The Friday Five for 26 September 2025: House Work

Answers to today’s questions at thefridayfive @ Dreamwidth

1. Do you consider yourself to be a good housekeeper? Why or why not?

I think I’m adequate now. I used to be worse. Even a lot of messiness didn’t bother me. As long as it wasn’t filthy it was ok. But these days I don’t like messiness.

2. Are there any household chores that you enjoy doing? If so, what and why?

Does anyone enjoy chores??? They’re just a necessary evil.

3. Which household chore frustrates/angers you the most?

Dusting is so bloody frustrating! I hate it because as soon as you’ve done it there’s a new layer of dust or you notice you missed a spot when light hits it just right.

I’ve always also loathed vacuuming – it’s so boring! And ever since my migraine went chronic, for some reason, the physical movement of vacuuming triggers a migraine attack unless I pause a lot. I won a Roomba about 4 years ago, and it’s been wonderful!

4. When doing household chores, what do you do to make them seem less of a “chore”?

When dusting or doing doing dishes by hand or basically anything where I can hear it, I listen to my music.

5. Which chore do you find yourself doing most often, and why?

I guess kitchen and bathroom. I like them to be clean, particularly the bathroom now that it was fully renovated last year so it’s actually fun to keep it clean.
