Booming Monday Realities and Teasers

“boom




It’s Monday after a great weekend. The temperature was perfect, my yard’s already cut and got a little change to live on. Saw Sherlock Holmes movie (almost hated it—but fell asleep) and Did You Hear About the Morgans (another napper for the crapper but better than the previous). The popcorn was great, warm and buttery. Of course, tonite is 24 time; nobody does it like Jack Bauer! Meanwhile, I have to survive through Monday to get there. I have the ability to be too focused sometimes. It’s a blessing and it’s a curse. Its an old side effect from hours of drawing in the zone where all other distractions disappear. Throw in a fully-laced iPOD and everything is gone.

Ever have those projects that linger and creep? It should have been simple or at least requiring a limited amount of time if clear direction was given and complete info provided. Well this one has none of those and it keeps growing with an imaginary deadline. Everybody knows that imaginary deadlines are dangerous cause they are due all of a sudden. LOL. Unfortunately, I have two of those.

Nonetheless, its all good. Rolling along on a Monday trying to pace the rest of the week with pleasure and work. We all have top 3 tasks and the rest just get done when they do. It’s been entertaining working downtown watching the city blow up the concrete for the new convention center going in outside the window. There is something exciting about dynamite exploding and the building shaking beneath us. Is that wrong? Nevermind…rhetorical. Shaking is better than crumbling; otherwise I might be in California.

Well back to it. This is my mental release for the beginning of the week. Its good to mix business and pleasure to keep the balance in the force. The weekend goes so fast….especially when its good. Soon it will be time for fun and sun on some sandy shore. That makes all the rest worth the trek to the carrot.

The horse never gets the carrot, does it?
