OH! Okay

You have a birthday the day after one of my Housemates

woo housemate!

I need 20-30 for dinner....

Later, Shady

whuff. Ran errands over lunch and didn't bother to eat, and suddenly wondering why I'm all shaky.

Leftover stir fry to the rescue

woo

allllll the meat is broken up into freezer bags

Nice job

but gonna be too whupped to make fancy dinner tonight, I can tell

Hey, at least some stuff is prepped

well, I am not freezing the drumsticks

I didn't portion a whole pack, because I am always sad there are not more leftovers

Gotcha. I have distracted myself with real estate in other countries. I have found a house I love in Warsaw. Gee, I would only need to be a multi millionare

See, I would be WAY too intimidated to want to own a house that big and fancy

I'd love to visit it though

ooo

Yeah. Translation says it's in an exclusive neighborhood which means even if i could afford I'd probably have a bunch of richbloods eying me like a peasant.. but damn it's gorgeous

:woman-facepalming: 'Help clean up' means HELP CLEAN UP. NOT DEMAND WE LIST EVERY SINGLE ITEM TO BE DONE!!!!

Hey, some of us want specifics, details!

I think it might be part of malebrain. "Can you clean the kitchen?" He wipes counter.

Me, "But what about the sink, dishwasher, trash, crumbs, stove?!" "You didn't mention those"

Silly programmer needs specific instructions. 😛

Oh yeah, learned helplessness

"If I am slow and annoying enough, maybe I won't have to do this unpleasant thing?"

"BONUS: I can complain about nagging wife/mother/girlfriend!"

Did you know if you're bad enough at a chore, you only have to do it once? 😄

Oh, no, I -enjoy- calling your ass back to do the same job 8 times.... I'll do it! AND You get to do it ALL WEEK!

you are a stronger lady than I, O Shady

I generally give up and just do the thing to keep the peace

They have done studies, as a GENERALIZATION, the male tolerance for filth is much higher than the female tolerance for same

women get judged more harshly for a messy house

This is true.

What Shady's kids don't appreciate is that years from now, some lady will be 'wait, you know how to clean properly? Do you cook too?"

I will swear evidence to agree with those general studies, D. It goes with the Y gene, I swear.

But it's all good, BECAUSE..... we're entering the teen years. And I make them do their own laundry. And they're about to find out why.

And they will BELIEVE.....

I haven't touched an iron in... Thinks back Geez. Decades

I am also single.

Coincidence?

I just buy stuff that doesn't need ironing

I'm talking just pull bed clothes and towels, bring the hamper down, move it through the machines, fold/hang, and put away.

that's a lot of things!

I can do the laundry, wash and dry, and then it will sit there. "Didn't you say you'd put your clothes away?"

"I'm gonna"

Well in your defense, we have not yet met the ultimate heat death of the universe, so I SUPPOSE you maybe were going to

eventually

in general, if you are careful when pulling stuff from the dryer, you can avoid most ironing

I check.
