Does this look like February? I’m squinting and it looks like spring to me.
SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 8
What household chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Is this a trick question? If I choose laundry will my washing machine suddenly break down? I hate them all equally. I used to wonder why I was so accident prone when it came to housework, but now I know it’s because most of it is so mind numbingly boring it’s impossible to pay attention to what you’re doing and incredibly easy to think about something else entirely and end up twisting your ankle or falling down the stairs. Especially when doing something disgusting like scrubbing a toilet bowl. Ok, for the absolutely hate part, that might be the one.
I do like a clean house, I just don’t love the household chores involved in getting one, especially when they can be worse health hazards than the ones you’re trying to avoid by cleaning up. House cleaners should get danger pay for bumped heads, sprained wrists, cut fingers, mental anguish and broken toes.
What was the last URL that you bookmarked?
Honestly I have no idea. Since W crashed his computer (he says it got hit by lightning and I don’t have the energy to argue with that) he has taken over mine and I use my iPad for everything. I never really had a chance to get used to Windows 10 but W hates it. I will convert him to Apple if I live long enough. He still has a flip phone. The two of them could be a museum exhibit. I did show him how to use bookmarks instead of putting a billion icons on his desk top but he wasn’t impressed.
Close your eyes. Listen to your body. What part of your body is seeking attention? What is it telling you?
My right shoulder is arguing with my neck about which of them can be the most annoying. Both are screaming for a massage. My feet are telling me to put some socks on. My right index finger thinks it might be arthritic. My brain says to ignore them all and go take a nap. I’m going to stop listening to my body now, thanks, it’s such a complainer.
Would you rather have a two-bedroom apartment in a big city of your choosing or a mansion in the country side in the state or country where you currently live?
Can you imagine how many toilet bowls you would have to scrub if you lived in a mansion? And how long the drive would be to buy new toilet brushes because you kept wearing them out? No hesitation here, give me a little apartment in a big city. Somewhere with easy access to all the amenities and where someone else is responsible for things like maintenance and flower beds.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
Today the appliance repairman replaced the broken spring on our dishwasher door so I’m grateful to be able to use it again. He says it will now last us another 20 years. How scary is that? It could live longer than I do. W says we didn’t really miss it, although I don’t remember him personally doing a lot of dishes in the sink this past week so I’m not sure how he came to that conclusion.
Last night we went out for ‘all-you-can-eat ribs’ because we are crazy and forgot for a minute that we’re not 300 pound football players with voracious appetites. Live and learn.
I’m looking forward to experimenting with my new water-soluble wax crayons. They’re like water colours and oil pastels (neither of which I like all that much on their own) combined. Can two wrongs make a right? So far the answer is yes, but I suppose I can’t pretend to be an expert yet. Give me another twenty-four hours. Or until all those ribs are finally digested, whichever comes first.
Easy access to everything in a small apartment in a big city? Your farm roots are in hiding. That answer surprised me.

I’m afraid I was never much of a farm girl and was quite happy to move away. Then my husband took me to the Arctic. Then the farm started to look pretty good. lol

Ribs sound delicious but too many of them can be exhausting on a stomach. I would have chosen the mansion but then you brought the toilet bowl cleaning to my attention… although if one lived in a mansion surely one would be able to afford a housemaid as a direct consequence? Well. This post got me grinning for the morning, happy Wednesday to you!

The waitress made a mistake and brought us double refills, so we brought ribs home. W is still eating them!! Too funny. Never again. You know in a big mansion I would probably just hang out in one small area of it, so all that space would be wasted on me. The maids could have the run of the house.😊

I would fail this test. Someone else cleans my house and I get David to do the dishes. The yard is a challenge, however. As for the body part, its a tossup. I have never bookmarked anything since I left school.
I prefer city living, as my gardening days are behind me. A two-bedroom apartment here in the Washington area is perfect. I had one before I married David. I must live where dogs are accepted, have a balcony for plant containers, a built in washer and dryer, and be near trees. I have already spotted a couple of places I like, thank you.

I think I have a fear of isolation and being too far away from things. Still like to be alone, but with help on the other side of the door if I need it. Plus shopping. lol
