Procrastination

Still not decorated! 

Why is this such a drag?

Worse than usual. 

I think the task is too big.

Organize the decorations.

Figure out this house's layout.

Re-label boxes. 

I said probably Thursday, but I wanted to get it started yesterday. Nope ... and I had time. And today I'm hiking all morning, virtual doc visit regarding hormones this afternoon. I won't even come close to starting until 2 o'clock. Geez. 

But ... plants watered (phew) and MOST of the Christmas shopping is finished. I went to stores and prayed to the shopping gods. I found some nice things, all exchangeable with gift receipts. 

Costco run for the beef tenderloin ($$$, but will feed us for a couple of meals).

Met my son for a pizza lunch. We tried to go healthy, but the place was packed with a wait -- pizza for the win. 

Not a bad day -- just wish I had put a little time into decorating. It's probably not a big deal once I start, but I'm in some strange frozen-land getting going on this. The dread is REAL and BIG -- and probably way overblown in my head. I've even considered not decorating. I have the outside finished, tree up, stockings up. Could this be enough? But then I'll be in the same spot next year. Taking one for my FS.

I'm hiking with one of ladies from my Tuesday group. I don't know her well, but she wants to hike more ahead of a big outdoor trip in January. It'll be good company and motivation to get out in the cold. 

I've been barely keeping commitments to myself (hiking, running, decorating) -- huge effort, lots of procrastination. I would've been tempted to change it up today too -- but now I have accountability. 

I'm also glad I reached out -- I like her. We're going to her Christmas party on Saturday. Time to get to know her a little better. 

Here's my latest winter rock ... sheep on the right. I'm in my craft room this morning to paint another rock, but I'm out of ideas. Hello, Google. 

(Lord, I will seriously do ANYTHING to not start the decoration boxes!!!!!)

Hope your week is going well. Tomorrow's post will be how I decorated and it looks lovely and it was easy, and, and, and. You heard it here today. Can it be done? Will it be done? Stay tuned. Later gators.
