I know maintenance is something that everyone on earth has to deal with and it's probably mildly frustrating for us all.

But some days I just feel like life is nothing but a hamster wheel of trying to "stay on top of things" - mowing the lawn, weeding and watering the garden, sweeping and vacuuming, showering myself, washing my hair, shaving my body, putting away laundry, doing the dishes, cleaning out the fridge...etc. And the main problem is that once I get "on top of" one thing, I turn around and it's like starting from square one on another thing.

I remember to wash my hair one day and realize I haven't shaved my legs in weeks. I get the laundry folded and put away and keep the kitchen clean every day for a week but realize the fridge is reeking. While I've been diligently maintaining my garden, our bedroom has piled up with clothes that need to be put away. Killing it at work = house falls apart.

I have gotten better at coping with everything (mainly, I use daily to-do lists and have lately started using timers to get through everything) but some days I just feel like crying because it truly will never be "done" and I will never get a break till I die.
