Good Morning, or Afternoon, or Evening to you and thanks for stopping by, I really am delighted that you are here. I am up early here in my little corner of the universe trying to finish this post, as it is already a couple of days late.
I love to be up early but I hate to get out of bed. Do you know what I mean?
This morning, as is now the norm, my bladder woke me up early.
TMI?
Any way I did my best to ignore the discomfort, as I always do, which, if you think about it, is one of the dumbest choices ever. I mean the point of staying in bed. is relaxing and, well, I don't need to elaborate do I? This morning, as I lay there determined to out stubborn nature, I also had all these thoughts running through my head about how to finish up this blog post. They were witty, inspiring and brilliant or so they seemed through the haze of waking. So I dragged myself out of bed, took care of a few necessities and sat down at my computer to write.
Is it just me or is the internet entirely responsible for the onset of adult ADD?
So far this morning I have checked my email (deleted 95% of them without reading), subscribed to a new blog about living in an RV (pure fantasy and more emails to delete in the future), pinned some stuff (I don't even remember what now), checked my blog stats (never really good for general morale.) And now having completely lost all of the witty and inspiring things I was going to say, I am writing to you about pee and wondering when ADD became ADHD. I am not by the way hyperactive but holding a train of thought that is a tuffy.
There is a lesson in there somewhere. But so often we are our own cautionary tails aren't we?
Alright, if I haven't lost you lets get on with it. If you have read any of my recent post you know that I am participating in a 31 day spending zero challenge hosted by Ruth Soukup, who, come to think of it, may not appreciate being mentioned in this particular post. :-)
Anyway the challenge is almost over and I have to admit that I have cheated some but it has still been a really great experience. In addition to saving money we have also been cleaning up our homes. Yesterday we took a truck load of stuff to the Goodwill. It feels good to get ride of stuff that weighs you down doesn't it?
Only 76,122 more tuck loads and I will be ready to live in that RV.
But seriously.
Why are you here?
