Honey-Do

There is one major problem with working from home – you can never get away from that honey-do-list. It just sits there on the kitchen counter getting longer and longer with each passing day – an ever present reminder that at some point in your life (or more accurately, at some point this week) you're going to have to stop being that wannabe author and become that wanna-not-be carpet-scrubbing, weed-picking, window-washing master of home repair and homemaking. Yeah, there is just nothing pleasant about that honey-do-list. In fact, I would go so far as to say, the honey-do-list is to list writing, what proctology is to medical science – a pain in the butt.

But, as with any part of civilized society, the honey-do-list is critical to our survival. And so today, despite the mountain of proofreading stacked beside my computer, I set out to:

1. Do the laundry
2. Wash the windows
3. Shampoo the living room upholstery
4. Scrub the kitchen
5. Mow the lawn

And so forth...
