Notes -
God, I hate doing chores. Ah yes, take a significant chunk out of your day just to fight entropy, and do the same thing for the 10,000th time. Why are they seen as some sort of noble act and not a necessary evil like having to sit in traffic? Something we should eliminate?
Edit: I just bought a rice cooker, food processor and airfryer. I'm declaring war on chores and daily mundane drudgery. I'm sorry mom, but I already know how to cook, clean and do the laundry, in fact, I can do those things pretty well, but that doesn't mean I will pretend to enjoy doing them every day, especially when there are better things to do. I will probably achieve most of that by slowing entropy down for the most part,I will have to optimize how things are done around the house, will report back in a month or so.
This seems relevant to the other threads about why many women seem to prefer being in the workforce and making a legible amount of money for doing somewhat tedious things with peers to staying home, deciding on what chores to do themselves, and feeling vaguely bad about the outcomes.
I ought to clean a bunch of surfaces in my house and cut back some weeds that are still there from last fall. Instead perhaps we will buy a couple of cottonwood trees and plant them, because it's way more satisfying of the trees manage to survive and grow. There's also a dead fruit tree to cut down, but I feel entitled to not do that, as the pregnant woman in the family.
