That is have my grass in my garden cut. I tried to get my lawn mower through it and it is too high. I have got exhausted cutting it with scissors and sheers. I gave up and called a professional gardener and asked if he could come today please.
I had a one month trip overseas and then every day since has been rainy. The gardener hasn't had much work with all this rain and today it is dry. I am delighted that he is cutting my grass today and doing an excellent job. Another gardener had been meant to come on Monday and then on Friday last week but he canceled all his work due to the rain.
The gardener agreed it just has to be done today and with more bad weather expected I can't wait any longer.
Have you ever known you had to do something today and couldn't wait another day?
Did you ever leave something for a reason and then regret it?

I think it is good to have lawn mower if possible to cut the grass. As you cannot have lawn mower, most probably you will have to cut the grass yourselves. I think most probably due to bad weather it is good think to wait for couple of days and then cut the grass. Sometimes we have to wait for good things in our lives.

Hi Maxine,
There´s no way you could have cut your lawn and be away from home at the same time. You can take care beforehand of some things (such as having someone taking care of your dogs) but there´s always some disarray when you come back. It´s a good idea to get help if you cannot do it. I have been living alone for decades but now, as you know, I have Leticia to help me because I cannot do all I used to.

I had to maw the lawn on my house too, a week or two ago, but I didn´t, now it is too high too, usualy, I like to work in the house, but working in the garden is not something that appeal to me, but, I will have it cut tomorrow.
When I have something that urges me, I usually start first thing in the morning, if I leave for other moment, I know that maybe, I will not do it at all.

i have so much to do at work and sometimes i cannot finish them because besides that they are a lot, i also can not focus because of so much problems and confusions about a lot of things and that it stresses me out.
there has been a lot of times when i would tell myself, "oh i'll do this tomorrow" but then regret it because i wouldn't finish them.
it is always better to do things ahead of time. but sometimes i also never learn. just so many things bothering me lately

My father is much interested in gardening and he used to look after the lawn. He used to cut them by himself. At first he needs an help from the Gardner becuase he don't know how to look after lawn but later he studies it and now he doesn't need anyone's help.

I had a tough time trying to maintain my terrace lawn which had weeds that could not be eradicated despite engaging labourers to manually uproot them but this year I have a surprise in store. I do not see any weeds and the lawn has taken over. I put up a topic here on how only tenacity pays. I have already uploaded an image of this lawn under that topic.
And as for putting off chores I do that only if I can live without them.

Yes it is one of my bad habits to put work of and id does me no good. Actually I gotta do the lawn mowing too and badly. Because if it gets any bigger it might be too big to cut using my lawn mower. Last year my parents hired a pro to rearrange our yard, since we felt that it was looking kinda boring.

I have a lot of things I want to do today almost everyday.But the problem is that sometimes I know I had to do it today,but at last procrastination happens.That feeling is so terrible!
Regret is a kind of negative emotions which so many things can cause.There are times that I can't finish my reading plans.Sometimes it's because of the heavy task I set for myself and limited time,but it can also be related to my laziness sometimes.Finishing something in plan is really encouraging,while procrastination can make me feel so frustrated.
So glad to hear that you've finished one thing you had to do today.It also encourages me to finish my review of the courses I've learned today.This is already in my plan this afternoon.Hope I can finish it before midnight.
