What Pisses Me Off: Housework

This weekend I have done a bit of everything: cleaning, ironing, vacuuming, mopping floors, dusting, washing, ironing, cooking and I can honestly say every single aspect of housework pisses me off. It doesn’t end, and it is totally unappreciated. I was hoping that at least one of my personalities would enjoy some form of cleaning, but no, we all hate it!

I like my clothes clean, but I hate washing; I like my clothes ironed, but I hate ironing. I feel that the ironing pile is mocking me, so I bought myself a new iron, just so it knew I had intentions of getting to the bottom of it, but I think we both knew that was never going to happen. I often wonder what piece of clothing is at the bottom of the pile, something from the 70s perhaps?

Grocery shopping pisses me off – the entire process of picking food out, emptying the trolley at the checkout, repacking it after paying a ridiculous amount, and then loading and unloading the car. Of course when I arrive home I then have to unpack the groceries and go through the process of putting away, which is even more tedious. Don’t get me wrong, I like food, I enjoy eating food but having to shop then prepare it, then cook it, then sit down and eat – it is all too much drama and it tends to piss me off, and I can’t cook to save myself. I start off O.K. however I lose interest very quickly. I start off with butter chicken but it eventually turns into baked beans on toast. The only recipe I like making is sausages because it’s virtually impossible to ruin them, unless you burn them.

I also got the mowing done today, well, I supervised. Well, what I really did was go outside in the heat and give the gardener a cold drink and pay him for this work. Therefore, I am claiming the credit for how nice the yard looks at the moment, but in saying that, the grass is dead and well, that just pisses me off.

I am sitting in the cool breeze inside the garage. The floor is really pissing me off – I need to sweep it, but I really don’t want to get up, but I have to now that I have acknowledged it, otherwise it will bug the hell out of me.

It has been extremely hot today and the heat pisses me off; I have been sweating like a pig all day. In saying that, I quite like pigs…they don’t piss me off at all!

With summer very much on the horizon, I decided to wax my bikini line myself. I found some stuff that had to be rubbed into the area first, I did that but nothing happened, so I then applied the wax and holy mother of God; it was like I was on fire. I jumped in the shower to try and get some relief, I panicked when everything started going foggy. I thought I was having another stroke, but then I realised I still had my glasses on. I was saying Hail Marys in 3 different languages! I did not tell anybody, I just kept applying paw paw ointment all afternoon and suffered in silence. I just gave Mum her dinner tray and she said, “All afternoon you have been walking funny, you look like John Wayne going into a gunfight, stop doing that, it’s really pissing me off”. Cheers Mum.
