Chore day, Oct 16, 2022 Back to page 50 one more time

Today’s chores were the same as last week’s chores: vacuuming the house and doing the laundry. Why do I do the same chores every week? Because the deal is that I do the laundry and vacuuming and my partner does the week’s grocery shopping. We split the chores and we’re both happy with what we have to do. She likes to shop and I like to vacuum and do laundry. In fact, I have a history of doing extreme manual labor. I worked manual labor jobs from the age of 13 to 55 and preferred it that way. I wanted work that didn’t take much thinking and left me free to focus on writing novels.
