Day #589 Deadlines


For some reason I’ve gotten myself into a situation where I’m facing a whole bunch of deadlines.

  1. Complete the three-book proposal for my agent before tomorrow
  2. Clean my house (AARGH!) before my sister arrives on September 27th.
  3. Paint the garage door before October 1st (double-AARGH).
  4. Find someone who can sharpen the blades to my reel-type mower (or teach me how to do it myself) before … well, soon.
  5. Complete a rough draft of my newest Biscuit McKee mystery before November 15th.

I know I’ve brought these on myself. Several of them could have been over and done with already if I’d just DO something (like start the vacuum cleaner). 

I’ll get number 1 done as soon as I stop typing this blog post. But the rest of them? Guess I can put them off a little while longer.

Self discipline. This week it just ain’t happening around this house.

I’m going to go make myself a Blue Bell Ice Cream milkshake.


BEEattitude for Day #589:
       Blessed are those who work as diligently as bees. Blessed are those, also, who flutter as diligently as butterflies, for both shall be content.
