All the chores are done before midday... is, is this what it's like to be normal. I've vacuumed, mopped, put washing on, done the dishes, and I've even changed the sheets, and dusted.

Edit- Ok so maybe not normal... I am an all at once sort of person though, I like to either get everything done in one go or not bother at all.

Maybe what it's like to be fully on top of things, but I'm not sure it is normal. Normal is "oops, I left the washing in the machine again". Possibly followed by being distracted enroute to the washing machine by something else that needs to be done and not actually ending up hanging the washing.

Edit: I managed to hang the washing without being distracted. This time.

Family of asthmatics probably plays into it being normal for me.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

oh same here, but as the token non-asthmatic I stopped that shit as soon as I moved out of the family home :P

(I keed, I still dust but the joke has to be salvaged somewhere, dammit)

This is not normal. Normal, well, see comments below. On the plus side now is reelaaaax time. Maybe go out for a coffee and a nice brunch with a very clear conscience?
