This morning I woke up at 8 with a warm furry purring cat on my chest. We had a discussion about me needing to get up. Avery fought valiantly to keep me down. I HAD to get up because today IS the day I slotted in my crazy schedule to write my 20 page Economics paper due this semester. Last night I even made a point of telling my girls (Cherie and Angie) that I had to hunker down and write today... Don't call or show up. I need to WRITE darn it. Today is THE day!!!
I got up, made my coffee, cleaned the kitchen and changed my refrigerator water filter. Then I spotted the plants I bought yesterday to replace those that bit the dust in our late frost last week. Now or later? I grabbed my gloves and a shovel, and planted those along with the peppers I have been raising in my kitchen. I hoed the aisles and weeded the veggie/herb garden. Then watered it of course...
I remembered the other seeds I have that I haven't cultivated yet... So I cleaned out my peet containers and set them up again for the next go round... and planted those seeds... a few types of peppers and a few hydrangeas coming soon hopefully...
Oooh, what is that I spy in the garden as I place the peet trays on the table.... Must go look... The next round of daffy's and Iris's are starting to bloom. Gotta go take pictures.
I love Iris. Probably one of my favorite flowers on the planet. Majestic and gorgeous! This one is one of my favorites in my garden. If I kept the gardeners log that my mom keeps telling me to keep, I'd know the name of it...
So now I am back inside at 10:45... Sitting with a cup of baileys and coffee and eating one of my baked oatmeals... Cherie and Angie have been texting me since 9:39 (they listen well)... and Cherie (who also has a paper to write) has already called me on the way to go for a bike ride... My first words were "There is a STRICT moratorium on you contacting me today. I told you that!".... Yeah she laughed and kept talking... sigh.
Now I'm at an impasse as I sip my coffee... The book I need to reference to start the Economics paper is upstairs in my room... Next to the pile of clothes I need to fold... I am a MASTER procrastinator... The moment I walk away from this blog, I'll be folding clothes instead of writing the paper... and maybe I'll go for a 6 mile run too... so I can figure out how to be inspired enough to write about inequalities...
Pray for me...
