It's Just Irritating

 Since Monday, I have been putting off doing things. Didn't get the lawn mowed - put that off for now. The Oldest Son showed up Monday as planned, to go change over the title on the car, etc. Turns out that there is an abandonment claim now on the title. I now have to call the MVD Abandoned Vehicle department to figure out what needs to be done to get it removed. My guess is, when the car was found, it was in a parking lot, then towed by private to some salvage lot. There, they put in a claim based on the VIN that it was abandoned. Which would explain why the police never called my Son... they had no idea it was recovered. The Insurance found the car, I'm guessing by the VIN, and then took the car to the repair facility, where I drove it home from. It is physically in my driveway - how can it be abandoned?!? So that phone call I have been putting off for a couple days... mostly because I get so angry about the whole situation.

I've also been putting off doing the taxes this year. I finally talked the Wife into letting me do them this year, electronically, with one of the programs out there. For many years, she would always wait til the last minute, then figure out by hand the medical costs, etc, and fill the forms by hand, beating the midnight mailed deadline by minutes some years. I need to get that done... otherwise, I am just as bad as her procrastinating to the last minute. I know we don't owe, but still....

Still haven't heard from the Company. Another put off ....

I haven't been able to sleep at all tonight. No idea why. I took some over the counter sleep aid pills but haven't felt sleepy at all. No since trying to bed down now, as I try to get up in the next 2-3 hours as a rule anyways. Putting off another night of sleep....

Maybe something better tomorrow - or later today, rather....

I'll Do It Tomorrow

 Today is already feeling like one of those days. You know, where you know you should spend the time getting things done that need to get done, but you just want to put it off. I have several 'little' projects I want to complete, and as I lay in bed last night before falling asleep, I was doing my best to talk myself into getting these few things done today. Not that they are important, but would be helpful, and nice.

Yardwork. The never ending chore (CURSE!) needs to be completed. Though not necessarily needing mowed, but the weeds need to be pulled. It seems half the yard is weeds, and they grow faster than any of the grass. Especially with the day of rain we got early this week. Usually the Wife does the weed pulling. But there are other things that need to be done, like trimming up around her flowers, getting the grass out of the cracks (lines) of the sidewalk and driveway. And this is probably the best weather to do it, as you know in a couple months when it is 90-100 there is no chance you will find us out there doing this kind of work.

I need to work in the family office room as well. My desk is starting to get a little cluttered, and could use some straightening. I have some boxes that have kind of gotten set off to the side from Christmas packages, that need to be emptied of whatever I have set in them (to get off my desk) and then taken out. At some point I need to get some breakfast in me as well. I just took my meds, and I know within the hour my stomach will be issuing loud alarms that it needs sustenance. That, and the waves of nausea that will be right behind it. As long as I eat something, it is fine. In fact, kinda looking forward to RM bringing by some potato salad she made yesterday.

Guess I should close this off and force myself to get started on those things I should not put off til tomorrow....
