For some reason I’ve gotten myself into a situation where I’m facing a whole bunch of deadlines.
- Complete the three-book proposal for my agent before tomorrow
- Clean my house (AARGH!) before my sister arrives on September 27th.
- Paint the garage door before October 1st (double-AARGH).
- Find someone who can sharpen the blades to my reel-type mower (or teach me how to do it myself) before … well, soon.
- Complete a rough draft of my newest Biscuit McKee mystery before November 15th.
I know I’ve brought these on myself. Several of them could have been over and done with already if I’d just DO something (like start the vacuum cleaner).
I’ll get number 1 done as soon as I stop typing this blog post. But the rest of them? Guess I can put them off a little while longer.
Self discipline. This week it just ain’t happening around this house.
I’m going to go make myself a Blue Bell Ice Cream milkshake.
BEEattitude for Day #589:
Blessed are those who work as diligently as bees. Blessed are those, also, who flutter as diligently as butterflies, for both shall be content.

At least you have your priorities!!! Sounds like a great list ... books (Biscuit McKee) - yea! Garage door (darn cops - still love the 'door faces'). And a push mower - those are so neat - had the first migraine I've had in ages last night so I've postponed my 'twin week-end' for a couple of days ... drat! I'll be 'fat & sassy' again soon. Happy (early) Labor Day! Hugs from humid Houston!
I forgot to add my editing deadlines to the list -- I specialize in doctoral dissertations, and have a big one I'm working on So that goes in as number 2.
Sorry about the migraine, Petie -- I've read some interesting "cures" for migraines - but most of them sound outlandish.
Doesn't your local hardware store sharpen any kind of lawn mower blades? I did find this site on how to DIY (if you have time): http://www.reelmowers.info/
I'm looking forward to your new books, esp Biscuit!

Cathy, thanks for the link. I looked it over. Trouble is, it mentioned the "sharpening kit." Don't have one. Guess I'll have to go looking!
The only 'outlandish' cure is one not shared!! I slept on this one and am feeling better this afternoon. But anything that YOU believe will work, I will certainly listen to!!!
