Where there's a Way, there's a Will, right?
I'm supposed to be studying. I'm supposed to be getting up, seeing the children off to school, eating a healthy breakfast, and settling down to a full day of school work. Monday to Friday, week in and week out, for the next 5 1/2 months. The machinery of education is oiled and ready, and the necessary money is being supplied. The courses are even relatively interesting. But what am I doing?
I've started playing a TV game for the first time in years. I'm trying to finish up a poem. I'm reading the seed catalogue and planning this year's garden. I'm experimenting with our new camera. I'm doing a good deal of nothing.
One week has already slithered down the drain, and I heard the satisfied clunking sound the sink made as it went. God help me, I hope it's not hungry for more.

I often feel the least like doing what needs to be done the most.
Excellent observation, Brendar. I'm in the same boat. Then when I finally get around to doing it, I think "Wow, that was as big a waste of time as I'd feared"
Sounds like the life of a student.
Mr. B,
I am desperately hoping I'm beyond the knee-jerk variety, and that there's a deeper reason for my disinclination. If I can put my finger on it, perhaps it will pass.
Joe,
Is there room in that boat for me, too?
A.C.,
Aye, and it hasn't changed in the 20 years I've been away from it.
The good news is so far you have only used 1 week .Maybe with any luck or motavation by week 9 or 10 things will be on track. But if not you have only used 9 or 10 weeks . so on an on an on ------------
Steve,
I believe you're right. I just hope there's time left for what I HAVE to do.
Charles,
The half-full approach. A good plan. And I won't have to agonize until the last minute.
Well it sounds like you are procrastinating...we`ve all done that.Don`t worry when it becomes more serious Im sure you`ll step up! :--)
Consise,
Perhaps it's easier to stop if it has a single word attached to it. "Stop procrastinating, Jeanne!"
I love your way of putting things. One week has already slithered down the drain, and I heard the satisfied clunking sound the sink made as it went. God help me, I hope it's not hungry for more. Well put.
All the stuff you are doing sounds like the best stuff to do. Go for it - the mundane stuff will always be there for you.
Terry,
I think I am restoring balance.
Careful there tsduff. The mundane stuff can slither away before you miss it.
