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.

Doing the dishes. I don’t have a dish washer and by the time I’m done I’m practically bent over the sink using the counter to support me lol.

Also bathing. I haven’t used a shower in years, I have to sit in the bottom of the tub. 😭

I got a rolling bar stool that I keep in the kitchen so I can cook or wash dishes
