unfinished tasks
Sunday, July 27th, 2014 10:43 pmSo tired. There's always stuff to do.
I consider writing about various things, but then decide I don't want to, as it's nothing important nor uplifting.
There are many piles of unfinished tasks sitting around the house. Each of them the result of having started doing something which I didn't have time to finish. So I left the relevant items there, intending to continue the next day or the next weekend. But then other things take precedence, and the old stuff gets left sitting there for weeks, for months.
Sometimes I even forget what it was I was doing.. like this box of photographs. I think I wanted to scan them. But why did I drag the box out of the closet instead of leaving it there until I was ready to scan them? Maybe I was searching for a particular photo? Yes, that's right... but I don't remember what I was searching for or why. I suppose I should put the box back away. But now it bugs me that I was searching for something and don't remember what. Maybe I had even found whatever it was?
Sometimes I leave stuff lying around as I can't decide what to do with it. Like that seat cushion. Too good to throw away. Should I give it to the dogs, or not? Should I put it in the attic?
(attic? but rats... spiders... roof leak... trees... rusty shed...)
And then there are the items on my to-do lists which I haven't even started doing, or for which there's no tell-tale evidence left behind other than cryptic notes on pieces of paper here by my computer.
