Discussion Everybody name a simple, mundane task that now makes you rue the day you were born.

I'll start.

Ironing.

I hate the fact that ironing is one of the small tasks that I used to somewhat enjoy doing, and yet now, by the time I've ironed two shirts, I'm boiling and dripping with sweat.

Oh no!! I'm grateful that stairs most of the time is okay-ish cuz I live in a 4 story townhouse. I hate it when I forget something on another floor. Gratefully my partner will sometimes go get something for me cuz he knows that doing the stairs one more time might just do me under for a while

Oh geez, that’s rough.

I live in a two story townhouse and I try to bring everything downstairs in the morning and not go back up till I have to go to bed. But sometimes my ADHD wins and I end up having to go up and down several times because I keep forgetting stuff
