Stop the World
I got a note from a friend this morning. She said, "I've been so busy. I feel like, 'Stop the world and let me off!'"
This morning, I know the feeling a little bit. I've gone for days with no pressing needs, no feeling of "I have to get this done." And now, since Tuesday morning, I have suddenly found myself in the midst of pressing duties that have to be done by a time limit. How did that happen?
I know I need to be busy, but I don't need to be overbusy. It would be good to be able to pick and chose which things I can ignore and which things I can do in a few minutes. I hate the feeling of having to do seven things immediately.
Some of it is my own fault. The Artists' Guild meeting was over a week ago and I haven't written a report on it. Now I know I must do it before the afternoon. And I still don't want to do it. But I need to stop debating the issue in my mind, get out my notes and DO IT. OK, that's next on my list.

I can relate to this....I am the PRESIDENT of the procrastinators club. I may know a year ahead of time and will wait until the VERY last minute to do anything!!
Deer Love corn, and apples, and melon rind. They will not eat tulips or daffodils though, so those are the safe flowers to plant.
