I have to brush and floss and clip each nail, take aspirin, vitamins to ward off ills, clear gutters, flip the mattress, sort my mail. I can't forget to pay the rent and bills. It's time to change the oil, inflate my tires. The plants need water; attic needs some air. There's laundry, windows, dust, electric wires and cords to check, shampoo and trim my hair. These tasks when done all build my self-esteem. Self-care's the price you pay for being free. These make me fit to function in a team and no one else can do them, only me. I know if I don't start these things today, tomorrow I will pay and pay and pay.
