Today is a day when procrastination lays thick in the air, like a fog settling in all around me. I pretend it’s not there as I sit in my chair, pencil in hand.
Come on, Cath. Focus. You can do this. You can do this.
Only my coffee has cooled. A quick trip to the kitchen will fix that. It’s good to get up and stretch my legs anyway. And maybe a snack will help? What’s in the fridge? What am I in the mood for? These counters need a wipe down. And the sink? May as well clean that up while I’m at it.
Back to it, Cath. Come on. You’ve got this.
Whoops. I left the coffee in the microwave. And it’s still cold. And the dogs need to go out. You know, a little fresh air wouldn’t hurt. A change of scenery, maybe? A few minutes to clear my head and start fresh … Oh my, these cushions could really use a good wipe down.
No.
No. No. No.
Not today, Cath. Not today.
Focus.
Back to the kitchen for that coffee, still waiting. Wait, the fronds on my fern are looking kind of crispy. That’s not good. A quick soak in the sink will take care of it, though a re-pot is definitely in order. I’ve been procrastinating over that task. It won’t take but a minute. Well, maybe five, but it will be done, and my plant will be happy. And I’ll feel so good for having checked that off the list.
Okay. Now I’m ready. Where was I? Oh, yes. Blog post. Yep. I am ready to tackle that task. Whew. I am so glad I have a day open on the calendar to get it done.
What are Saben and Ellie barking about? Is that the UPS truck out front? Oh yay! My shelf organizers have arrived!! I’ll just take a quick peek in the box. Oooh … these are nice. Nothing like organizing to get me re-energized. Let’s see, what’s the best way to organize my pantry, my linen closet, and the laundry room? Hmmmm … Looks like I need to order more shelf organizers.
But not today.
Oh my goodness. Is it 1:30 already? Wow. It’s time to get serious. I mean it this time. I’ll just grab a quick bite of lunch before I sit down and give it another go. It’s a good thing I have this day open wide.
Yep. It’s a good thing I have this day open wide.
Now. What should I write about??
