Note to Self
Dear Jeannie: Stop being such a lethargic lump. Go work on finishing the sun room trim. Or start the storm windows project. Or just do laundry. It's not like you have a broken limb or something. Just DO IT.
But I don't want to.
Why? Why don't you want to? **sighs impatiently, taps foot**
I have no idea. I'm tired and I drank too much coffee and now my mind is racing but I want to fall over and sleep on the rug. I don't want to go down to the dark and cold basement. I don't want to sniff denatured alcohol. Leave me alone.
But you have a lot of things on your To Do list. If you fall behind, you'll have to move that much faster in order to catch up. Look at the rest of this list: grocery shopping, pay bills, conduct an interviews, return emails and phone calls and letters, get your prescription renewed, make some critical appointments, mow the lawn, get the car fixed, fix the pipe behind the furnace, tend to your online work, help to get the local library renovated, get a social life, start researching preschools, end world hunger, broker world peace...there is a lot on here. This is a list that CANNOT wait.
You can add "drown in guilt" to that list, too. Because after hearing that list, I have decided to start with the guilt thing.
Listen, young lady. You cannot stop now. You are too close to finishing the front room. How about if I give you a root beer?
I would not do it even for the best root beer in the world today. Which that is, by the way. But, no. Not even for that.
You are seriously hopeless. You know that? Seriously. Is there anything that has even made you laugh in the last week?
Well, this. But that's kind of it.

That certainly looks like good root beer :-)
I'm glad someone else has do-nothing times like that. I was so annoyed with myself for doing nothing that I got up in the middle of the night the other night and painted a closet. Thus allowing myself to later put stuff back in to the closet that had been cluttering up the living room for days.
Denatured alcohol...you know how something crosses your path that you've barely heard of, and then it comes up again the next day? I was asking a Pella window guy what to use to remove duct tape adhesive where he'd duct taped new sliding door cladding so the adhesive would set, and he told me denatured alcohol, so it wouldn't mar the cladding.
So I'm off the the hardware store to get that. The first time in my life I've used denatured alcohol for anything, what else is it used for?

Oops, that was me, didn't mean to be anonymous.
