Irritations at home to drive you crazy

Do you know what is sometimes just as nice as sneezing really hard? Bitching about life. Heeeerlijk. Today, household chores are a mess. I have been living here for four months in my new house and these are the pain points.

Everything is just not finished

That one yellowish door that we just can't paint white, that one lamp that just won't get hung up, the baseboards above that were ordered three months ago, the exploded shed still full of moving boxes, the missing curtains in the living room, grrrr &*%#@#$.

Garden cushions

With our climate, it's complete terror, it's impossible. In, out, in, out again, in again. And of course, I forget it and all the cushions go to hell.

Always and everywhere cat hair

I luf Monza. I luf Luna. But from the hair I sweep and vacuum daily, I would Rob Peetoom get a trauma.

Fruit flies

When you, as an animal lover, are creating whole Jigsaw traps for those creatures, you know the shit is on. I even dreamed that my whole house was filled with those nasty little bugs. So much that I couldn't even walk to the kitchen. They flew around with whole bananas in the room. Brrr.

Hair in the shower drain

Suddenly you understand how disgusting it is. Especially when you have guests. I also wonder daily how it is even possible that I still have hair on my head.

One roll on a toilet roll

Very. Annoying.

Well, the white cast floor

From a stylish point of view still very vtwonen magazine-worthy, but mopping every other day is not really fun, trust me.

The gas stove

Another terribly thankless task. Maybe I'm just really a mess behind the stove, but every freaking evening we have to wipe it down again. Pffff.

Yep, I've figured it out: there is nothing as thankless as household chores. Are there really people who enjoy this? HOW THEN? Can I take lessons from you?
