Cost Benefit Analysis

Checking on the furnace and doing three loads of laundry: 8 trips up and down the basement stairs.

Doing the dishes: 1 pair of waterlogged hands.

Taking out the trash: 1 trip into the bitter cold.

Doing the shopping: 2 trips into the bitter cold, and contending with crowded parking lots and crowded shops.

The glow of home-makerly pride: priceless.
