Boring stuff, i.e., housecleaning
May. 5th, 2005 10:00 amI have seen the enemy and it is my bedroom.
Cleaning is the name of the game today. I MUST clean our bedroom, it looks like the messiest kind of attic or basement. This is the room that we will be retreating to when all hullabaloo breaks loose in a few weeks with work teams and guests galore -- and it can't look like this, because it's not peaceful and we can't find anything. And it's dusty.
I fear doing it, because I will sneeze a lot, and I know I will unearth all kinds of undone jobs that will make me feel guilty -- the List of Doom at work -- but procrastinating just makes it worse. Fortunately, it's the kind of day that I feel like working -- sunny and cool and energizing. It's also the kind of day for being outside, which is an irritating paradox. Hopefully I'll have time for a walk.
I also need to take my boy out to play in traffic -- in other words, he is ready for the next step in learning to drive, in real traffic and not in a parking lot. Eeeek! The traffic in this part of PA is scary, to say the least.
Ah well, enough procrastinating, I guess; better get to work attacking the enemy before it gets the best of me. ;-)
