Alrighty then. Did y'all see when I last posted a blog? April 1st! Shame on me! So much for the NQR's, yes? I have recently realized that I suffer from several conditions - none of them fatally so, I hope.
The first condition being one I have been afflicted with for most of my cognizant life...I am lazy. I like to say it's a Leo thing! Not only am I lazy, I am also easily distracted AND a putterer! I can do a lot of seemingly important things in the name of putting off something else. Cat box need cleaning? Yeah, but not as much as the dog needs to be let out. See what I did there? Not only did I do something productive, I did it in another location, away from the cat box! And on my way to let the dog out the back door, I also noticed a magazine that the cat has nudged off the table, picked it up and took my coffee cup back to the kitchen! Whew! After all of that, I'm exhausted!
The next condition is a lack of focus...yup. Easily distracted, as previously mentioned. Not to say that I cannot focus, just that I really have to, sometimes, well....focus - on focusing! Some days it is a wonder that I get anything done at all! Yeah...I was that girl in school who waited until the last minute to start a paper, project, whatever. This is where we tell ourselves that we just work better under pressure! Not really that we do - just that we've conditioned ourselves to do so!
Okay. So here's the title dilemma - and I think it's all somehow related - my mind is overloaded with things to write about! It must be my lack of focus that keeps me from getting it all written! It could be that I don't want to subject anyone to the whole Stream-of-Consciousness writing like "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." Who remembers reading that story in high school? Oh! C'mon! I know I'm not the only one who read it! I hated it! It had no story line that I could follow. It was all over the place! Perfect example of that writing style, but truly a lousy story.
It doesn't help much that many of my most (seemingly) inspirational ideas happen when I am in the bathroom, doing bathroom things (like figuring what else I can do to put off cleaning the cat box), and as quickly as they come to me, something else nudges it out of place! There's just so much I want to share! Packing tips! Planning for a road trip! The praises of study groups!
But for now, I must away (stole that from Romeo and Juliet, or was it the Brothers Grimm?) and clean that cat box. Even the cat box wins the battle sooner or later! Until next time....
