diaries from the basement
things i don’t like

i am washing dishes while watching something quite boring on TV and i suddenly had a realization of things i don’t like, so i thought i’d share them.  i really don’t like washing dishes.  i think i’m going to pack away all of my dishes except for two of everything so i do not have to wash but a few at a time.  i always put this off until i have too many and then the shear enormity of the task is overwhelming.  i also dislike cutting the lawn.  i find lawns pointless, as i like nature to look natural.  unfortunately i live in a city where nature is under strict control and i must conform to the standards of the community.  i also dislike cleaning the litter box for my cats.  i am a fanatical animal lover so i have three cats and a dog, which is not as many as i have had in the past, and i do keep their facilities clean, but i really dislike the actual task.  i have always taken in strays until i could find them homes, so i have had a lot of cats at times.  this leads to a lot of litter changes, so i am quite good at the activity, but that does not change the fact of the unpleasant nature of the task.  this leads to a thought, is there a task of living you find particularly unpleasant?

well i feel better having said this, and i will return to the task at hand.
