Since we’re off to the Keys on Christmas Day and the day before is the 33rd anniversary of Paul’s arrival into this world, we celebrated his birthday a little early. We spent the night at the W Hotel in downtown San Diego and got to spend the weekend pretending we were true urbanites. Since we live 15 minutes from downtown – we’re probably considered mid-urbanites.
While we shopped, opened presents, ate a fantastic meal of complicated fancy foods and slept on a feather bed, Roe spent the first night with Kelli – his new dog sitter. We thought a test run while we were within driving distance was a good idea before we left for Florida and it seems to have gone quit well. Kelli’s only negative comment about Roe was on his snoring. Fortunately she found it cute and still considers him a sweet dog so we’re on for next week’s trip.
I’m supposed to be sitting here at my computer now doing some work. Since I will be out for a week and next week is shortened by business planning sessions and parties, I have much to do. Unfortunately, I am suffering pre-vacationitus and have already become mentally distracted about my vacation and so the nose-to-the-grindstone thing is just not working for me. Which means that until it becomes perilously close to the time were I would miss my project deadline, I will not get much done. I have to wait for the fear factor to kick in, sending appropriate amount of panicked adrenaline into my designer brain to get the ideas rolling and the project complete. It’s a stressful way to get things done but usually effective. I wish I could manually start it but only true deadlines initiate the reaction. Wish me luck!
Glad you and Paul had a great BD celebration time and that Roe’s sitter passed the test, even the snoring portion.
Your case of procrastination is a family gene, I believe. There are a couple of other folks in your family who operate somewhat the same way. Unfortunately, the writer might be fingered as one of those by someone near and dear.
Have a great vacation!
