I hate housework

Post Reply New Topic

I'll get completely overwhelmed if I stare at a messy room, but I can deal with it fairly happily if my girlfriend breaks things down into manageable tasks and writes me a list. If my brain's completely screwy the items on the list have to be very small endeavours. It's weird, because l should be able to pick out all the things that need to be done without having a list, but I can't.

o____O I love housework. It's simple, and best of all it makes things nice and neat and shiny and clean, which is how I like them best. I just spent an hour sorting out my room and bathroom (I have a disabled room in student halls, so it's huge and takes a lot of time). It's quite a good work out! XD

Mess, and to a lesser extent dirt, make me feel sick. I think I picked it up off my mum, although it wasn't a problem until I moved away from home. Maybe it's because now I have a room where there's enough floor space to turn around, and the light doesn't take five minutes to warm up enough to light five centimetres around it, if things are messy I can see it.

I hate housework for the following reasons....

It is completely overwhealmng because we are packrats and I am the only one who really even does the housework..

I am so scatterbrained that I end up just going and going in circles

Since we are packrats and so comp-letely inundated with largely unneccesary objects, i spend way more time than necc. focusing on these things that have no value to me whatsoever..but for some reason I cannot get rid of them.....may of these things belong to other people..(ex-roommates)..and then TONS of stuff belonging to boyfriend that I cannot get rid of...just because....

We recently moved, and most housework seems to invlove these boxes and boxes of things...my mind WANTS to organize them....but since I am utterly incapable of thinking linearly and acting linearly so it does not happen.....Lately housework seems to be literally making big messes in an attempt to put things back in a more organised fashion....but it is sorta somewhat backfiring on me it seems...because though I have been spending hours and hours on housework the place looks completel ripped apart.

I have always loathed the dishes...I do not have sensory issues that I can think of regarding them..but every time I try to focus on them the entire essense of my being is completely repelled by it...I can wash two or three before I am overwhealmed by my impulses to do other things...

i am an artist/musician...not a robot maid....

the more housework I do..the less creative stuff I do...and when I am in housework mode...which is most of the time...i spend more time escaping with non-creative things like watching television....
