Just a Little Bit

I was once doing some repairs on a house I knew I would be moving from, so I did not want to put in too much money. I remember looking at the work, nicely done, and being irritated I couldn't do everything - and the construction guy said to me, 'it's like a woman only making up one eye'
How unfortunately true! And I don't even do eye make-up, so this is even more amazing that even I understand the comparison.
Half done is not done at all. It's like cooking the eggs for half the time necessary - they look better than raw, but could make you very sick. Not done. Like taking a shower and not washing under one armpit. The rest of you is nice and clean-smelling, but somehow, it does not overtake the rank of that poor pit that is left unwashed.
The one bad apple does spoil the whole barrel, I guess. So, even though I am happy with my progress, it is very irritating not to be done.
And I wonder if it ever will be. Does the junk multiply while I sleep? Like.....viruses? (If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my clutter to take......but I fear God doesn't want my crap either!)
It seems as if this is the case, even though I am aware I could be exaggerating a teensy, tiny bit.
One newspaper left on the floor - the room is a mess. One dish in the sink. Of course, I have a lot more than one, but you get the drift. More work is necessary - I must not sit on my laurels. Even though my laurels are tired and would like to be sat on - much as I love doing this blog, I may have to have a list of goals. To reach by certain dates. I can hear my brain laughing. Wait, do I hear an avalanche of lots of little bits? Gotta go - hope I can do just a little bit more.....with a little bit of ....is that a song cluttering my brain.......a little bit of bloomin'
luck.......
