Necessity never made a good bargain.
Benjamin Franklin
Bargains is how I manage my day. I bargain with myself. If I want to do something fun, I tell myself I must do some work first.
I am disabled, dying and broken, for doing even small tasks extracts a high price. Pain, breathing and more plays into my day. Add work and the pain increases exponentially.
A walk down the stairs has become difficult, and there is so much to do. That doesn’t include the basic things. Feeding me and the cats, making coffee and lighting the fire twice a day are things just neccesary for our survival.
The great thing about the fire is now the mountain of cardboard boxes is slowly shrinking. There is no firewood this year.
I don’t want to sound like I am whining, I am not. It is what it is.
