I don't mind doing dishes.
I don't mind doing laundry, but I don't like starting laundry very much.
I don't mind cleaning toilets but can't stand doing the tub/shower.
Taking out the trash? No big deal.

But there are two things I just really don't like.

Shaving and trimming my nails. Just hate doing each of these. I do it regularly but never enjoy it.

How bout you, goons?

I don't mind washing dishes but I hate drying/ putting them away and consequently large things like baking dishes or sheet pans fuckin suck.

folding or putting away laundry is its own kind of hell

Shaving and hair removal.

I hate hair to the point where I'll OCD pluck hair out of any offending location. This sucks since I'm a good German from Russia and we tend to be a hairy lot. I used to actually wax a lot of my body myself and it would take a pretty long time. I actually did 8 rounds of laser hair removal on my face with 'eh' results. I'm in the process of getting a consultation to get Electrolysis done on my face and junk because god drat do I just hate hair and I hate removing it constantly.

Laundry
Especially since I usually do the kids' laundry too, so there's a thousand tiny pants and onesies and socks and frilly skirts that don't fold well and the older one still refuses to separate her underwear from the pants when she undresses.

A little mental exercise I like to try, imagine you've been in MIND PRISON for 20 years now....

Little things like clipping your nails, and going for a quick walk outside to toss the clippings, is an incredible freedom that we all live, and don't appreciate.

Honestly, getting ready in the morning, not because I wake up tired, I have good sleep hygiene, get 8 practically every night, and after twenty minutes and a shower I'm practically wide awake, but rather because I'm ADHD ASF and haven't taken my meds yet.

Just today I had to turn around during my commutebecause I forgot to take my meds lol, up until they kick in everything is a series of steps I'm loving up. Oops I have to go back upstairs to the bathroom, I forgot to put on moisturizer after my shower and to use mouthwash after brushing my teeth. Oops I put all my clothes together but forgot to pull out underwear, gotta go back downstairs to the laundry room. Oh poo poo I put on deodorant but forgot to put on a small dab of cologne, got to walk out of the garage and back to the downstairs bedroom.

So a routine that on a good day takes 20-30 min becomes like 40-50 because I have to keep reversing to do poo poo I forgot.

Having ADHD and then dealing with post-sleep haze make you the most incompetent MF alive. At least if there's a fire my brain will be so disregarding of minutia that I'd prob run outside naked but have that save my rear end.

loving same. It wouldn't be so bad if my laundry was somewhere else other than the basement, and the place where my clean clothes need to be is the second floor.

No more stairs in my next house.

I used to love driving 18 years ago when I was a teen, and continued to up until like... I want to say 2014 when it seems like the massive truck meta accelerated enormously. Now there's never enough space on the road, you're getting blinded at night by LED headlights in your rearview, and you're surrounded by vehicles that have GREAT visibility... of anything that's more than like 10 feet away, so you have to contend with people who can barely see you if you're driving a normal distance, and who will tailgate you because they can't understand that what looks to them like safe following distance is actually right up your rear end.

It's like half the people on the road are driving mini-Semis that they treat like little sedans.

2. I will never touch the litter box.

I babysat my mom's cat for 2 weeks in the suburbs when she went on vacation. At first I thought it would be fun to drive again but no. COVID broke everyone's brains and now every drives like twisted metal.

Also driving for like 30 minutes just to get like a bottle of ketchup sucks rear end. All worth it for this little dude though:



Rest in peace little dude.

making GBS threads and farting and gurgling and all the annoying side effects of my favorite thing, eating. need to see a gastroenterologist and get my gut checked out so my making GBS threads and farting can return to the fun and enjoyable levels it was in my mid twenties. they might tell me "lol welcome to aging buddy" but at least it'll be someone with a doctorate telling me

People are definitely no fucks given when they drive now. its insane. when covid first hit and there was like no traffic I purposely went to the more expensive grocery store sometimes because there'd also be like no people.

it was THE BEST.
that was the only period where I enjoyed my job too.
we should have half assed lockdowns all the time.

For me, it's cooking. I'm not sure why (probably autism reasons) but even the simplest dishes take up a disproportionate amount of mental space and are often weirdly stressful to actually prepare. And I don't even care about food that much, either.

Weirdly enough, the same thing doesn't apply to baking. Maybe because that's more of a special occasion thing that I can devote a chunk of a day to, instead of something I'd have to cram right into a workday.

Something happened with the second to last tooth on my lower left side (I think it's a new crown too, I don't know though, honestly, I've had so much dental work done over the last year, I'm kinda lost...), like 4 weeks ago, and now everything I eat seemingly ends up in the gap there, and I HAVE to floss ASAP sometimes, as it becomes painful pretty quick. And gosh! Every time I floss this one tooth gap I am digging out whole salads and smoothies, cucumbers and apple skins.....
