... has almost nothing to do with creating.
It's all the basic life skills and activities like food. Seriously. Remembering to eat when you're in the zone is nigh impossible. And when you come out of the zone, you're dizzy and starving, which isn't the best state to be in when trying to cook a healthy meal. Usually, I can cobble something together from whatever is around the condo anyway, but sometimes it's a mishmash. Saturday was leftover turkey meatballs, frozen corn, eggs, some bell pepper, and diet pepsi. I was just about in dire need of groceries though.
But this happens with most chores and me. Creating takes a lot of energy and with no one to help split up the workload at home, I'm nearly always behind. So far behind that I wonder whether or not I'll ever catch up enough to want another human to even see my home.
It doesn't help that I'm a spoonie or that I grew up with a mom who often avoided chores by escaping into a romance novel or a television show. She'd eventually do things, but after everyone else headed to sleep.
I regularly feel like it'll be easier once more of the clutter is gone because I won't have part of my mental processes thinking about the clutter.
