i skipped a chore

ok so like my partner is this super duper organized type and they set up these little rules for the house stuff you know like we have our cleaning schedule and such. i love it because honestly helps me stay on top of things but also it just feels like an extra layer of intimacy and connection in a weird way ya know? we do that adult thing where sometimes one of us is littler and sometimes its more about being caregivers for each other. today though, well today i totally bailed on my part of the chores. my job was to empty out this big recycling bin at the curb but it was so damn chilly and raining all day long. i just couldn’t make myself do it you know? instead i stayed cozy inside drinking hot tea and watching movies. didn’t even tell them about skipping it until they asked later, which felt pretty bad tbh. i knew if i admitted right away it would only cause more of a fuss so maybe i was hoping to get off the hook for not doing it at all? but now here i am feeling totally guilty and just knowing i need to go out there and do my duty. also kind of excited about how my partner might react though lol - they tend to be pretty strict but also super understanding if you come clean about your slip ups. so yeah, tiny little thing really but feels like a big deal in the grand scheme of things i guess. just needed to get it off my chest here.
