I Feel Overwhelmed

I am single, running my own home and I never seem to be done. Every single weekend , i have a list of chores to get done. And of course, I never get done. One chore begets another so I decided to take a week off and try to get ahead of the game.

Do you ever feel that way?

A royal pain ..... but compare it to issues with apartment living: the lack of personal outdoor space, the lack of choices on everything from kitchen appliances to wall colors. If you live in a house and don't like your neighbors you can build a high fence. No such option with an apartment.

This sounds like a good time to do something nice for yourself and ignore what's not right. If it's a leaky faucet just shut off the feed line to that faucet. Stove broke? Call in Pizza or pick up Chinese.

Join the club. A heavy mug fell from a top cabinet and cracked the ceramic cooktop on the range :( After buying a new ceramic top and disassembling the stove I discovered the damage beneath and a need now for a new burner :( The cost of the new burner atop the cost already paid for the new ceramic top suddenly makes it a bad decision to have tried to fix it at all. I should have just junked the whole range and purchased a new one. In the good news department, my failed DIY attempt was still less costly than it would have been had I called a repairman who probably also would have delivered sequential bad news. In the meantime, the deli at the local supermarket is wonderful and now I can put off thinking about the stove for a week,
