Hard Things

[ysabetwordsmith]

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? What are some hard things you haven't gotten to yet, but need to do?

I didn't know Dawn actually killed the fleas, I thought it just made it easier to comb out of their fur. I totally agree about it working *wonders* for a lot of other things, it's why I've got 3 extra-jumbo warehouse club jugs of it in reserve. :)

I do have a swiffer, but only the dry wiper - not the stick with the liquid reservoir.

I've got a laundry soap with citronella in it, that I've been using at a rate of about 6x the normal amount per load.

Well ...

Soap and detergent can damage chitin, which is the outside layer of insects and many other invertebrates.
