This question is for people who wash their curtains: how do you find the energy to do it in between normal loads of laundry?
Mine could use a wash, but by the time I find the motivation to get a chore done, it’s already time to do one of the regular (more necessary) chores.

When you say “what’s wrong with you now” or “are you better yet” you’re refusing to accept the reality of our disabilities.
