I'd like to get out more, but I feel guilty. There is so much to do here. I should get the dishes washed/put away. There's laundry. The bird cages need to be cleaned. I should dust, sweep.

This is a big house, lots of chores. And not to mention the yard. Even before this move came up, I was always behind and it was a struggle keeping it liveable.


If I waste energy going out, I need to rest later. And all this stuff is going to pile up even more.

I'm beat and I haven't even started today. It's noon and I'm not dressed or showered yet.
