This is me. I mean, I didn’t write this, I am reblogging it. Ann of GG wrote it. But… it’s me. Only I’m sure that my procrastination is much worse.

(Or: My Mind Is A Scary Place)


I know I need to do something about the little rug on my kitchen floor.

Hmmm…


I notice it for days. In fact, I’ve been noticing it since before the last time a friend was here (a few weeks ago?). I was quite embarrassed because some food was dropped by my guest and I said to discard it because the rug was not clean. In fact, it was a MESS!

      Funny thing, the day after reblogging this, I actually vacuumed my kitchen! I had to — the glass insert on a thermal carafe exploded all over the place.
