This is where I let you feel a little bit superior to me,
because odds are you are getting way more done than I am. This is procrastination, December style.
Today, I am not doing so many things. Well, to be honest,
this month things aren’t getting done.
I am not finishing my photo calendar for next year.
I am not taking my family Christmas photo.
Therefore, I am not ordering my Christmas cards.
Thus, I am not SENDING Christmas cards.
I am not shopping for Christmas. I am not making a list and
so I am not checking it twice. I am being way too nice and not nearly naughty enough.
I am not cleaning my house. The dust is getting thicker. The
carpets need vacuuming. The bathrooms…need a Haz Mat suit to enter. The
refrigerator needs cleaning.
I am not doing yard work. The piles of leaves are piling. I
am not spraying for weeds. It's like the weeds are the Crips and the garden plants are the tourists who took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong place. It isn't pretty! Not pruning the roses. Not dead heading the plants.
None of it.
I am not cleaning the pool. I am not cleaning the pool
filter. I am ignoring the leaves in the pool. In fact, if I squint just right, I don't even notice the leaves in the pool!
I am not cleaning my gutters. I am not removing dead pigeons
from those gutters. What are Kamikaze pigeons doing in my gutters anyway?!
I am not hanging the Christmas lights outside.
I am not clearing off my desk. I am avoiding my paperwork.
My filing. My accounting work.
I am not writing my To Do list.
Therefore, I am not getting anything done on the To Do list.
Well, actually, I can say that everything on the list is done because there is
nothing on the list! Somehow, I feel a little bit successful.
I am not downloading a new version of Quicken on my Mac
because to do that I would have to figure out how to transfer the information
from the laptop. Too many steps and too overwhelming.
I am not planning my Christmas menu.
But I did get a blog posted! Ta da!! Problem is, it's not very creative and not very funny. Oh well. It was funnier in my head, after all.
