The truth is that I hate chores and when I say I hate chores I mean it. I don’t like to cook, wash or clean. But then I must do chores because I can’t wear dirty clothes out, if I want visitors I can’t have them come to a dirty house. If I have my way I would rather out source these things. The reason why I find it difficult to do chores is because by the time I am done with mind jobs I am so mentally exhausted that I just sleep, and when I wake up the next thing on my mind is the next project I’m working on. I know it’s not an excuse but that is me. I do not do chores because I like them, in fact I do them because I just have to and if I don’t no one would do them for me. Once I clean a place I wish it would just remain clean and I do not have to clean again because anything that would make it dirty again would mean it would have to wait.

But then again if I am using a washing machine or using a vacuum cleaner, It would be easier because this time I am exhibiting less strength and I still get to see my house clean. The only one I can manage is Ironing. I would not say I love it, rather I would say I prefer it. I would rather iron a mountain of clothes that do the dishes or wash clothes with my hands. So long I got good music playing in the background and I got a good stress free Iron, I am good to go. I forgot to mention light which is the number one reason I do give my clothes to drycleaners. In this part of the world where electricity is not guaranteed, coupled with my busy schedule, I would rather give my clothes to a dry cleaner simply because I am not sure I would be able to iron them after washing, plus I don’t even like washing so why the stress LOL.
But then again given the right conditions, which are a washing machine and stable light, I could be washing my clothes and doing other things in the process which is what I love and after which I could iron my clothes as a form of relaxation even though it’s work I do not see it completely as work. The idea that I can make a rumpled cloth straight and look elegant always gives me joy, I’m somewhat looking for the outcome of such and when I get it, it comes with this satisfactory feeling. But then again, this doesn’t mean I want to do it all the time or would always be happy. The possibility of me seeing it as work especially when I have a lot to do is still there, and when I begin to feel that way, I might just go back to my dry cleaner LOL.
