Which Do You Do?!?

. . . The Day Looms Large Ahead Of You -- What Are You Going To Do?!?!?!?

You know that funky piece of plastic and wires is sitting in the corner -- mocking you . . .

Phone is definitely not to color or scale, or any other resemblance of any phone located in the house!!

So, how do you approach the day?

You bound out of bed as soon as the alarm rings, or the telephone rings, or the dogs bark -- whichever comes first;
You stagger out of bed when you realize the day is slipping away and you're getting anything accomplished;
You slide out of bed because your stomach is making some serious "Feed Me, Seymour" sounds that are only getting louder; or
You actually are going to tackle the house filled with cat hair, dog hair, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, dusting tasks and much, much, more.

Okay, you're out of bed -- still half asleep but, . . . mostly vertical. You "know" that a phone call is expected today -- you also know that chances are 30% / 70% on a good day that it will happen, and you wouldn't make book with any Vegas businessman with those odds . . . not good odds in my favor! So, the question arises again, how do you approach the day?

Do you work around the house all day, hoping and praying for the phone to ring, so you can act all surprised that it did?;
Do you approach your day like any other day that work needs to be done -- if errands are called for -- you jump in the car and run them without a second thought?;
Do you do everything possible within the confines of the house, hoping the call comes in before you have to run errands, often dallying on some to make them last a little longer than usual?; or
Do you do what needs to be done without a thought to the telephone, make out a list of errand items, grab the cell phone (just in case) and head out for errands when the time is right?

Aside from housework, I have my office work that I have slacked on, my s.o.'s office work that I have slacked on, several deadlines that I missed with editors (that I was able to get extensions due to my car accident and injuries). Just now, I fell asleep in my desk chair -- just **poof** -- off to dreamland.

I know -- logically --- what I NEED to do to ready the house for the weekend. I also know -- logically (and sentimentially) -- what I WANT to do today. I think I'll "compromise" and think about it for a while . . . I'm going to take a nice, cozy cat-nap in a sunbeam and work out all the details for the rest of the day -- sounds like a plan, 'eh???
