MFS introduced me to this book several years ago and it was very enlightening. I think it's time for a re-read. It tackles the topic of drudgery, repetitive monotony, and puts it in a whole new light. It is entitled "Quotidian Mysteries" followed by the words Laundry, Liturgy, and "Women's Work". First, it's nicer to think of those chores with no light at the end of their tunnel as "quotidion" rather than "tedious". It sounds so much nicer, don't you think?
In the meantime, I didn't get to fit in all my finds in the online thesaurus. So here: soporific, wearisome, tedious, bromidic.
There!
Ah!
I feel smarter.

Thanks Jenn! I'm going to check it out. I could use a fresh perspective on the monotony of certain chores - like laundry!
I have heard of this book before...I am going to check it out!
Hi Jenn,
What a great encouragement you are to me this morning. I am literally off to the laundry room now, and with a whole new attitude. Thanks!
