I washed dishes as part of my payment for my lunch today... It seemed the least I could do to show my appreciation for those who had labored to provide a meal worth eating...
Someone asked what I thought of the food. I told her I was the wrong person to ask that... The thing is I've been hungry often enough that about the only thing I would complain about would be moving insects on my plate... Otherwise? It's cooked, 'normal' food? It was worth eating!
However the opening of this blog sort of diverts from what I was going to write about... Mainly that would be a sort of list of non-sexual services that I consider part of a relationship. I wouldn't want to be mainly a domestic servant, though I certainly didn't mind washing the dishes and don't mind housekeeping (just don't want it as a permanent and only job) the same goes for the yard. I have little problem waking up a two or four cycle engine and mowing or trimming or even doing a bit of work on a tree, though I'm far from an arborist.... I like to do a variety of tasks and would consider them to be a part of the bargain (so to speak) of a LTR that progressed to the point of shared quarters. Of course I'd prefer to sit down with my housemates and set the schedule for such things just as I would prefer to sit down and set a budget with said housemates so that everyone knew what was expected in all parts of the relationship.
