I have an ongoing list of things to deal with related to my house. This list is in addition to the normal things that must be done, like cleaning the floor or using the vacuum. Some of the things are not pressing but need to be done at some point. Other things are improvements that I may or may not get to in the distant future. I would cry but I'm too busy continuously adding things to the list that I don't have time to cry.
I have contacted the Oxford English Dictionary people to explain that the following list should be the new official definition of "home ownership":
