My feet ached and my mind was foggy.

I wanted to run out the back door.

But I thought of the plates still stacked.

So I stayed and wiped them dry.

The clock moved slower that hour.

But each dish I finished felt like a win.
但每洗完一个盘子都感觉像赢了一样。
When the last tray went away, I smiled.

I almost quit, but I didn't.

That feeling is better than rest.

Tomorrow I'll face the rush again.
明天我又要面对忙碌了。
But now I know I can finish it.
但现在我知道我能完成它。
