Brain Cage.

Did you ever have a moment where you think to yourself, “What if I drop dead tomorrow and this was it?”

Every day. Every single day.

But at least most of the time the dishes are done and the laundry is folded.

      If you were enjoying yourself, don’t regret not doing the dishes.

      I did mention a cage in the title though, so it wasn’t all good judgement on my part.

    I worry about this all the time. If I dropped dead now, my obit would read, “Woman found dead in obscenely messy home.”

    I’m going to clean now.

      I’ll bet after it said that it would list fun stuff you were busy doing instead of cleaning, and that would be a good thing.

    I have that horrible thought all the time too. And if it happens before lunchtime then i’m screwed with the dishes. lol

      I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking about what people will think when I’m gone.

    I usually have these thoughts when the dishes and the laundry are NOT done as I imagine family trying to wade through the piles of procrastination πŸ™

      In one place or another, there will be some pile of procrastination. The question for each of us is what we’ll let go of and what we’ll focus our energy on.

    Haha! This is awesome! So there with you sometimes… So there. Except for the folded laundry.

      Like I said to other commenters, if you’re out having fun instead of folding the laundry, I fully support it!

    Am I alone in finding this sad? “…and this was it?” I would tell this speaker, leave the dishes and laundry! Take care of your heart!

      1. michellelongo Post author

        Exactly – taking care of the heart is so much better than the chores. I just wish I’d take my own advice once in a while.

      I’ve had a basket of towels unfolded since Sunday. But I was too busy gargleblasting to get to it. A worthy cause, if I may say.

      What makes me sad is that people wouldn’t remember me for a great contribution to society. I’d rather do something wonderful than have a clean house.

    Haha looks like I wasn’t the only one with the underwear thought while reading this. And folding laundry…pfft! What’s that? πŸ˜‰ But yeah the thought does occasionally cross my mind…

      It is pretty funny how many people were thinking about underwear!
