Taking Out the Trash
This morning is trash day. I need to get my trash out in about nine minutes, so this will be quick.
I’m facing a day of Have-tos… a long list of things to do, none of which are particularly fun, and none of which can be put off. Halloween is tomorrow, and I still have three costumes to finish (mine isn’t even started!), along with trash, vacuuming, paper grading, and numerous other feats of endurance that will keep me moving all day long.
I could fret, but I won’t. Without this list of things to do, what would happen? Do I seriously fool myself that I would spend all day writing? No, I know myself too well for that. I’d probably lie around all day, watching crappy tv shows (are there any which aren’t crappy?), or reading (and even I can’t do that all day), or just being bored and antsy because I have nothing to do.
And at the end of that day, I’d just look over my world and think, well, darn, I could have accomplished something, and I didn’t!
So here’s to taking out the trash! Be sure to mark some of those have-tos off YOUR list today. You’ll feel better for it!
And here, from the title, I thought you were talking about the election
