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? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your hard things a little easier?

Here's your medal. \o/

When you feel like you're not getting anything done, remember that you have survived things which have killed other people. That really is something to be proud of.

Well, the eggs are peeled and in the brine. The brownies came out FANTASTICALLY well.

Yay food!

Our brownies were scratch, but the easy way to do them would be a box mix, plus four slices of crisply cooked bacon, chopped into bits. Make the brownie batter, stir in the bacon, bake and PRAY you can wait for them to cool enough to cut. *G*

That's a clever workaround.

I am not myself a fan of bacon in sweets, but lots of other people seem to love it.

That's my week. Some of us survived, Let's eat! Keening that I survive, when others did not. :-/
