Housework and possessions are really overrated…

Left home a few days ago to travel to my grandson’s nursery school graduation. The House was clean when I left but now the cycle of unpacking, cooking and cleaning begins its never end of spinning.  The grass grew therefore needing cut brings clippings onto the floors and carpets.  Poison Ivy erupts and the need for treatment with more trips of washing hands and arms dirtying more towels and creating trash to be empty.  Then there’s the daily or twice daily showers involving more towels and the need for turning on the washing machine and dryer enacting the need for folding and putting away. Then bedtime creates more dirty clothes, messed up bathroom, beds unmade to be made again and so it goes. Up again, food cooked, hands washed, trash made, bed made etc. The treadmill of life still running in this retired couples life.  I’m thinking assisted living is starting to look good.
