Another day stolen...

The stock has finally been ordered - although I have to admit to feeling a bit bereft now that I can now longer idle away an entire morning researching potential stock.

The order will take at least three days to dispatch which means that I have three days to finally get on with some serious writing - so the first thing I did was to go for a walk. Walking is a great way of thinking about what to write without actually having to do it. Eventually I came home and sat at the computer so that I could record all the new stuff i had come up with while out walking - but first I had to make a sandwich (I always think better while masticating) and then I had to make a cup of tea - if I hadn't given up now would have been a perfect time to have a cigarette, which would have put a nice full stop on the end of my lunchtime dawdling, but instead I started on a packet of crisp......

Let me cut this pathetic tale of time-wasting and procrastination short - my day ended up something like this: woke, walked, ate, drank tea, ate, dusted, drank coffee, went to the loo, cleaned the bathroom, drank tea with half a packet of biscuits I hate, cleaned keyboard with cotton buds, stared at neighbour cleaning his car while waiting for kettle to boil, drank tea, googled stretching exercises - did stretching exercises, let mind wander to what I could make for dinner, started making dinner - it just seemed too late to start anything new at this point so I gave up writing for the day. Tomorrow I will definitely get up early and make a fresh start with the writing.....
