I have lots of work to do, but it’s raining and cold and I don’t wanna. Therefore, I’m here, and also writing thank-you holiday notes, randomly tidying small areas of the house, and defrosting lentils for my lovely wife’s lunch. And you? ---

Hurt my back. Sleeping! Argh! Sucks so much. Also grey, cold and rainy here. Have my robe on over my clothes, cause I was chill. Dinner is coming out of the freezer for sure. I have a LOT of nothing left to do today. I’ll get to it in a little while, I swear! ---

I’m doing some actual work today (don’t tell!), but in addition to surfing the Dope I’ve been pissing away time on music-related stuff, watching my dog on the local [Dogtopia](https://www.dogtopia.com/) webcam, and getting myself snacks (just now: an [instant pancake cup](https://www.auntjemima.com/products/pancake_on_the_go/buttermilk_and_maple_on_the_go) and two Ghiradelli peppermint bark squares). I’ll stop procrastinating in a couple of hours, when it will be time to pick the dog up, hit the McDonald’s drive-through, then settle on the couch for a few episodes of _Shameless_ (which I just started watching). ---

I have been wanting to update my Death Pool list all day, but only managed to read the other participants ideas. Some are quite good. Perhaps I will update it tomorrow, there is still time. Perhaps I will just let it stand as it is. Might still get some points… Now I wonder if I should get up, walk to the fridge and get a beer. Or later. ---

Therefore, I’m here, and also writing thank-you holiday notes, randomly tidying small areas of the house, and defrosting lentils for my lovely wife’s lunch. I wouldn’t call that procrastinating as such, more a change of priorities 😉 ---

I’m frittering away my time on this computer. Keep in mind, you’re not really procrastinating if you never intended to do the job at all. ---

Hate-reading a book. Seriously, it’s awful. I only have myself to blame. It was bad from the beginning. I think reading further has just become my way of punishing myself for reading further, in a recursive loop of misery. ---

It’s wet outside. I’m working periodically and trying to do some cleaning. It would go quicker if I checked in here less often. ---

Crap weather here, too. I’m procrastinating practicing French, probably because after 6 months of continuous study, I suck at it. So I’m procrastinating by watching The Godfather, a film I’ve managed to procrastinate viewing until now. I did work this morning because I had to. I plan to procrastinate exquisitely for the whole long weekend, starting tomorrow night. ---

Crap weather here too. But I’m procrastinating about all the things I have to do indoors. ---
