break time!

It is not
yet noon,
and I have:
• written and sent off a review of a journal manuscript!
• changed the bed!
• started the laundry!
• vacuumed the whole house!
• cleaned the kitchen floor!
• cleaned the downstairs bathroom!
• begun procrastinating on the next article that's due!



The first day of a week-long break (and after returning from three trips in three weeks) suggests, seductively, endless time. Endless.

The water in the Portage right now is still, creating a late fall day mirror world of Houghton, trees, and the boat that goes out to Isle Royale. I think I could sit in this chair on the porch for the next week, drifting -- or at least continuing to procrastinate calmly.
