should be

I should be doing the dishes.
I should be throwing out old papers from work.
I should be going through my closet and getting rid of things.
I should be preparing for next year's teaching.
I should be on a diet.

Yes, I should be doing all sorts of things I hate doing.

It all seems so trivial.

There's a war going on. People are being attacked, bombed, blitzed. People are being killed.

That shouldn't stop me.

Now I'll go and wash the dishes.
