Bah, more perfectionism

I'm fighting feeling l*zy^# today, showing the sense not to mess with the Nitromors with my asthma and chemical sensitivities. That means that vatine has been stripping the radiator, while I avoid that part of the house. Including the kitchen, with stuff I could be doing in there.

Sticking him with tedious, fumy work doesn't feel great. But, I'm trying to bear in mind that I do a lot of tedious work on my own--and this particular division of labor doesn't seem to be bothering him. And I trust him to let me know if it does, instead of just getting resentful.

BTW, the new paint stripper is working much better. It's still a fiddly job.

^# This deserves disemvowelling about as much as any other term. Thanks to Stepping Out of Squalor for pointing this out.

It's not laziness avoiding a chore that will make you ill and unable to do other chores! Yay for having the good sense to leave it to a willing volunteer. I'm sure you will make up for it in other ways.

Thanks. I'm trying to be more fair to myself, but habits can be hard to break. :)
