And the reason I am putting a positive spin on it is becauseof a certainlife-changingincident that happened to me this week involving a bird.
Yes.
A bird.
So, thanks to this unforeseen but ultimately timely bird episode, I have now compiled a list of all the things I can improve on as a woman running my household single-handedly, and all the things that I’m already excelling in. See as follows:
What needs improvement:
Learning the days of the week for which bin collection
This sort of thing is taken very seriously, and if I miss the recycling day again, I’m going to keep getting those disapproving looks from the nice drama students who live next door.
Mopping
Okay, so who knew that mopping was such an essential chore?! I thought a quick hoover every now and then would do the job, butno.Youhaveto do a good mop on those hard surfaces. It really makes all the difference.
Emptying the dishwasher in the morning
I’ve realized that as much as it’s a pain in the arse, if you empty the dishwasher first thing, then you can put things away in it throughout the day, rather than letting them pile up in the sink. This saves you from plodding into the kitchen just before bed and grimly remembering you need to unload and then reload all in one go. A tiny thing that really impacts the winding-down-before-bed routine.
Dusting
What the fuck is wrong with me?! Why does my lifestyle produce so muchdust?! I always used to take the piss out of Matthew going around with that littleduster, but my god, he was on to something. Humans are disgusting. Where does it all come from?Where?
Cooking
Obviously. No need to expand on this one.
