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?

They've made it like that with cars. When we had VW Jettas, we had a number of Volkswagen-specific tools. We had to get a specific Toyota thing after our last VW died and we wound up with a 2006 Corolla. And that died in the coastal flooding at Christmas, so now we've got another Jetta - it belonged to my daughter-in-law, who developed a severe eye infection last year, and can't drive any more. (And I can't drive because of the stroke.) My son removed all the wards and other protections they had put on the Jetta, so I could add my own. So... this little car is a rabbit. Beneath the notice of a person who has big important things to do. Not big enough to be a threat, but not big enough to bother to eat either. So you just don't notice me driving a little faster than the law says, or sneaking past you as I take the exit. Just a harmless little bunny of a car, in the care of a hedge-Witch.
