Shoulda! Coulda! Woulda!

Well it’s true, every word of it.

It’s like writing these stories.

I’d procrastinate, when I get around to it! Don’t laugh! Just ask my wife!

I know I shoulda, and I know I coulda, and I really woulda, but I got playing around on the computer/had to mow the lawn/toe-nails needed cutting/shopping had to be done/tutoring took priority/had a class to attend. There are always very good reasons why it hasn’t happened ‘yet’.

And I definitely will do it, got it scheduled here somewhere. I wrote myself a note about it and put it in a ‘safe place’ so I wouldn’t forget. Just can’t place my hand on it at the moment. I’ll remember where I put it eventually. Now what was it I was doing again?

Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun?

Why just the other day I sat down to write a story for Writerpals when I got a phone call about something or other that needed doing straight away and then Sandra asked me to do something for her, then another phone call.....now what was it I wanted to do this morning??? Never mind, I’ll think of it again when I least expect it. That happens all the time!

I’ve got this book I’m reading, can’t put it down for long. Read hard copies of the first five books in the series that were given to me a Christmas. Sadly, the author has left me in the lurch because after all this reading we haven’t got to a conclusion yet and I read in the last hard copy he had a couple of more books to go before he’d get to ‘the end’. Still, he’s not a bad yarn spinner and I’m too far gone into the story to give up now. It just doesn’t leave much time for some of the other things that have a lower priority.

I know I shoulda, and I know I coulda, and I really woulda, and I really will just as soon as........

Do you know why a watched pot takes so long to boil? My God! I stepped in something disgusting when I was outside and I’ve tramped it into the kitchen. Best clean that up before Sandra sees it! Toast burnt again this morning! Bloody toaster! No matter how many times I adjust the thermostat I just can’t get it right. Try again tomorrow. Car needs washing and vacuuming Sandra said and I can see that too, but I’m busy right now, what was I doing again? Stop distracting me.....I’ll never get anything done!

Look at the time! I’d better make a cup of coffee, I feel the need of a ‘pick-me-up’ and then I’ll get on with it!
