I really can't

I can't get up and start to clean up the back room. I seriously can't. I've been gone for a couple of hours today and Fred cat needs his nap time- stretched out on my leg. Walking Buddy and I went downtown today. My little downtown is known for its antique and junk shops- all housed in historic buildings. We snooped and walked, laughed and just played tourists. One shop was going out of business. I snagged a wrought iron 3 shelf piece for half off. That now sits on my front porch. We had drinks and shared silly Rueben eggrolls in the Irish pub before we headed home. Now I'm tired but I need to get busy at some major re-working- the stuff in the back room will go into rolling tubs. The wooden shelves that was in the back room will go into the kitchen. Yawn! Add a Fred purr to that.

Fred the cat needs to nap on your leg so obviously you shouldn't move. Glad that you had a good time when you were out.

The best part about cleaning anything up is that it will still be there if you decide you don't want to do it right now... And, heaven forbid, if something happens, somebody else will have to clean it up.

@AmbiePam It was fun and thanks. I love the displays the shops put out. One shop had carts filled with old wooden handled tools- love saws and pliers and such.

@snowy22315 Thanks. I'm never too old for an adventure. Buddy's car is bigger than mine so we drove home with the shelving gizmo in the back seat. We picked up Moxe dog from the babysitter- she rode in the front on the floor, in front of me.

If you don't do it today, it will all be there waiting for you in the morning.

@JudyEv Exactly. I told a couple of dirty bowls that before I went to bed.

@sallypup Now they've got to sit all night feeling grubby and unloved.

Many times I am bored and have things to do but not the inclination to do them. I think it's because I get little sleep and am tired all the time.

Thanks @MarieCoyle It was fun. The downtown in this little city is quite fun to pal around in. There's even an art gallery.
