A Day for Errands

Posted on October 15, 2019October 16, 2019 by Pat Mullaly

I leave for Naples on Thursday…A golf trip… much to do

The trip to Naples was planned months ago. I’ve been putting off thinking about it. Too much to do between now and then. But! It’s only two days away.

How quickly time passes when you are unconscious. Minutes take forever to pass, days, months and years just fly by. It’s a phenom I don’t pretend to understand.

Do you?

This morning I had my day planned — sort of. Then bits and pieces of reality entered my day. I was cleaning a small tool and realized using a vacuum on it would make the task go so much faster… so I got out the vacuum and realized the old vacuum with its tiny hose would work more efficiently… so I had to dig that out of the cellar… cleaned the tool, put the vacuum away, then noticed the rug in the TV room. It desperately needed to be hoovered… (that’s old fashioned for vacuumed) so I did that… then I decided to trim the hosta plants in the front garden… water the plants… rearrange the chairs on the back deck… rearrange a just washed wool sweater in the sun on the back deck where it might dry quickly… then to the bank for cash… to Jiffy Lube for an oil change… and finally, here I am, jotting a few thoughts down and five hours have gone by.

Just remembered to take the wool sweater in … it will rain tonight and all the drying time would for naught.

Watcha lookin for?
