A bit of weed and or music/podcasts the cleaning won't feel as much of a tedious job tbh. I don't even need the weed anymore, I just clean with a podcast going now.
By DY_nasty Go To PostOne side of my family loved turning early Saturday mornings into complete homestead renovation projects and I'm traumatized til this day
Sounds like a nightmare
By Patriotism Go To PostSounds like a nightmaredy is also not alone in this. that is something my mom loves to do. i never even got a chance to finish watching all my saturday morning cartoons as a kid. it was going to dust the whole house, mop, sweep, mow the lawn, pick up the clippings, clean the carport, wash the cars and lawnmower, catch up on laundry, etc.
Am I alone in having never heard of a carport until just now?
Don't think I've ever seen one over here, wonder if it's just because our driveways tend to be in front of houses where it looks like a fixed carport goes at the side

By domino Go To Posti think carports are kind of a southern/rural thing
Being on the east coast for almost 3 years
I…think you may be right.

Then come back inside and help everyone else turn the house inside out. Not just vacuum but legit hardwood maintenance and all wall fixtures removed shit.
If I was *really* fast and weather permitted - I'd get enjoy setting up the burn pit. And ofc the next day was church so I'm up at 600.
I didn't dislike that side of my family yet, but even as a kid I knew that was fucking ridiculous. Imagine my fucking surprise when I joined the military and it was more chill. Even today I keep my place a mess because the chaos relaxes me.
I like a little light mess. Like a “company is coming over in 30 mins lemme clean up real quick” thing
I was my families landscaper from about 9 years on, I thought it was normal, even my grandparents would have me do all kinds of handyman work as a kid when I went over there. I'm not gonna lie, I see my nephews not doing anything and hate, like I was painting my grandparents fence in the middle of July, meanwhile these dudes have never pushed a lawnmower.

I was remodeling our deck, laying down whole ass log barriers against our driveway, and treating the playset in middle school. My brother never been in a home depot for anything more than a phone charger 🤣 he been sleeping in his whole life
"You're family - why can't you relate more?" Be real lmao
Did yall wear clothes/shoes until they got ripped up? Now that I have disposable income I buy more clothes than just what I needed ( since that was how I was raised) but I can't bring myself to get rid of anything because I grew up wearing stuff until it was literally unwearable.
I don't get how people don't take afternoon naps.
Even a quick power nap gets me recharged until bed time.

By Kabro Go To PostI don't get how people don't take afternoon naps.It takes me hours to fall asleep due to anxiety

I can only sleep or not sleep. I can't nap.
By Kabro Go To PostI don't get how people don't take afternoon naps.its actually natural - its part of our circadian rythmn.

By Kibner Go To PostI crashed after work today. My pup joined me for a nap.That's one of the things I miss about pets 😢
By Dazenheimer Go To Postits actually natural - its part of our circadian rythmn.
I knew I got it wrong. I follow a cicadian rhythm of taking a nap every 13 or 17 years

Now that I work from home I try to lay down for 30 min of my 1 hour lunch break. Rarely fall asleep though. Back when I was an office boi, I'd fall asleep in my car for damn near the entire break. Guess the office stress made me want to lose consciousness immediately.
By Pac-2 Go To PostSo last Tuesday really did lead to a breaking point, but really in the nick of time. Had I continued on the path, I don't know where I would be right now. It can go to shit real quickly.
As it was, I had to have my mother come up on Wednesday. While she was on the way, I was trying to get on Behavioral Health's radar, but there's no opening until June(!) (which I took), but I was told of a Behavioral Health ER, which is where we went after work.
Several hours later, I was seen and went through my recent life story and put on two new medications to go with my original.
Fast forward through a couple of a absolutely shitty days, I'm spending this week back at the beach decompressing from stress and anxiety and right now I'm out walking, practicing gratitude, manifesting abundance, that sort of thing.
TIL that sitting in a waiting room for four hours and talking to a psychiatrist for 15 minutes costs $3500.
saw a guy blow both quads today at a competition in front of his wife and kids on a 700 lb squat
that was something

just to give horse an opportunity to post the picture:
this is a 2.5 day this week with a 4.5 day weekend. Big up Jesus for all your hard work so we get off on Wednesday noon. 🙏

Just to remind me that I’m firmly in my thirties, i fucked my back up doing some garden work this morning. Sciatica pain since 10am. Just throw me on scrap heap, bros. I’m done.

Mowing the lawn as a child is a huge reason n I hate mowing my lawn to this day. Maybe hate is too strong a word. I don’t smoke pot unless it’s a weekend evening now, but I will occasionally hit the vape and mow the lawn on an early Saturday morn. The smell of cut grass, sun low in the morning sky. Fairly cathartic on those occasions.
Pulling weeds though, that I truly hate. Fuck puking weeds
