PROCRASTINATION
SHUFFLE
Terri
DelCampo
Okay, so I ate, I
exercised, I romped with the doggie a little bit, time to get down to business,
at last.
Oh, no. That isn’t how it works, exactly. You see, there are a whole list of things I
have to do that are work-related, but of course, there are personal chores that
I’ve failed to keep up with in the past two years that I held a full-time job
outside my home. There are friends and
relatives I haven’t written to, maintenance on the car that got neglected for
lack of time, people I should visit who think I’ve fallen off the face of the
earth, discussion groups at bookstores that looked interesting, afternoon
matinees at most affordable prices that are uncrowded, beautiful weather to
enjoy while walking through the park or sitting on a bench, a turtle’s aquarium
to clean out, moldy grout in the bathroom to scrub.
And if by some
miracle of a chance I do actually fire up the old computer, there is my Mah
Jongh title to defend, chat rooms to visit, e-mail to answer.
You would think
writing was my least favorite occupation considering how hard I work to not get
started, wouldn’t you?
