The Art of Procrastination

Procrastination. Something everyone does despite how much they try. Some of the more experienced procrastinators use getting a cup of tea, using the bathroom or having conversations with family as ways of getting around the said work. Others use the procrastinated subject as incentive to get everything else completed - it is amazing how much fun dishes, grocery shopping or finances can be in comparison to that dreaded task. Others just blatantly do whatever else, leaving the task until the VERY last second.

The last week I have been building my resume in order to get a job. It was a very challenging experience overall, mostly because I have very little as far as actual paying jobs because I've done SO MUCH volunteer work. Anyway, it's the end of the "work" week and it is finally complete. Next step? Start applying to jobs in the local area.

Anyway, in procrastinating this week I:

-Did the week's worth of grocery shopping, which was also the first one of the new year, so it involved a LOT of restocking... Blah.... And I always "forget" to bring someone, so it takes me a while.

-Drove Ev to school 2 different days.

-Did random errands for Mother, including mailing a bunch of packages

-Cooked more meals and baked stuff too...

-That being said, the thing I did most to procrastinate was paint/write.

One of my favorite verses - and one that I need to practice more.

The moon was super bright the last two nights that it shone in my bedroom window. Which was my inspiration for this one. 

My bedroom temperature averages around 41 degrees. I sleep with 7-8 blankets including two down blankets, so I stay nice and toasty while I'm sleeping, but any additional time I spend out there is always freezing. But that is where my desk is and where I get privacy, so I brave the cold to paint. Hot chocolate always helps! 

So this is my art of procrastination...
