Laundry. Oh how I just hate to do it. I tend to let it accumulate until you can barely walk across the laundry room floor, and then I grouse, and spend a day or two ‘doing it’. Tuesday was that day for me. I had so much laundry in the mix, that it will take me three days of washing, folding and putting away.
Now this will tell you that either we have a multitude of underwear, or we enjoy going commando, (sans underwear) which I can assure you, is not the case!
Day two will find me washing up the last of the towels and household rags. (Those are old underwear that have become dust clothes and window cleaners.)
Day three will be slip covers and the last of the sheets! And if I am not laundered out, I would love to wash the curtains in the bathrooms.
What brought up all this energy to do so much cleaning and washing? It’s hard to explain, but here goes.
I was rereading the blog from back in 2005. I realized that back in the days of dial-up, I was actually getting far more done. Here I am in 2013 and I have become a computer junkie! Yup, hardcore, computer, got to have it, junkie!
So my goal for a bit is to get more house work done, and for every two hours of work, reward myself with 15 minutes on the computer.
Of course, evenings are my own, at least after I do the dinner dishes and walk the dogs.
How have your lives changed in the last 8 years? Are you on your computer more or less? Do you use your cell phone more like a computer?
Yes, I check stuff more often, but more on my phone during the day. I do still get things done, but I do LOVE to check on what is going on online.
Crazy Wind here last night. I thought the house would blow away! Love YOU, Mel
Sadly I use my cell phone a lot for checking Mails, facebook, twitter, etc..
I try to not touch it when I am at home – or just touch it when there is an actual message coming in.
But it’s hard.
It’s funny how we could survive without a cell phone – or like now a Smartphone.
But even I still remember the days without a cell phone.
I managed successfully to not touch my Laptop during the week on evenings. When I am finally home from work and the stables it’s either watching some TV or reading a book. No more Laptop for me.
admirable goal! Good luck!
oh my soul … I remember the days of dial-up SO well!!! LOL
I am sort of a computer junkie – and like you, I try to limit my time balanced w/ getting my work done!
I am borrowing a smart phone right now – just til I can get my own (Dan has the cell phone that is ours) … and WOW, I am A-MAZED!!! That thing can do anything EXCEPT clean the house!!! LOL
