Something Accomplished

Let me be frank - painfully, brutally honest. At 10.30 this morning I didn't feel in any way whatsoever inclined to start cleaning the many windows in this house. But I'd cunningly told The Missus I would do the job the night before, and before coming up to KL I'd imagined the satisfaction of completing the job, so I really had no choice.

I started slowly, lethargically, and the pace never picked up. But that's the point. You can't clean windows quickly. By its nature it's a tedious job and needs to be done in a steadfastly tedious manner. Which meant the exercise worked well for me. It took me until the late afternoon to get every window done, but done they are, and I'm now highly satisfied by how I've fooled myself into some kind of minor accomplishment.
