I'm having one of those days.  There are too many attractive things to do, and I'm wandering from one to the next without completing any of them.

Cut down the dead bush in the garden, but I'm not quite energetic enough to get out there with the shovel and dig out the roots.  I know I should do it.  But then I should also put down landscaping fabric (to keep the weeds down; have to buy that first.)And then I need to cut some holes in the fabric and pop some new plants in (Have to buy those still.)  And then I should put bark or other mulch over the fabric (need to buy that, too!) 

And I don't really feel like sacrificing the sunny day to go to the store.  Instead, I'd rather sit outside on the swing like a kid and do nothing.  My grand-daughter caught me at that yesterday.

So.  I should pay the bills, answer all the email, and do those revisions.  I really should.  But looking out the window at a sunny day is not making it any easier!

Tomorrow, I will be down in Beaverton, Oregon at Powell's Books.  Looking forward to seeing Peter again at the store, and wandering their stacks.  I always come home with a sack of books from there. If you live anywhere in that area and you haven't browsed their store, you are in for a treat!

But, if I'm spending the day tomorrow on the drive down to Oregon, I'd best get some of my work done today!

Nose to the grindstone!  No matter how painful!
