Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Laundry. It’s never actually done. I’m good about getting it through the washer and dryer, but that whole idea of folding it and putting it away? Ew. And there’s only two of us living here! Why is there so much of it?! My husband asserts that I wear every piece of clothing I own every week. I do not. When I was heavy into running, I did produce more dirty clothes because my running gear was thrown in the mix. I think now it’s just because I don’t like to rewear the t-shirts I sleep in. I’ll rewear a pair of jeans multiple times. A shirt I’ve slept in though? Not happening. Though now is a good time to wear a shirt to bed more than once. It’s cold and so I don’t sweat at night. In any case, there’s always something to be washed. Laundry is like cockroaches. When the nuclear apocalypse happens, only the cockroaches and my laundry will survive.

  1. Dishes! We live in the house my husband was born in. The kitchen is too small and poorly set up for a dishwasher. Now that he is retired, Dan helps but if I never washed another dish it would be too soon. 🙄

    1. Ooh! Yes! That is my exact situation too! We have an old house with no dishwasher hook up. It was a rough adjustment moving in after apartment living with all the things. Surprisingly, dishes don’t make me as angry as the laundry. Dishes at least get done. I swear the laundry never does.

  2. It takes long to do because my husband does his own laundry and using the washing machine as his laundry hamper…lol.

    1. That’s annoying! Almost as bad as my husband piling his dirty clothes on our dresser when the hampers in the bathroom are less than 5 feet away.

      1. Oh wow that is bad. I just wait till my hamper is full and then tell him to do his laundry.
