Just one more thing about housework ...

Lately, it would seem that I have been focusing a little … or a lot … on my dislike of housework … and my preference for doing pretty well anything else.

Yesterday I proved once and for all … beyond any doubt … reasonable or unreasonable … that housework is very, very bad for your health.

At some point … during the vacuuming … or the scrubbing of toilets … or the dusting … or the laundry … I managed to tweak, pull, stretch or pulverise a muscle in my neck and/or shoulder.  It has left me with the unfortunate restriction of being able to look neither left nor right … and only straight ahead in complete and utter discomfort.

I spent the entire afternoon bemoaning my painful predicament to all and sundry.

All and sundry studiously ignored me.

So I knew I was on my own … dire predicaments call for dire measures … it was time to self medicate.

I hunted through the medicine stash for something super strength and came upon some tablets from several years ago when I had suffered a similar affliction.  I knew they were good ones … cause they were ones that have to be handed out by a pharmacist.  They were a year or so out of date … but you know what I said about dire situations … and I popped a couple of those beauties.

They may have been painkillers … they may have been horse tranquillisers … either way I slept the sleep of the comatose … and knew nothing more until 9:30 this morning.

In summary … housework is clearly the work of the devil … and really, truly should be avoided at all costs … for the sake of your health people … heed the warning.

  1. So very very true. Housework is dangerous and I prefer not to risk getting injured so I abstain, avoid, ignore!! Hope you feel better soon, just get comfy on the couch and watch some seriously annoying chic flic, request things from your lads like drinks and the occasional fluffing of your pillows, you are not well remember. Struck down by the bastard housework!!

    2. I am pretty certain that I can trace almost all of my ailments to
      housework. As they say, "A clean house is the sign of a wasted life!" Feel better soon : )
