First things first

Hello my friends! I am awfully sorry for not fulfilling my promise to log in here and address your comments and views. I had more important things to do and I have to prioritize my activities. As I mentioned in my previous discussions, the school is having their Intramurals and we part-timers, have no duty until September 1st. Yesterday, I did not bring my son to the doctor because he felt better with the antibiotics and tablet for the influenza. His appetite is still good, but he had nasal congestion and his cough was becoming productive. Instead of accompanying him to the doctor, I assisted him in sending his documents to a certain office in the capital city for approval. It rained so hard but we had our umbrella. This morning, I also made the grades of 3 groups of students that I handled since the 2nd week of August. It was difficult to do this because of some interruptions like bathing the dogs, cooking rice, and of course, watching television . Now, all systems go. I have no more school requirements to do. My laboratory result last Wednesday was also within my normal range. I hope to be here until the time I will go to sleep. Do you procrastinate or do you do first things first? The picture is the paperworks I finished this morning at 9:45, then I also bathed 2 dogs; now, I am seated with the net book on my lap.

@SIMPLYD it is always good to be ahead of time rather than be late, right?

I think we are all guilty of procrastinating though some just learned from not doing it anymore. I do the same sometimes when I'm feeling lazy. But as much as I can I don't want to delay any thing I have already planned to do.

yes indeed, delaying a job or work for a few hours is i think natural for us, but procrastinating until everything piles up, i think is not good

@ridingbet Haha. It reads like that doesn't it? But I actually meant that I don't procrastinate so much now.

I'm glad your lab results are normal and I pray your son will be fully well. I hate procrastination, I want all works done as early as much as I could.

There are lots of paperwork for you. I tried to do first things first, but I still procrastinate sometimes, especially when there are too many things to do and I am too tired, I might choose to take a rest first. Taking good rest is still more important, uh? Hope your son will be fine very soon.

I procrastinate really bad. I have papers that are due for me to renew at the assistance office for medical coverage and they are due on the 29th. I have had them since the beginning of August so I am going to sit and do them after I get done commenting on this post. Glad to hear the lab results were within a normal range. Now that you are free from School duties until September 1st you might have more time to be active here yay!!

How many times should a pet owner bathe a dog? I haven't bathe mine since the rainy season started specially the passing of my puppy. Anyways, I hope your son is feeling better now than before. It's hard to get sick when your at works, it really is. How did he got sick anyways?
