Favorites: cooking, tending to the plants inside and out, organizing and cleaning most things... I love the result which makes it worthwhile. I really don't mind any of the rest. It's just having the time to do it that is more the issue.

Do not like at all, as the word 'hate' actually comes to mind: shoveling snow (as it causes me more physical pain than I normally have), going in the crawl space for any reason (am claustrophobic), and cleaning specifically - windows, and shower/tubs so that if I could afford to hire someone, I definitely would.

I find that washing dishes can be theraputic especially if I am sitting down which I pretty much have to do or my neck starts to hurt after a while.
As long as it's no rush and I can take my time I kind of like it.

What I hate though is taking out the garbage because I hate germs and I hate cold weather. I'm not crazy about having to clean up my bedroom either but, once it's done it does look better and I don't have to step over things in order to move around.
Thanks for this!

Favourite? COOKING!
Least favourite? Shovelling snow and scraping off the car windshield.

my favourite is cooking, though I often forget how much I enjoy it because I'm too tired/busy/stressed to do it! same goes for watering plants. tending to plants can get pretty therapeutic but not when I'm feeling overwhelmed with daily life and don't have the focus or motivation to do so.

my least favourite chore is definitely washing the bathtub. it's hard on my back/joints, and I'm afraid of mold (although my fear of mold means the bathtub is clear of any). shovelling snow is hard on my back too, but if it didn't cause that kind of pain I might actually enjoy it.
Thanks for this!
