Day 12: How I Procrastinate


I am the queen of justification.
I will always find a reason to put off doing something unpleasant or tedious.
Until crunch time and then I get a lot done.

This mostly occurs when I need to get the house ready for a party or dinner guests.
The result is shoving a bunch of stuff in random closets and not being able to find them again...

Like the year I misplaced my Christmas Ornaments.
Who misplaces Christmas Ornaments.

This girl.
A whole great big box of them.
I put them in our bedroom closet vs. the guest closet and then proceeded to bury them with random crap the rest of the year that would make its way into our closet.

I found them.
The day after Christmas when I thought it would be a good day to clean the closet.

How do I procrastinate?
I justify not doing stuff immediately convincing myself I have plenty of time to get it all done.

I'm a master at it.

Please don't open my bathroom cabinet.
You could probably do a whole Scavenger Hunt with the randomness of that cabinet.

We're barrelling towards the holidays at warp speed.
The rest of my month will be a whirlwind of activity
1. A Christmas Carol 12/9
2. A quick trip home to celebrate Christmas & December birthdays
3. Christmas Eve at my house
4. Christmas Day Brunch at my house
5. Christmas Dinner at the MIL's
6. Straight No Chaser on 12/27
7. Year End at the office
8. Boom! New Years in Lahaina and a family wedding!

The holidays used to take forever when I was growing up and now they come at me so fast it's like a bitch slap full of glitter.

Are you ready?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June.
