I hate housework!

[wiseheart]

We had our monthly cleaning frenzy today. With hired help, but still, it ate the entire morning. And having help (on which Mum insists) doesn't mean that I can do anything useful at the meantime as said help is in every corner of the flat at the same time. So I went to the grocer's to put at least some of the completely wasted morning to use and bought the ingredients for a cheesecake. It is currently in the oven.

Yes, it is hot over here, too, and I'm probably insane, but baking helps me calm down. And it is a quick and easy recipe. Chopping the apricots to pieces so that Mum would be able to ate them took the longest - and we are speaking of 6 apricots only!

Therefore I haven't managed any writing today; that's for the somewhat more endurable morning hours. I was vegetating in front of the telly and did the baking parts in the ad pauses, solved half a crossword puzzle and managed to cut out two paper snowflakes for the pop-up Christmas card I'm about to give a try, but that was all the activity I managed.

Getting ingredients for the cheesecake was a good use of your time! I'm jealous, to be honest, we bought plums for a pie last Saturday already but it's been too hot to use the oven all week.

Sounds like you had a good lazy afternoon, which you well deserved after the cleaning frenzy in the morning.

Hey, I love cooking and it doesn't matter what the weather is like. We are hot and really smoky here. I've got soup on the stove. *hugs*

Housework definitely sucks.

I hate housework, especially when it is hot
