Plans versus Reality
My idea of what I was going to do this morning:
Get up
Eat Breakfast
Take Michael to work
Write
Do some laundry
Start a fire
Read a book
What actually happened this morning:
Get up
Take Michael to work
Run by my office to pick up power supply for PDA that I forgot to take home last night
Eat breakfast
Get kitchen ready for new dishwasher after being told installer would be here between 9 and 10
Start fire
Start laundry
Flatten pile o’ boxes to be recycled while waiting for fire to take off
87 phone calls about whether or not the dishwasher is in stock, is available
Read one chapter of book
More phone calls about dishwasher situation
More laundry
Waiting for dishwasher
I sometimes wonder why I even bother to make plans, since things never ever work according to plan.
However, I’m not at work, so WHO CARES?
WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I take vacation time at home, thinking I can create my own in-home artist/writer’s retreat — and all my time gets nibbled to death by ducks. Run this errand, do this DIY home task, just one load of laundry, and since you’re home can you…? Argh. I hope you’re able to carve out some totally relaxed time with no obligations this holiday!

Trust me, that is definitely part of my plan. I just spent six months digging out of a bout of depression, so I’m still very cautious about my mental state.
In fact, I went and got a massage today, and then we went out to dinner. So I’m making sure I get my down time.
And “nibbled to death by ducks” cracked me up, since it made me think of this:
