One of my pet peeves is doing housework.
I know it sounds lazy and spoilt, but it’s something you get quite used to when living in Gulf countries. House help, whether full or part time, is available readily and easily, and doesn’t involve breaking the bank.
I honestly don't know anyone there who does all their housework themselves.
Cooking, a bit of cleaning, picking up things, sure, but not full on, top to bottom, cleaning the entire house, kind of work.
And when I do have to do it, it leaves me feeling vaguely irritated and annoyed for the rest of the day afterwards. Now that I’m back in Ottawa, I’m finding it particularly hard to break out of my previous luxury filled habits. Not that I have significantly better habits when I’m here, but you know what I mean.
Then again, maybe I just need to remain positive about the whole thing, and hope that one day, I’ll be one of those people who like doing housework. Or more realistically, at least be able to do it without getting into a foul mood.
After all, if a 107 year old woman can set her sights on getting married for a 23rd time (see post below) and start over again, why can’t I just learn to clean a bathroom without getting ticked off?
Which reminds me, I have a suitcase to unpack.
More later, take care, and keep reading!
