Current mood:

tired

Damn.
You know, being a housewife is really fucking exhausting. I mean, not that I ever expected that it wouldn't be. But I've spent the past week doing such things as baking, cooking, and cleaning for eight to ten hours a day on my days off (instead of writing). I am so tired all the time. And a little dehydrated, I think. Since I'm not sitting at my desk with a glass of water in front of me, I'm having a hard time remembering to drink.

	I can't talk as I'm a bugger for not drinking enough water when I'm at home (although I do swig Diet Coke by the pint), but perhaps a bottle of water left out somewhere where you're likely to waltz by in between doing something? That might help with the tiredness too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes! I know what you mean, exactly. And the most demoralising part of the whole thing is that there's always more to be done. I don't even want to think about the pile of ironing that's built up while I've been convalescing (and idle, to be honest.) I hope this break triggers some wonderful creativity for you next year!

	"there's always more to be done" Yep, that's why I have developed this totally lax attitude to housework, heh. I don't so much mind the activity of cleaning, but only when there's a line drawn around a particular task. I think it's easier to clean someone else's house than your own, because then you don't have this neverending sea of chores. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	*whisper* I haven't done any real housework (except washing up) for ages. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I figured out my Monday working-out problem was that I wasn't drinking enough water over the weekend and I was dehydrated. Now I leave glasses of water all over the house, so that I remember to drink. (Reply to this) (Thread)
