Stop That Clock

Can anyone stop that clock here? It is going too fast for me. I just came back from walking for 36 minutes and set the clock for a break here for 30 minutes. There is only 5 minutes left and it is going to ring and make me get off that comfortable office chair. Then it means that I have to vacuum the kitchen floor and Swiffer it. Life is cruel, forcing me to do some housework which I hate to do. I would much rather stay here for a while longer, but I must go. I'll be back like Arnold!

I also have to quit in a few minutes and go down in the kitchen and prepare the food for the Epiphany dinner, then, finally, all the festivities are over.

I think I would do the housework first and use Mylotting as my reward. Then I am all done with the must dos and can concentrate on here.

@marlina ...I used to do the same thing. But I liked to try to get as much of the awful stuff done right away as I could.

I do some housework and then come here for a short rest and then go back.

Chores just never go away no matter how much we try to get rid of them. Lol

I guess that the only way that chores will go away is to hire a maid.

I wish that housework would go away, of course having a cleaning lady would do it.

It would be good if we could stop the clock for a while.

when you had heavy work or busy with work you feel to stop that clock.

@marlina I do not claim to be wise, my dear. Its just what was dinned into me by my parents. At times, its very hard to stick by it. But I try.

It happens to me quite a lot of times...All we can do is to respect the clock and just enjoy the work.Maybe you can turn the music on and just enjoy the moment.

I just finished my laundry and put it away. I already cleaned the house, but now am getting off to start a new book and munch on a big bowl of popcorn, if I have the strength to make it. See ya!
