Procrastination! What are you avoiding today?

Homemade soup and bread is a million miles from shop bought and healthier.

Anyway, I assumed this thread was lighthearted.

Oh, sorry!

Car insurance renewal. Since Mr C turned 80 every year seems to be think of a number and double it.

Oh cornergran, I'm changing cars and spent a whole morning trying to change my insurance from one company to another using a comparison website.

I thought I'd been successful but now the new company has emailed me with a hiccup and it's all turning into a nightmare.

The old company wanted to pluck a number out of the air and double it but couldn't give me a reason why, what the agent was telling me was all totally illogical.

The copycat Panera Bread broccoli and cheese soup I made on the weekend went down a treat.

No criticism intended but I don’t understand why anyone “needs” to make soup or bread. Divide the to do list in to 2 columns. One for essential tasks and the other for less important ones.

Well, I have just put some washing out.
It nearly killed me, and I know I'm doing it as others are fetching theirs in, but I have a marvellous little app on my phone, that assures me even the heavy stuff will be done by around 5.30pm.

I'm "painkillered up" have put double base on my legs...

It's all systems go now. (For 10 mins)

I have visitors tomorrow so I ought to be tidying and dusting.

I did manage to post a birthday card in time to use a second class stamp. It wasn’t even on my To Do list! I just remembered and did it.

Havent even been on GN this morning.
Too tired.
And many things on my mind.

Sometimes I look at some problems on GN and think I have bigger ones going on myself[not serious serious]. So close down GN.

Everything!

I am an everything too!

I had the sort of day op has, yesterday.
Today, I had decided my body feels like it needs a rest soon. So, decided, today is the day for that.
I am too tired though, to enjoy the rest day properly. Though that does justify to me, my need for the rest.

Packing for our trip up to the Borders. Can't decide what clothes to take. And probably need to wash some of them too before packing.

I have to keep getting my glasses to read labels.

I had to use the loupe I use for reading hallmarks on jewellery this morning as well as my glasses and I still couldn't read the tiny writing on a label 😠

I've gone from being dynamic to being a procrastinator.
I got up , watered the garden ,did my very enjoyable yoga class, had a quick browse round the charity shops and a mini food shop .
Now my back is hurting and I'm in front of the TV .
It's pushing my shopping trolley , which is causing it .
So I'll have some lunch and try to do a little gentle gardening.
People are waiting for plants ,which I promised them an embarrassing age ago .

Ironing - I hate it and only do it when absolutely essential.

Everything else - washing, necessary cleaning and online grocery shopping have all been done. I've sat and read a book all the way through.

Thanks, crazyH

I've procrastinated so long, I need more painkillers now.

I blame Marydoll.

MissA - thinking of you

I’ve got to go to the supermarket but I don’t want to. It’s too cold in there and I have to keep getting my glasses to read labels. It’s so boring so instead I’m having a cup of tea and reading Private Eye.

My dear DH was always a last minuter and his motto was definitely Procrastinate Now. It was never mine until recently when I can put things off indefinitely.

I have been procrastinating after clicking on the You Tube links on the LP thread I started.

However, I have done the Safeguarding Admin. and filled my weekly medication box, a marathon in itself!

Phew!!
It's not for a couple of weeks yet, thankfully.

That will give me time to sort out transport: I use a community voluntary service which is cheaper than a taxi, but needs to be booked well in advance.

Talk about self sabotage; i'm becoming an expert at that.
A taxi is £50 + there and back, so I need to phone the car scheme today, as that's £25 round trip.

I'm not expecting much from the appointment really.
"Keep taking the pills" type advice, is all.

Dog walked, soup done, starter fed and starting to bubble, butter made and about to smarten my self up!

It’s amazing what you can do when you close your iPad!

I could do with a personal assistant, I think.
Or a nanny!

Every day is like this, really.
My legs are so swollen and sore, and itchy, too, but my painkillers are in the living room, so I need to start the ball rolling.

I am going to do it, though, any minute now...

It sounds as though you really need this hospital appointment.
Can you afford a taxi?

All the cleaning done, waiting for Ocado to arrive and I could be doing something like sorting out summer/winter clothes and culling the airing cupboard but I'm not. I'm juts sitting here typing.

Lots of things, I think I must be the world's biggest procrastinator!! In my world anyway ☺.

Getting up.
I'm not enjoying not getting up, though - I'm all on edge about all the things I'm supposed to be doing.
I have a hospital appt very soon, so soon it may even be today, but I keep putting off looking at the paperwork and sorting out transport.

If its today, it's all too late.
I wont be able to get there, and it'll be too late to cancel, and I'll be in a sorry state.

do you have a friend you can call MissA? sounds like you need a bit of help at the moment.. sending best wishes
