Turtle Time

Oy vey. I can't decide if my brand of slow is more like the turtle or like the snail on his back. Either way, I have not been particularly efficient today and nobody would accuse me of trying to pass for Speedy Gonzales. Just one of those easy-going, amiable sort of days, you know? No big deadlines. That's probably the problem. I find I tend to get less done when I have lots of time to do it.

In any case, I ended up getting totally distracted with a John Grisham book, "The Broker," and didn't even notice the sun had gone down until I finished the last chapter and looked around to see where I'd left my coffee mug. Ooops.

Well, see, that means there are several things on today's To Do list that I have to slide over to tomorrow's To Do list. Which means I'll have less time to do the stuff than I had today -- therefore, according to the theory, I should be able to manage to get 'er done.

Or not. In any case, I think I'd better hurry up and post this before the day is completely used up. Then I can see about programming myself to catch up on all the things I missed doing today. In the meantime, hope y'all are having a perfectly super day. Or night, depending on the time zone. Don't trip over any turtles.

Dee, I remember getting caught up in The Broker as well. There are worse things.

I managed to get 2 knick knack shelves dusted but that was probably the rush from the steriod. :-)

You're right, Wendy. Grisham isn't my favorite author but he's among those I always enjoy.

Now don't get all egg-cited, Bonnie. There's no reason to do more than 2 shelves a day in the heat. Right? (I'm trying to help.)

Ah, I will take dust to dust and reading as excuses for not being here. I'm just jazzed to see you again.......
