“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 826 (Sunday) – productive procrastination

Another beautiful weather day. Imagine if it could stay like this all the time -- sunny, breezy, temperature in the high 70s with sunrise around 5:00 am and sunset at nearly 8:30 pm. Sigh.

The drive to dance class took place with the roof open, sunglasses on, and radio playing. Dance was fun, but now we are done until September. There are other teachers with summer classes that might be good to check out. Or not. Relaxing sounds pretty good.

The usual Sunday visit to the farm stand happened after class.  I wandered aimlessly looking at the plants and all the colors, but didn’t get anything. Unfortunately, this week I had no plan for where to put more flowers and the lack of a plan was crippling. The selection can be overwhelming when not looking for something specific. But it’s okay. I can go back there anytime. 

There was a ripple effect from the non-purchase of flowers. It meant there was no need to be digging today, which allowed time and energy to trim the rhododendron. It had begun sprawling again and was covering windows, hanging over the lawn, and crowding the neighbor plants. It’s trimmed now. While trimming, I realized that handling that task was really a delaying tactic to avoid mowing. At least it was a productive procrastination effort.

The game of “should I water the flowers or should I not” played in the background. After hearing it was going to rain the watering was skipped, but so far, not a single drop has fallen.

In exciting news of other adulting tasks, grocery shopping was done and the produce bin is restocked with salad ingredients. A roast chicken was bought  and there is fresh broth for Canine Overlord Winston’s food. It’s the three tablespoon solution that gets him to eat his food, so it’s worth the hours of a chicken carcass simmering on the stove.
