I mean, I didn’t load the chronic illness in there, that would be awesome! But I loaded dishes into the washer despite having said illness.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome, which basically means that I’m exhausted all the time. Or if I am not yet exhausted, even light work (like loading the dishwasher) can knock me down pretty hard. If I overdo it I experience flu-like symptoms the next day (for a few days).

So, doing some household chores is actually a pretty big deal for me.

Also, pro tip: Wash your water bottles before discovering mold in the cap.

    Way to go! Knocking out the dishes may seem like small potatoes but it’s worth taking a second to celebrate. Glad to hear you were able to step up and face those dishes head on! 🎉

    Good tip: water bottles can get extra nasty. For me it’s all about scrubbing the plastic straws. I have a little brush for it and everything lol

    You did it! Great success, congratulations! I hope you find the energy to do something else today, but if not, you already did a big task. Be proud of yourself.
