Hi, I'd like to introduce you to procrastination, she's a good friend of mine. Or perhaps I should call her by her middle name, distraction. It is chilly in the house, despite it being 80 some degrees out. I knew that I needed a cup of coffee not only to get focused again, but to help me with my shivering. I have accomplished a lot so far, but not so much with my writing (no, not on mylot, lots here think I"m referring to mylot when I talk about word count. ) Anyway, this post has been brought to you by Great Value Brand Triple Chocolate Coffee and International Delight Sugar Free White Chocolate Mocha Creamer. Or, well, I wish. It would be nice to get sponsors, wouldn't it? Alright, alright, I'm going!

Youtube has made it difficult to even get monetized. But I wouldn't mind being sponsored by some of the companies I've seen youtubers get sponsored by. Oh, good! Work has been steady then? Up here, a friend's brother-in-law is just now getting steady work again. He does construction, and I think some plumbing.

@thislittlepennyearns You think you'll get all of that work done before May 12th? It'll be here before you know it. FB jail is so ridiculous and biased.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I'm in FB jail or you'd be seeing pictures. However our business does have a FB page. I'm not sure I can share that with you here, or I have to PM the link to you. But yeah we just finished a house that's going on the market next month. We replaced the siding, tore up and redid the front porch and painted the entire outside and garage. The pig I posted pictures of earlier this week is the pet at he house. We finished the house today. Tomorrow we are looking at another BIG project, tear out all floor and replace them, replace all the sinks in the house, rebuild the kitchen island and relocate the sink to it. Paint the entire interior. It's probably a $10,000 job. But starting the 12th of May we have to take 3 weeks off becaue Chris is having surgery.

I’ve only got the clothes some what done today. Two loads washed one load still drying. I did get the tube of clothes for the kids down one hitting me in the head and learning I need to restock the big kids

@ShyBear88 Oh, I can believe it. It's frustrating when one or more of those appliances don't work. I've had to wash by hand when the washer conked out.

Oh, I've met Procrastination and Distraction . . . . I thought they were twins . I am having tea right now. It's strange . . . it's very warm here too (91F) yet I am in the hot drink mood too. Cheers! I should be doing more right now too, but I'm just not .

@much2say Certainly not. Case in point, I could eat pumpkin at any time of the year. Same with anything with apples an cinnamon.

That's how it goes for me, to be honest! In winter I want popsicles and ice-cream, in summer I want soups and stews and hot coffee. I don't understand it.

@CarolDM I do love rain. It's relaxing to just watch it pour down.

I know procrastination very well! Hopefully the coffee will help you with your writing and against shivering! I need to try that kind of coffee, sounds tasty. I rarely brew it anymore though, just use instant espresso

@MommyOfEli2013 I bet you can get it in the grounds. I never look for coffee grounds even though I have the cup that I can use to make coffee with the grounds.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I will have to try it sometime (if it is in grounds anyway...don't have the maker for the cups). I may try some sugar free creamer and see if I like it.

I get distracted easily, which is a huge issue for me. I might grab my phone to do something but could end up scrolling instagram.

I think he'd have some good competition with my uncle. Tasks as simple as getting dressed to go run errands he will wait until the last possible moment. It drives the rest of us nutty.
