That’s right-March 3rd through March 9th was National Procrastination Week! What do _you_ tend to put off until the last minute, hoping it will go away/solve itself/be forgotten by others? ---

I’ll respond to this by the end of the week, promise. But seriously, the worst was when I used to have to go to the laundrymat. I would go shopping for clothes (which of course took as long as just going to the frigging laundrymat would have) to keep from having to go for just one more day. There are compromises with my current living situation but having in-house laundry is a huge quality of life improvement. ---

National Procrastination Week? _Week?_ How about N. P. Month? or N. P. Year? Wait, I got it: How about National Procrastination Lifetime? I’m working on it! People sometimes ask me: Have you been such a procrastinator all you life? And I tell them: “Not yet.” ---
