Mental load – 100 words

May 28, 2023 By Ellen

Mental load

 

dentist, haircuts

worm tablets, damp on the ceiling

just out of date stewing steak, and the squeaky garden gate

a change in teenage behaviour, keep an eye on that

school trip to be paid for and verrucas again

quick trip to the supermarket between band practice and scouts

don’t forget Susan’s birthday

not Tenerife again, maybe Turkey – passport renewals

free travel insurance details lost

avocados gone soft, bread gone hard

three weekends til payday

when’s the insurance due?

water the garden, washing out, washing in

rain by lunch, gluten-free playdate, bake sale

MOT, HRT, cup of tea, SPF 50
