Absolutely! I'm envious of all who keep a spotless home but in my retirement, I decided my reading came first. I belong to 3 online libraries, get emails from two sites a day about free books from Amazon, and just discovered some of the series I read are available thru Hoopla when I can't find them elsewhere.

IMO, Heloise is an over-achiever....

I'm exhausted, just reading your schedule!

I love this post. I feel EXACTLY like that.

I just have zero motivation. I had a new A/C put in a few weeks ago and I worried that one of the techs would ask to use my bathroom. They were ready to leave and one guy asked. They were nice guys. I couldn't say no. But I was embarrassed.

I work 40+ hours a week and am exhausted when I get home. I have no energy to do any household chores, except I try to clean my kitchen each night.

On the weekends, especially in the hot summer, I don't feel like it, I'm wiped out. I do exercise, take a walk early in the morning on weekends, but when I come home, the thought of vacuuming or doing an extensive cleaning just turns me off.

I live alone, I see my mess, no one else does. I guess we shouldn't feel guilty. Some days it's a feat if I can get to bed before I land on the couch without washing my face or brushing my teeth.

What I'd do for some hearty motivation.

That used to describe me to a T but I recently got a twice weekly housecleaning service -- lol. Love it.

The first part was quoting another poster's post. My comment was that, "IMO, Heloise was an over achiever"...

You're my kind of girl...LOL! I have a housekeeper, too and she does such a great job.
