I just came in to check on Mylot between my household tasks. I needed a very short break to get my back a rest. Cleaning is not as much fun as blogging. Especially with getting older it is getting harder to do physical work.
I am only taking a 15 minutes break, otherwise I will never finish my housework. I was also in need of a good drink of cold water to cool off.

I expect you were mopping or vacuuming the floor, that always affects my back and taking a break even for 15 minutes is better than nothing at all. Sitting too long at the computer isn't such a good idea anyway. Perhaps blogging here is the best hobby for a housewife and it gives us the chance to sit down or stand up.

@AbbyGreenhill I had to do some iron too when growing up. I didn't mind then but now I do.

I spend too much time getting lost on the computer and need to allow myself only a certain amount of time. I hate to tear myself away just to do housework but I do hate an untidy house.

Housework for thirty, then something less strenuous for fifteen. Good plan. Works the same for sitting thirty, exercising for fifteen.

@marlina Certainly true, and when retired, we have to look for ways to get up and move.

I do the computer hit and miss as well. I have so many other things I need to take care of. I just boxed up a work laptop for hubby as he needs to send it back.

I take breaks in between cleaning also as my asthma acts up when I do too much at once. It's always good to take breaks though instead of doing it all at once. It'll still be there later.
