Housecleaning27.Oct.2002My idea of housework is
to sweep the room with a glance. Do I do it is a better question. At least lately. Oh ok, for quite some time now actually. Somehow it hasn't ranked up there with, say, taking a nap. Or sitting and staring off into space, which is totally under-rated as far as I'm concerned. Zoning out is the power-nap of the lazy. Except of course that I never quite feel that energy rush you're supposed to get afterwards. You are supposed to get one, aren't you? I've heard that you get a burst of energy and it will take you through the rest of your day. It's probably all hype as usual. The only 'burst' I get is when I've indulged in too much white chocolate and a hook on my bra reaches maximum overload. Trust me, it's not the kind of burst you look forward to having. But back to enjoying housework. I'm pretty sure that the words 'enjoy' and 'housework' don't even belong in the same sentence. It would be better to say that I enjoy the results of housework. Not the doing of the housework itself. I have a friend who once made a public statement that she cleans her house to relax. To do what? She was lucky the group of women she was talking to only gasped. I very nearly knocked her to the ground and sat on her while shouting incoherent things like, 'stop making me feel inadequate!' and then begging her to come over to my house for some 'relaxation'. To be fair, the pamphlet was trying to drum up business for people that come to your home to clean, it wasn't trying to annoy me. It just did. I want to know who in their right mind would pick that for a profession? I mean, who wakes up one day and thinks, hmm, I think cleaning other peoples toilets would be the job for me. I can't get enough toilet cleaning at my own house, I need to branch out. I admire people who can do that for a living, then come home and do it all again for free. I really do. I also wonder how they keep their sanity. Maybe they're getting that 'burst' of energy from power napping. The kind you get without the white chocolate consumption. |
