Hard Things

Life is full of things which are hard or tedious or otherwise unpleasant that need doing anyhow. They help make the world go 'round, they improve skills, and they boost your sense of self-respect. But doing them still kinda sucks. It's all the more difficult to do those things when nobody appreciates it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our accomplishments and pat each other on the back.

What are some of the hard things you've done recently?

Despite feeling nauseous due to vertigo I cooked my beloved's tea. [at midnight, due to overtime] roast duck in plum & cranberry sauce with Brussels sprouts [which I can't stand the smell of] and lime & coriander rice.

It was very well received.
