I try not to be a gripey person. I take on tasks I dislike
and finish them. However, there is one household chore I really dislike,
and I think you’ll be surprised when I say...
Changing out the toilet paper tube for a fresh roll.
A few years back, Handsome informed me he intensely dislikes
putting sheets on the bed. I have to admit our bed can be challenging. Even
using deep pocket sheets, tugging the corners into place takes a strong arm.
Handsome has ripped a few. Finally, I decided to just cover the thick top pad
only. Problem solved? Yes; however, he still hates helping. He’d rather wash
the dogs.
Sometimes, writing drives me crazy . There will be a story
I’m working on with a difficult problem and I am reluctant to go back and tackle
it. The truth is my head will worry and worry and I’ll get some ideas. I write
them down, saving for when I’m ready. But the project is always there, almost
nagging me. Eventually, I do go back and when I do, HALLELUJAH!
The truth is the problem may or may not be solved. I usually
chip away at it through rewriting and editing, and then my issue will be
resolved. Not ideal but is the truth.
Many years ago, I critiqued six 1,000 words short stories
for a friend and in doing so, learned how to write short stories. I also
learned what is really important for very short stories. Other authors say they
can’t write that short. I believe it is just a matter of keeping an eye on the
word count and determining what is needed for the story.
A little hard work. Totally worth it. Better than changing
the toilet paper roll.

I hate washing dishes, hence the dishwasher. I believe it's because we didn't have a dishwasher as a child and my mom made us do it...in VERY hot water. Rubber gloves didn't help and so first chance, I got a dishwasher. :)
I'm also not much for dusting, although I will pull a washcloth out and do it. Matching socks for a family of four was daunting but still not too bad. Cleaning the rust stains in the tub, not fun. I'm too short and invariably do better when I'm in the tub doing it.
Now I remember all the things I have put off. Guess I'll go back and hide on FB.
Hi, Melissa! My mom had us dry dishes and she had a dishwasher. She thought it a good time to talk to us. And it probably was. I just wish she had spent more time doing fun things with us instead.
Dusting makes me sneeze. LOL. Don't have rust stains in the tub (yeah!).
I really need to do touchup painting. :(
I dislike washing clothes...but just like changing the toilet paper roll, it's a task that has to be done (smile!).
Scott has those new toilet papers rolls that don't have the tubes inside them. When the roll runs out it simply...runs out. Love that.
