@richardludlow Lord I see what you have done for Richard's friends who had a reasonably coherent vision at age 20-25 for what the wanted their life and career to look like
You are a homemaker in 2026. There should always be a machine on. Always. Unless you are purposely quieting down the home for peace and serenity.
Listen around. Is your dishwasher on? Is your washing machine on? Is your dryer on? Is your Instant Pot on? Is your Roomba on?
If you hear nothing and it's not for purposeful silence, get them going.
If you do that, you can stay on top of keeping a home with much more ease than women of times past.
