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?

Dealing with Aberdeen Council’s repairs services for the last couple of weeks after part of my bathroom floor caved in late at night. After having three emergency temporary repairs and far too many phone calls, the work to replace the floor is starting today.

Starting the editing on my huge shipper essay and trying not to miss too many mistakes and it is turning into something much more bigger than expected it to be.

Blargh. I wish you luck with that.

Blargh indeed. Thanks.

Yeep! Presumably the plumbing and/or roofing issue that caused that (am assuming something got wet and rotted) is being addressed as well?

Editing ALWAYS sucks. Like moving. Sympathy.

I'm on the ground floor and it was initially a leak for the cause, the joiners found that it was a type of rot that's less aggressive than woodworm. The entire bathroom floor has been replaced and I also got all new bath, shower, sink and toilet fitted too.

Editing is hard. Thanks.

Woo! Whole new bathroom! At least the trouble has been worth it?

[lilly_c]

Yep, it has been worth it :)

I know, at least it's now fixed.

Thanks.

Good luck on the flooring issue; we just don't realize the infrastructure that goes on beneath our feet until it's exposed. Yay for essay! :)

[lilly_c]

Thanks, it's all fixed now. I'm in the not-yay phase with it just now.
