Dreadful Chore Challenge. Come on, join us!

I don't like pricing the stuff & I dislike sitting in the yard while people pick through my stuff. That's why I just gave it to the charity thrift shop. I was able to bag up and "rehome" a carload of clothes and shoes. My laundry room looks soooo much better.

Today's dreaded chore: Business prospecting. Nothing makes me feel more like a goon than phoning people up and asking for their business. If my career was strictly sales, I wouldn't make a dime!

Yesterday, I cleaned my home office for the first time in... uhm... Okay, it had been YEARS. Today I am officially off work.

Okay, gang, the weekend is almost over. How 'bout a challenge for the coming week?

Besides my usual business-person activities, I want to create a meal plan for the coming week, so that I am not so scattered at dinner time. What dreadful chore will you tackle?

Fold the dang socks - I hate the socks they sit in a basket and we pick through them - complex left from having to fold the socks for a family of 8 as a child.
Clean out the tub drain - ewwwwwwwwwwww so disgusting.
start moving my wood pile and bringing in winter wood to the wood room in the basement.
Clean the coop and run - UGH
and then just the general cleaning/ laundry

Ok been reading this thread on and off since it started. You guys encouraged me to do a couple of dreaded chores so far.


I called up the student loan peeps and deferred my payments, it was 156 days behind

I kept thinking I would find a job and could pay them...

I made an appointment for tomorrow to go in and find out if I can finish my degree. I am dreading this more than calling the loan people. I should be almost done but last year had a lot of things happen in the family and did not ever turn in a final "work study". It is not so much the embarressment of not doing the final work, but being yelled at or made to feel two feet tall that I dread. I have a good friend though that told me if I did not go talk to them she would pretend she was me and call them up and make an appointment.

Once I survive that I will start working on household dreaded chores!

Do some more priming on outside of the new 12x14' coop. At least it is 10 degrees cooler and a lot lower humidity than it was before the storms came through yesterday.

Got 5 dozen more ears of sweet corn to husk, blanch, cut off the cob and freeze ~ already froze a bunch last week.

Went to TSC and picked up chicken feed, wood shavings and dog food this AM.
