The alarm goes off at 4:30 because Karen said she wanted to swim laps before work. There was one a time when I would run before work. But, now, without a tall blue body. Alas. The precious hours before the rest of the world wakes up!
However, today Karen mumbles something about setting the clock back to six. I fumble with the clock radio in the dark and then force myself to stumble out of bed anyway.
I may not run much anymore - but I can run off at the mouth.
Monday mornings are a bit tougher. I stare at the screen and don't know what do to. Actually, I don't know "which" to do because there are several things:
- Work on collecting Sally pictures for Brian
- Write more on Avatar agreeing somewhat with Tabor and Barry.
- Answer some email
- Read blogs
- Surf the net in general
- Print and frame a picture or two
BUTLER: "Lists are good."
BAGMAN: "Push the publish button and go to Sally pictures for Brian."
BUTLER: "But it would be polite if he read some blogs. His friends will miss his comments. What was you logic for doing Sally pictures instead?
BAGMAN: "No logic!!! Just do something!! Anything! As they sad in Avatar, 'If you're going to shoot, shoot. But don't talk'."
BUTLER: "That wasn't Avatar, you cinematographic dust bunny! That was from 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
Realizing that I am not the only one who can jog off at the mouth, I turn out the light on the debating duo and go to do...well something.
PS: I did agree with Tabor and Barry about the one-sidedness of the military in Avatar, although whats-his-name, the "It's not over if I'm still breathing" Colonel did a great acting job of being a classic bad guy. Yes, I only have to read Airman Mom to know soldiers have good hearts and adopt dogs and such. I want a dragon.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest time waster has always been trying to figure out what to do next.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - I could have written that! I sit down at the computer, do the two or three Must-dos and then do exactly that! A heavy programme
you have produced there, though!
Ouch! I second Dave King - or do I third you?
ReplyDeleteIn retirement I have become the biggest of big procrastinators. Something I was NOT when work time meant play time was very limited.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to tell you how much time I waste trying to decide what to do. I am trying to come up with a workable schedule of blog time, e-mail time, business time, reading time, play time and there just isn't enough time in the day...therefore I sit and try to decide what to do first.
ReplyDeleteBut I did finally change the header back to normal.
ReplyDelete4:30 in the morning? To go and swim laps?
ReplyDeleteYIPES!
Now that I've retired, I wake up at 7:30 and then still grumble.
B&B I spend a lot of time trying to decide what to do first, second etc. It matters to no one but me and I don't really care much, just as long as it is someting I want to do. Now the watermarks, that was one of the things I just wanted to learn to do. I do it on photoshop and someone told me about Windows Writers-Live, but too complicated for me.
ReplyDeleteSo the watermarks will probably just go by the wayside.
QMM
Have you read mine lately :) Oh do what you want, I go with the flow!
ReplyDeleteMonday morning is an awful time to have to figure out what to do. Karen's approach (delay, delay, delay) suits me fine. I only got up when I did this morning because I had decided on Sunday that I wanted to register for an online course as soon as registration opened. . . at a reasonable time for east coasters, but early for Pacific Northwesters.
ReplyDeleteI see you have scooped me on the topic of Avatar! On the other hand you reminded me of a favorite trilogy: The Man With No Name (my favorite was A Fistful of Dollars).
