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?

Re: When all the options are frustratingly poor ones, making the best choice you can is a win

You'll have to weigh doing the other options against how much time/energy/money they expend. Ysabet is right, closing time helps... experiment? If she pipes up and wants to go back to your place, then you gotta cut her off.

She's a grownup, you're a grownup, she needs to put her big girl panties on and find a life of her own. Or not, but it's not your place to *take damage* and enable her.

Moving to DW is a good and happy thing. And perhaps filter one's friends list while you're at it?

I also make heavy use of filters over here. I can vent and not offend folks. I can go ooh shiny over high woo-woo and not weird people out who don't wanna be.

And yeah. Ysabet hosts good community. Talks good story, too. She's one of a small handful of people to whom I owe my sanity... for which I am most grateful.

Aw, shucks. I'm glad I could help.

If ever there were an ongoing example of good karma at work, it's you-here.
