I Should But I Don't Want To!



I am sitting here looking at a list I made this past weekend of things I should do and get done this week. There are 19 different items and all I can think of is, “So what if I don’t do it today?”



The world won’t come to an end if (#8) I don’t replant the plants today or plant the rest of the seeds I have. I suppose I could schedule my ultrasound (#5) for next Thursday but the doc didn’t make it sound as urgent and I am not sure if I need one but, then again, with the problems I am having with my legs maybe I should.



I, also, have to reschedule my appointment with my heart doctor (#3) that I had to cancel as it was on the same day that we were going to see “Anything Goes” plus make an appointment with my eye doctor (#19) for my yearly exam plus set up an appointment (#4) for new glasses but that means calling my insurance company and finding a company near me (that isn’t on my list YET!)



Then I have numbers 10, 11 and 12 all having to do with my Leap Year birthday party but that is 9 months away so it isn’t an immediate thing yet I know February will be here before I know it plus I have to get some idea how many people are coming to the 2 different events, particularly out-of-towners but will they even know now?



HA! I can scratch off #1 as I did that yesterday by going to the dentist! And then there are #s 13 and 14 which involves also calling the insurance company and getting new dermatologist and urologist doctors and then calling them to set up appointments. Altogether that are 5 insurance call plus 5 doctor calls and I am not really in the mood to deal with the phone today besides none are a life or death situation--at least today. Also after doing that I will have to arrange for rides (#16) to all of them so if I don’t make those calls today I won’t have to make the other calls!



#12 is to figure out what I did on YouTube that I made my videos private and how to undo it plus I keep putting (#2) delete some of my videos every week and still haven’t done it but then the Internet is still running in spite og it!



#15 is to get birthday cards ready for June, #17 is to pay bills, #18 make the lists for Winn Dixie and Dollar Tree for Thursday plus ‘over the counter items’. I, also, have to call (#6) in some prescription refills and speak to Grant (#7) regarding the great transportation he arranged for me last week.



The world, my world, won’t come to an end if I don’t do any of the above today as Scarlett said “Tomorrow is another day” and being retired I do have tomorrow and if I don’t it won’t make a difference whether I do any of those things or not.



Okay I am off to the beach--will do the list tomorrow--I just put that on the list!

The window it is busted and the rain is coming in
If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
And we don't need a window on such a lovely day
Manana, manana, manana is soon enough for me
