I just forced myself to do housework. I moved back to Taichung and lived with my mom. There were a lot of reasons. But the current situation is that I stay home to work as a freelancer while my mother still goes to her office for working.

Since I am home all day long, I wake up in the morning, cook the breakfast, eat with my mom, and after she leaves for work, I’ll wash the dishes. I do translation work while washing clothes, washing underwear by hands, vacuuming the floors, dumping trashes, and buying grocery.

My friend asked why. Well, if I don’t do, my mother might not do, or she will put it aside for few days. Since I am the one who can’t stand any mess, I am the one to do all the housework. Fortunately, if I stay home, all the grocery stuff will be paid by my mom. So, I guess it is still okay.

The “Wendy’s 642 Things to Write About “ project is a self writing plan based on 642 Things to Write About by the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto.
