I know, I know, it's a total writer's cliche, but I procrastinated when I really should have been writing this SharePost. I played Lord of the Rings Online for half an hour, using the excuse that since my son and husband were watching tv, I wouldn't be able to concentrate anyway. When the tv went off, I stared at the screen for thirty seconds, and then remembered that I really needed to put a load of laundry in. Granted, I really did need to do laundry, but for some reason that didn't occur to me when I was playing LOTRO.
It's amazing how when you're procrastinating, all of a sudden the other things that you've been putting off get prioritized really high. “I can't believe that I haven't gotten around to mixing the coyote urine,” I said to myself virtuously a few minutes ago. (Yes, I said coyote urine. If you live somewhere that we do, where deer get really hungry in the summer due to lack of rain and you happen to have some tasty plants, you probably know what I mean. The only thing I've found that works is coyote urine. The deer think that a coyote's marked the territory, so they leave it alone.)
