have, blessedly, a washer and dryer in the house, that part of the chore is easy. It's the folding and putting away that never gets done.
Really, I need to finish the reorg and purge of my closets and drawers, so I'll have room to put clothes away easily, without having to shove anything in, and without tripping on shoe boxes in the process.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I kind of like the washing and drying part because I can do something else and tell myself I'm accomplishing two things at once. Even folding isn't too bad if I can detach my mind and let it wander -- it's sort of a mental equivalent of chewing gum. Putting away feels like drudgery far in excess of the actual effort involved.

I need to just throw away all my orphan socks. I keep telling myself that it will be much easier to sort my socks if I only have known pairs, but I imagine that there are orphans silently screaming "No! My mate isn't missing! It's in the other room, for the love of god, don't leave us separated!"
I should probably avoid anthropomorphizing cloth.

You're not alone. I anthropomorphize everything.
Maybe that's why I like Marie Kondo's book so much. She treats everything as if it has a spirit, which comes rather naturally to me.
