These all over the place days are still not the norm for me, but they are becoming a bit more frequent. Not a good thing, though eventually everything is getting done.<br /><br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-71609413619503367392012-09-10T13:57:57.714-04:002012-09-10T13:57:57.714-04:00This is exactly why my sewing room is still a mess...This is exactly why my sewing room is still a mess!

Like you, I love my leisurely breakfasts. Glad you decided to spend the afternoon relaxing on the deck. That other stuff can wait.

Regroup and appreciate your life. It's a very good thing.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words, I love hearing them now and then.<br /><br />Now, you go take a break on the patio.<br />:-)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-61697761190605098072012-09-01T16:31:48.230-04:002012-09-01T16:31:48.230-04:00I start all 7 days that way, if it isn't too c...I start all 7 days that way, if it isn't too cold or raining.

Is that I don't give myself the little -restructuring- breaks that I did way back when. Those were the times when I always made minor course corrections, and I do not do that now! Revelation times three!!! You know Jo, I think I may have to start giving myself some 5 minute outside breaks, now that theoretically it will be below 100 here in Tucson since September has started. It will also give me a chance to desensitize myself from the patio being where the Africanized bee attacks happened. I love your writing, and your humor slays me, but you also make me think and that is why I love your stuff! (And why can't you or I seem to get Roomy/Hubby to pick up after themselves?

I have an advantage over you--I just don't plan to do it in the first place. I swear dust is half an inch thick on the shelves in the bedroom.
