I’m not very good at housework (yet another thing I blame on being an ACOA). I listen to friends and colleagues talk about their housework antics and I’m always left feeling incapable of even trying to keep up with them.
I often leave the washing up for “tomorrow”. I did that last night, for instance.
Hello, cockroaches!
Anyways, I’ve been feeling motivated lately and I’ve been doing a bit of spring cleaning as well as being a bit more “regular” housework. The dust storms of this week has heightened the need for… cleanliness.
So today I’ve been frantically working to clear out junk (and donating it to the CPS Op-Shop) and sweeping, vacuuming and mopping all the floors.
It’s a bit of a big deal.
Thankfully, our new security camera captures movement at the back of our place and snapped me MID-HOUSEWORK:

The topics include making decisions about:
It’s just too hard to put into tangible sentences without sounding like a sooky-lah-lah.
I also keep getting blog-fright because OHMYGOD someone else might read it.
Which is kinda the point, yeah?
My decisions on the those 3 topics are all linked; the butterfly effect that could make or break my brain.
And my brain hurts.
I think I need another session at Al-Anon.
Send cupcakes.
The clouds in these are just amazing.
