The Gf has taken to leaving me little lists of stuff to do each morning before she leaves for work. Each item on the list has a point value and if I do the thing, I get the points. I am not sure what the points are for, and I do not think she has got that far yet. When I asked her, she threw the question back at me, saying "What do you want the points to be worth?" If you ask a man this question, you should not be surprised at the answer.
You can tell I am not married. When I told some married buddies of mine this story, I expected they would respond as I would, with some sort of sexual favour. Their response was to trade in points for some period of being left alone/not nagged by their wife.
What have I got myself into?
I do not think I am lazy, but I do find it hard to motivate myself to do something I do not want to do. When I lived alone, I would sometimes go 2 weeks without cleaning the house. One guy living alone in a fairly big house, who works and goes out a lot does not make a big mess. I would usually just leave the place until I felt in the "cleaning mood" (or had a date coming over) and then would go nuts and spend a few hours cleaning everything. Living with a woman and 2 cats, that system is no longer practical.
This is compounded by the fact that we are thinking of selling my place and moving, so there is a lot of work getting the place set to show.
I should stop reading so many blogs and get to work.
Then again, tomorrow is another day. Maybe I will fell like cleaning tomorrow.
