April 7 National No Housekeeping Day

April 7 National No Housecleaning Day

Dishes in the sink
I have to restrain myself.
Not that I'm a neat freak,
I have let the plates pile up
on more than one occasion.
But today, officially, I'm told not
to clean, take a break, ignore mess.
OMG, the stress of it!

Routine shattered,
unfocused, set adrift
dreaded chores
become anticipated celebration.
