Linda has been away on a cruise for a little over a week now. She is having a great time vacationing in the Caribbean and will be back tomorrow. I miss her and will be happy to have her back in the house.
Plan? Well, there were a lot of things I planned to do in the little world of my home while she was a away on the cruise: windows to be caulked, a good cleaning throughout the house, boxes to be moved and a few repairs. There were also some tasks to do outside, in the big world. Of course I do have a slight problem with procrastination. Don’t do today what could be done tomorrow. After a couple of days I settle into my new routine… I’ll do it tomorrow… tomorrow… hmmm… tomorrow… a little folding of the hands… a resting of the eyes…
Crunch! Today is the day of salvation… at least it is if I am to do anything that was on my list of “things to do.” Where did the time go? To everything there is a season, says Ecclesiastes… a time hustle and a time to bustle… sigh… no time now to rest. It will be a busy day, I hope. Right after I…
Reality?! Who am I kidding. Most of these things won’t get done. You know, when she goes on these trips, things seldom ever get done as I planned. Subconciously I take my own little vacation. It doesn’t involve leaving the house. I just rest. Oh, today will still be busy but not that busy. At least things will be a little better than when she left. Ha! I just have to make sure I do the visible things that she will notice right away.
Will I get away with it. Maybe not… certainly won’t if she ever starts reading my blog. Tomorrow, when we see each other in the airport, all these thoughts will pass away as we get caught up in that special moment. A big hug and a sweet kiss. Ah, the telling of her adventures as we eat at our favourite restauraunt.
 The following day things will be back to normal… less procrastination and more doing. Our vacations over. 😉
Welcome home Linda!
Welcome home Linda to the reality of Joe’s bachelor world. You knew nothing would get done if you weren’t there to nag him. While the cat’s away the mouse will play. (lol)
You were missed Linda! Sounds like you had a good holiday too Joe. I’m proud of you. Us married guys have to stick together you know. Don’t give in too easily with the “to do” list. WE have to make them work for it! lol….. and make them think like it was their feminine persuation that encouraged us to get the stuff done. I hope Ruth doesn’t read this, I’ll be in the “doughouse”….. again. Women can be scarry when they get mad. Maybe you better make it look like you did something Joe. Just a suggestion…. or find a good hiding spot. I have a good “doughouse” if you’re interested. Together we stand!
