成人快手

This is now the third consecutive day off school.
there is washing, ironing, cooking and cleaning all screaming for my attention.
when I am at work, I am motivated to get these things done in the hour and a half window between getting out of bed, having breakfast and getting to work.
somehow when the house is busy with morning activity it seems the right thing to do, join in by emptying the dishwasher, washing machine make pack lunches etc etc. It is like a competition with oneself to see how much can be done.
Then off to work with a smug feeling of leaving everything ship shape and on a really good day, the dinner ready too.

But..............
When there is no 8.30 deadline to get out of the house and the day stretches ahead with a good possibility of another day to follow, the urgency is lost, taking with it the momentum to get through the chores. Inertia has set in, followed very quickly by procastination.

Even writing this becomes a displacement activity.

So, I am going to stop now and when I come back in 2 hours timeI will have finished all the aforementioned chores and I can reward myself with a little island browsing and see what is happening in other far flung places.
