If I Wait......

Will it go away

I just did something ironic and realized I had as I was walking to my office to sit down at the computer to write something here. I had just come upon an article on procrastination, how it impacts depression and techniques to overcome it. I closed my laptop, still on the article, left it on the kitchen table and walked to my office, thinking I'll read that later. 

I have become the queen of procrastinating. I hold reign over it, or rather it holds reign over me. I was never one to put things off, I came into it late in life and decided to excel. Day after day goes by, what I tell myself I'm going to do, I don't. Occasionally I shock myself, like making pickles, but usually it comes down to just the basics. I'm back on medication but it isn't helping me. I think I should read the article.

We had some rain yesterday, probably only one half inch, but we sure needed it. And more. I'm going to make pesto, no procrastination. My basil plants need to be cut back. I'll freeze most of what I make, I still have basil cubes from last year which is what I do at the end of the season when I strip the plants. August already, that went fast.

I planted a squash I'm not familiar with and cannot find the name stick. It is a bland thing, really no flavor with a skin that is eatable when cooked. I stuffed a couple last evening with Italian sausage, farro, tomato and feta. I sprinkled the squash with some smoked paprika. It helped. I have enough for another meal, which was the plan.

I'm off to pick basil, make pesto and then stop procrastinating over reading about procrastination.
