So, for most of my life ‘Saturday’ has meant ‘chores’. Overall that is no big deal, most of the time I find them rather enjoyable and kind of relaxing. In particular I enjoy doing laundry, vacuuming and 90% of the time I’d prefer to do my dishes by hand rather than use the machine. Of course all the elements of bathroom cleaning are merely a neutral sort of necessary evil.
However I have a real problem with dusting and I despise making my bed. Part of the bed thing is the actual act, but mostly it’s the fact that I hate sleeping in a tidy bed. I much prefer the balled up blanket, half-tucked sheet, and scattered pillows nesting sort of sleeping style. The trade-off is, I like the looks of a made up bed. Quel problème. So making the bed is a nuisance I have to undo and redo on an (almost) daily basis.
In other news, I’m teaching myself how to eat with chopsticks with my left hand because (1) I’m eating more stir-fry type meals lately (2) I prefer eating some things with chopsticks (3) I like eating at my desk while I read/surf the Web (4) I don’t like switching my right hand from rollerball to chopsticks to rollerball.
So there you have it.

Wouldn’t it be easier to learn to surf with your left hand?

Probably. But sometimes you just feel like not doing the easy thing.

There are times I love being left-handed. I have the convenience of using the mouse with my right hand (as I was taught) and scribbling, writing, dialing etc… with my left hand.
You stumbled onto my secret!
