I'm having a very productive day. Sweet russet potato soup is simmering on the stove, the warm aroma of rosemary and nutmeg wafting through the kitchen; a fresh loaf of wheat-free bread is rising on the countertop; and I'm sitting at the table sipping an agave-sweetened berry medley yogurt smoothie watching the antics of our two resident parakeets, Zoomer and Ziggy. Ah...life is good. And...I'm procrastinating...again...
I collapse on the table in a heap of despair. Alas! Duty calls...I still have schoolwork to do, despite the Siren call of a myriad of sundry tasks that I'd much rather be doing. I close off the little voice inside my head that is telling me that I need to bake a cake. I turn my back to the window so the sunshine outside doesn't steal my attention. I ignore the seven emails that I suddenly "need" to respond to.
And I'm finishing this post so I no longer have any reason to not focus on the assignments at hand: a 10-page paper for Ethics, and an evaluation tool for a research project grant application.
Life can be so cruel.
