Don't Ask me how to avoid Distractions.

Easily Distracted.

I got up at 4 am thinking I would write on my newest book "Mirror, Mirror, Who's the Deadest of Them All", but I paused to check my email and then I checked the online auction for childhood diabetes. http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Home.taf

Since I was in the office, I noticed a couple of stacks of unopened mail. And speaking of unopened mail--does anyone else have a mound of mail? By the time, I'd finished sorting I had ½ of a 30-gallon trash bag filled, plus instead of two stacks, I now have 5 stacks that need tending to.

Of course, after sorting some of my paperwork, I had to check out my multi-bank accounts. Also in the stacks of mail were several books. I don't usually have the time to even open one of these magazines, but today I did. I even managed to leaf all the way through two of them. AARP of course and another one that had articles about exercise.

This sent me off to the bathroom to step on my scales. Up 7 pounds. How in the world did that happen? I know. I have Fork and Mouth disease. Let's see what am I suppose to do about that? Oh yeah…Exercise.

Off I skip to my exercise room. I hula-hoop, skip rope, ride my bucking body shaper machine, close my eyes and go to the Alps on my ski machine and finish with the twisting disc. I promised Richard, I'd spend a couple of hours with him later. Richard Simmons, that is. I also promised Rachel, I'd spend an hour with her or maybe I'd visit Shay and we'd belly dance together. This idea sends me back to my computer.

I look at my Wanton Laptop. I'm also watching TV. New Kids on the Block on the Today Show. Where's my MP3 player. I really need to download their songs on there. Instead of my MP3 player, I find a stack of photos that I've been planning to scan onto the computer. That would really reduce some clutter and speaking of clutter. I should go through my knick-knacks and find some to give away. I've really been planning that. The sun is shinning on my laptop as I type this. I turn and look out the window, the grass is so high…

Tomorrow I will get up, really, early (maybe 4 am) and work on my book.
