It's challenge time!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Circuit training, sauna, breakfast. Then laundry and cooking.

Then nap!

That sounds like a lot! Congrats, and I hope it was a good nap.

It was an excellent nap. :)

I hate doing laundry for some reason, it's something I usually leave to my wife now I can, but they had a medical appointment today, and I had time and knew we needed to wash the towels today, so... I got them in the machine! And I don't mind towels too much, so I should be able to hang them up to dry, too.

(NB: Because this is the internet and saying you leave your wife to do chores has a certain flavour, I feel the need to clarify that neither of us is a dude and I do plenty of other chores, the majority even. Just laundry and cooking are nopes for me on some weird neurospicy level.)

It is so helpful when you have complementary preferences in chores to your partner! I like washing up, but not cooking (unless it's making something in the slow cooker). Partner dislikes washing up but likes the ironing, which I loathe.

Back at university, I was in some demand as a housemate because I love cleaning bathrooms... 🤣

Oh wow, I can imagine! I don't mind it, but my partner is so much faster at it that he tends to be the one who does it.
