Procrastinating

I am procrastinating.  Yes, I have several things to do.  Yes, I made a list this morning.  Yes, I have deadlines.  Yet here I sit, trying to not do what I need to do.  I don't think it helps to know that other people also procrastinate as this seems to be a singular occupation.  The minute I allow someone else to participate I am no longer procrastinating.  I am then socially occupied.  I would rather procrastinate.

I did make a cup of tea and sat my computer by the window so I can see the warm sunshine.  It is February here in northern Illinois so an above-freezing day with sunshine is not to be ignored.  So I'm not.  Maybe that is a cause for procrastinating?

I do have a meeting tonight.  In one of my social moments I volunteered to fill a vacancy on my town's Library Board of Trustees.  Somehow I was elected to both the Board and then to the presidency of the board.  Maybe confronting such daunting obligations is causing today's procrastinating?

The weather watchers are warning of another major storm moving through the US today and tomorrow.  Where I live may have snow....or not.  I suspect there will be a lot of snow on my yard the moment I decide to run errands.  Maybe simply enjoying today is a good enough reason for procrastinating.

I am procrastinating.
