Priorities

I dislike housework.
Clean houses work for me.
It isn't my thing to do.
My house is neglected because I don't want to clean.
Dog hair and dust distract my ability to function mentally.
I clean. Just enough to let me think.

I dislike paying the bills.
Actually, I dislike opening the mail to get to the invoices that require recording, filing and/or paying.
Actually, paying bills before they are due is rewarding.
Knowing I have the income to afford this lifestyle I choose.
I just hate the paperwork that becomes my job because I pay the bills.

I dislike doing laundry for others when they can do it themselves.
I actually like seeing the wrinkles disappear while ironing.
It's helps satisfy my need for neatness.
After the machine does the cleaning.

Doing too much for others makes them weak.
If I volunteer to help
and suddenly find that particular job becomes an expectation,
it's over.

Get strong. Be responsible. Take care of yourself.
And give me plenty of space to do my thing without you.
My life depends upon it.
