I feel this.
Me: I'm overwhelmed, but I try to focus on the important things.
Therapist: That's a really healthy way of looking at it.
Me: Like I spend quality time with my kids every day and make sure they always have healthy meals to eat, so who cares if I haven't mopped in a month?
Therapist: (visibly astonished and a little disgusted that I haven't mopped in a month)
Me: (not telling her it's actually been three months)
Don't feel bad. I don't even own a mop. Just a broom and a vacuum that gets used less than you mop.
That certainly makes me feel better about not having mopped in six months.
It's used for spiders (which are large enough for my self-induced LSD arachnophobia therapy to not work for), and when someone visits.
...I don't even own a mop lol
Who mops these days?
I love my steam mop. The machine does most of the work for me and the floor comes out really clean in a few minutes without any scrubbing or bending over and wringing or horrible chemical smells.
In this economy!?
