wherein the author makes deals with herself
Written on 23 May 2006 | Posted in me | 2 Comments
Day four of my four-day weekend and the sun has finally decided to poke his head out, all warm and inviting (that’s the morning sun, over on the left, casting a shadow upon our living room wall of our bikes hanging in the porch).
Shall I weed and mulch to-day? Shall I sweep away the tree pollen and winter grime off the deck and get out the patio furniture? Shall I stroll up the street, stopping only to browse in the library to gather approriate sunny spring day reading, before settling in at a coffee shop patio with words and tea? Shall I head up to the studio and spend the next few hours sketching ideas for Plush You II softies? Shall I crack the spines on the five books I have from the library on the topic of distance education and pedagogy in an online environment?
There are things I want to do and things I should do, I’ve spent much of the morning in a state of indecision, performing mental somersaults and making deals with myself: first a should, then a want. Rinse, repeat.
Such masterful negotiating!
what a great pic, amanda – really lovely and striking. so, what did you end up deciding on?

I wish I could say I did it all! I weeded the front yard, strolled up the street to enjoy the weather, and when I got home, I settled in on the couch and read for hours. Definitely more “want” than “should”!
