As you may recall, I have help in housekeeping via the Australian Aged Care Home Package.
My home cleaning schedule ensures most things are cleaned and you would think that I have it made. But there's always more things to do to run our house.
Not included is
- Maintenance in between weekly cleans
- Pet care and feeding our cat Xena
- Washing and folding and occasional ironing
- Menu planning
- Grocery shopping online
- Cooking
- Kitchen cleaning and dishes
- Gathering rubbish for bin collection
- Budgeting and bill paying
- Scheduling doctors visits
- Updating prescriptions and filling pill containers for the week
- Organising social events occasionally
I am very grateful for the help I get but used to feel guilty that I needed it. This is false guilt and I have since gotten over it.
Likewise, I have gotten over the feeling that I was lazy, but of course, when I consider how much I actually do, I realise I am far from it. As well as my hobbies and blogging, there's plenty that I do .
