LAZY REX

Earlier today my partner and I were talking about how scattered and lazy I am with chores and I had to agree even though I hated to admit it. I'm the kind of person that can come home from work and out of tiredness throw my shoes and clothes to the nearest possible place. But then again I'm the type of person that could wake up one morning (especially when I'm in the right frame of mind) and turn the house upside down cleaning every single piece of dirt. I did it more often when I was younger and still under the care of my parents, I guess it was because there were very few things I was thinking about then. I also think it's because I like working more with my mind than with my body. I would first turn the house upside down in my mind, rearrange every part before physically doing it. I don't just have a picture of the end result in my mind, I would literally visualize the entire process.

The more I grew the less I had time to do these things, and at this stage, I sometimes forget that I need to do my laundry because I'm busy thinking about the next job to do. The only parts of my laundry that are always intact are the vital ones, otherwise I might discover that I no longer have clothes to wear for work the next day. I'm grateful that I have a partner who would always ask me what I'm wearing for work the next day and she comes around and helps with the laundry. Before we got together I would usually forget to take my clothes to the dry cleaner and was always having to make out time to hand wash a hip of clothes or buy new clothes when I discover I'm running out of clothes. So when you think about it, I'm lazy with house chores, but very organized with everything else. House chores are often the last thing on my mind, so much that I could forget to sweep the house after waking up because the first thing I do when up on my PC after praying.

Although I try to not make the chores difficult when I see my partner helping me do them. I always feel it's not something that is compulsory to do for me and doing it deserves compensation of some sort. For example, I had a very rough day today, I was supposed to have taken my clothes to the dry cleaner since last Friday, but somehow I keep forgetting. I came back from work only to discover she had already done that, and took care of the one I was supposed to wear tomorrow. I was so touched by the gesture that I thought it best to eat out. Now as much as she does all these things for me and I appreciate it, I would have preferred if she focused on other things while a robot does the job for both of us. First of all the only time I will be spending is when I buy the robot and probably for maintenance otherwise, I would not need to feel like rewarding anyone for helping out.

I like a clean home, in fact I love a clean home. I could leave my house to sleep somewhere else if I see my house in a mess. I usually don't like going to the kitchen because my sister's baking stuff is always left hanging. And to be sincere I hate doing the dishes. This is why I would want to have a robot do the chores to help her too knowing her job can be demanding. But then I think a robot will save me the emotional payment that would have to be made. No need to say thank you, no one would get angry because I didn't notice something was done. I will be free of those kinds of things 😂. But overall, I will be able to focus on more productive things.
