Playing Catch-Up

I seem to be allowing things to fall behind.

Like my cousin's birthday last month. Which is strange because I made a point of buying his gift a month early. I marked the date on my calendar, placed the book in an easy to locate spot (on the counter beneath my cell phone). Bought a padded envelope, even, and psyched myself into wrapping and packing the book. Then, the date arrived and passed by. I eventually mailed it, but a week or two late.

Or my brother's second wedding anniversary just this past Tuesday. I told Caesar that I needed to get them something. My Mother called at work Monday to remind me about the anniversary. The day arrived and passed by. Only today did I stop by their house after work to deliver their gift and spend an hour talking and admiring the renovations they made to the 100-year-old house.

My Facebook page has been feeling the laziness, too. I rarely logon to update my status. Mostly because I can do that from Tweetdeck while updating my Twitter status. And when I do grace the Book of Face with my presence, I'm on for no more than a few minutes, updating my office's page, responding to statuses, poke back friends.

And then there's this here blog. My posting has become less frequent though I made a promise (many times this year, it would seem) to update on a regular basis, even if just a sentence or two. But I am posting....

I could rationalize it with work becoming increasingly busy thanks to my new duties. Or maybe it's due to the cyst on my shoulder not allowing for full function of my arm until a few days ago. (It's healed but will have a half-inch scar.) Or my trying to read five books at once is taking up too much of my time.

Excuses, excuses.

Face it: I'm just plain lazy of late. This will change!!
