Bits, and moving onward.

.

Ducks in, a load of laundry turned over and a fresh one put in.  One more load of those, whites... after three small loads before, regular, synthetics, and woolens as the last load now washing.  The girls were fed, not sure I hit their litter yet, but will shortly if not.  A breakfast of kefir.  Some slight toodling here and there, if very slight.  Still, a small thing opens up bigger things later.  It adds up, if you can keep going.

I try to work strategically.  Have to do so.  If I can't do dishes, open up the area, take a shower, or a few other things, I look for the bottleneck.  I hit that.  It might or might not lead directly to a bigger chore, but it might lead to hitting the next bottleneck.  Bottlenecks aren't the whole problem, but if dealt with, life is smoother when I can work.  Terrifying, to have so many bottlenecks.  What to most is just a little thing, for me can be a work stoppage.

Without, always, focus, memory, concentration, a bottleneck will fully stop everything... or a few of them will.  Like a plug in a sink, a stoppage might well cause an overflow.  Some number of overflows become overwhelming.  And it can happen very quickly.  Whether it is fear, fog, poverty, or else, I get hit hard, and often.  To be honest, having a woman helps.  What I can't do, she can.  As well, what she can't do, I can... and easily.  Move the dresser?  Okay.  But... figure out workflow?  Not so much.  And, what neither of us can do alone, sometimes we can cooperate.

Of course, that is when you can get hitched to the same load, and agree to pull at the same time in the same direction.  Hell of a thing to accomplish, but amazing when it works.  Yea, a woman... a good one... a patient one... could get a heck of a lot of work out of me.  Not a full time thing.  But, a good twenty hours of solid a week.  Not on her schedule, patience would absolutely be required.  But, yea.  And, twenty hours, if the household is the whole of it, it quite a lot.

Anyway...  I'll get a shower before long.  Then start dishes.  Cleaning the counters, resetting trash by bagging, pulling the barrel back, litter, and some minor clearing of spaces while taking down boxes.  Ugh.  It's a new week.  I'll get to things.  Later.
