Heh. I don't love it, but I don't hate it, either. I can't really
think of a single housecleaning task that I hate in itself. The thing
I hate about housework is that feeling I get when there's a ton to be
done, and I feel overwhelmed by it all. But if I shake myself and get
into the "Just do one task for now, and don't worry about the whole
mess" mode, I can enjoy just standing there with my hands in the soapy
water, or just putting things back where they belong, or whatever. One
moment in this life is as valuable as another, and I do find joy
wherever I can, because after all, it'll all be over soon enough and I
won't have another chance.
