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?

Negotiating an allowance with my beloved... not that it was a hard thing, except in my own mind. But up until now, if I wanted some discretionary spending I had to ask every time, rather than have X amount per month to spend as I will.

For reasons entirely psychological, I hadn't asked her before now... but now that we're better off financially, I worked up the nerve to ask. To which she was, of course, readily agreeable. Although the exact amount is yet to be determined as we're not exactly sure how much better off we'll be. [a base amount was agreed upon, it just might be more.]

But.. I've got issues with asking for things I want, so it was kinda a big deal for me.
