Or I’ll put it on then a few minutes later will need to wash my hands. Repeat.


Yes, me too PP.

What works for me is I apply a quick-dissolving, light hand lotion 🧴 on a few times a day, then at night I apply a generous amount of a heavier one on at night prior to going to bed.

It is the best
I can do.

Peeling SUCKS.


I was given one of those Egg Pods to cook hard boiled eggs in microwave. One of the best gifts I ever received. Eggs peel like tangerines.

+100 Yes! I have no problems starting the load of laundry. It's the folding and putting them away I absolutely dread doing.

Is there any water out there, or do you have to carry it outside?

Putting away laundry (I usually leave it in the laundry basket and paw through it like an animal), taking out the trash and replacing with a new liner.

I don't mind folding clothes but the part that I hate is putting them away.

I always seem to end up with a folded pile in the chair in my room for days.

+1 to washing my face, but I hate doing it at night before bed. I am always so tired!

I actually like flossing but I would get puffy/sensitive gums if I didn’t do it at least every other day. Mouthwash doesn’t do it for me. If I floss regularly I have happy teeth and gums!

Brushing teeth, unloading the dishwasher, and drying off after a shower


Yes on the drying off after the shower!!! Half the reason I take long showers!

Putting away laundry for sure. And putting on moisturizer. I know that I should but it just feels like such a chore, especially at night.

Really anything that qualifies as “maintenance.” Updating budgets at work, filling in time sheets, scheduling drs appts. I make myself do it but it’s a struggle.

And definitely the houseplants! Luckily DH has taken that over for me since it’s become clear I will buy lots of pretty plants then just DGAF.
