Ruminate?

I cleaned my refrigerator this morning. Which felt almost as good as writing a first draft of a story. Apparently it doesn't take much to excite me these days. ;)

Ugh. Cleaning the fridge is one of those thankless tasks. It does feel great when it's done though. I should probably do mine, too. And my oven... ugh.

Ha! Cleaning anything is a chore, but it always feels good to be done.
