There are always dishes and laundry

I need to go do some dishes. There are sheets that need to be dried as well. I am going to chop some apples to put into the cole slaw mix to go with our ribs. Hubby is napping. I do not know if he would enjoy apples in slaw or not. I do, though. There are some Lowe's gift cards loaded to the app on my phone that I need to spend. I think I will get ceiling fans for the two front rooms. The living room has decided it no longer wants to turn off the lights. The dining room light has not worked well for a while so matching lights will go on order. That is probably the most exciting thing in my life right now.

Any excitement is good. I wish I could train the dishes and laundry to clean themselves. You Hubby can always pick out the apples if he does not want them. Those sound like good picks from Lowes!

@much2say Actually mindless chores like folding laundry are supposed to be good for mental health, I have heard.

There is a fortune waiting for the person who invents self folding laundry.

I need to do dishes, but until the maintenance man changes the fluorescent lighting in my windowless kitchen, I can’t see to do them. The last time this happened, after three months with no light, my dad took pity, bought bulbs himself, and installed them for me. I kept reminding the office, and they kept saying they “forgot” who put in the work order.

I've never had apples in slaw. Not sure if I'd like it.

@kareng I read recently that adding the ACV to any apple dish intensifies the flavor.

Washing dishes is a never ending story, three times a day.

@GardenGerty No snacks for us during the day, but often glasses because we drink water.

so true always work to be done around the house for sure. I wish there was some fairy that could come and do this stuff while I sleep!

@RubyHawk It could be. I could see myself just snacking if I lived alone, so I would not have dishes to wash.

Two ceiling fans would be a nice thing to get with your Lowe's gift cards.

I hope they come as soon as they say, as I want to have some other work done as well as having them installed.

I can imagine being pleased to update the lights. We will probably get a fan in our bedroom for the summer.

After some other work gets done we will get fans for the bedrooms. There is one in the office bedroom now, but I will buy matching when I spend again.
