Freewrite Day 531 Filth
I would rather move than clean. I tell people this and they don’t believe me. But it’s true. The word “nomad” is in my profile because I am one. Cleaning is not high on my priorities.
Most of the time I try to pay people to clean for me wherever I stay. Right now I cannot afford this, so things degenerate.
I try not to live in filth. I keep clean eating and cooking areas, and I do dishes. But anything that does not effect my health can stay dirty or messy and I don’t care.
This comes up in my chronic pain groups. People mourn the fact that they can no longer clean and that their house is not spotless like they wish it was. I tell them to get a cleaning lady and they are horrified by the idea.
Who made these (mostly) women think they are the only ones who can clean? I’m always amazed. Once in a while some one breaks down and hires help and then comes back to the group filled with joy. Then 20 people chime in to say they could never do that.
I feel lucky that I have never cleaned in my life and don’t care too much. The stress of this is overwhelming for so many.
My mother was a stay at home mom and a clean freak. Even though she cleaned herself, she always had help. At minimum someone would come a couple times a month and do the “heavy” cleaning. My poor chronic pain friends think they should be able to do this.
I tell them, “You cannot open a jar without pain. Why do you think you need to vacumm and then go to bed for two days.”
Sometimes my words help. Most times they don’t.
My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

How is your journey to better health going?
Is your fitness equipment out handy? Are you on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

And I absolutely love cleaning. If my house is not clean, I will be disorganised. Lol... But I understand your situation. Cleaning with pain is not fun so better opt that out
Cleaning because you have to is not fun at all, dishes, clothing are done daily other chores are done in between.
Cleaning lady is a way to overcome this ritual, plus it is employment for another person to take some money home at the end of the day. All in all works out fine since I only require help once a week to do the work I don't enjoy Sharon.
Howdy fitinfun! It sounds like some of your friends are addicted to cleaning! I guess there are much worse things to be addicted to, most of them are worse! lol.
