All I do is sleep !!!

It is a lazy Sunday afternoon. I am lying down after lunch when my mother calls me.

"What are you doing?"
I mumble a soft "Nothing important, Ma. Just lazing around".
A few minutes of gen chit-chat and we put the phones down.

After about 15 minutes, I get up and tie my unmanaged hair into a ponytail.
The laundry bags are full; I soak the exponentially increasing amounts of dirty laundry in warm water.
My almirah needs a bit of tiding up. I carefully fold the big pile of clean laundry one by one. Shirts, trousers, skirts, tops, jeans, t-shirts, undies and socks all go to their respective shelves in the almirah.
In the meanwhile, the dirty clothes have been soaked enough. I lug the WET and HEAVY clothes to the washroom. On the way I notice Archi sleeping late, so I go wake her up. I do the laundry and put it out to dry.
My table is half full with dirty dishes from the mess. I go and return them.
I also remember that I had bought lots of fruits the previous day. I peel the oranges and bananas, cut the apples and guavas, mix them with the grapes, and prepare fruit chat out if it. I am happy with the result and share it with my wingies.
The spiders have been frightening me and Nils since days together, so I decide to clean the cobwebs.
While at it, I realize that my book-rack is untidy. All that is set right in a few minutes.
All the dust on the floor, I must sweep it clean.

By now, I feel exhausted myself so I casually sit on the bed and rest my tired back on the pillow.

Mother calls again and says "You sleep all day. Why not get up and do something?"

I throw a puzzled look... "Huh?!!!!!!!"

Yes, that’s another classic example of how my work goes royally unnoticed every single time. I just sit and sleep all day, you see!
