So That's What They've Been Talking About"

Took most of the day off today...except for some writing. I awakened with the alarm at 3:45am, got dressed and went out for my usual run, came home and had some coffee and watched Lucia head for the office.

About thirty minutes later, I decided to dust the house...but I vacuumed first. Then, I thought I'd clean the bathrooms...I had no idea it would take so long. By the time I got done, it was time for a shower and some lunch.

It was after lunch that I hit the studio for some writing(after all, that's what I'd been avoiding all morning). When the writing was done it was time for my appointment with a friend for coffee and conversation. No time for voiceovers today!! Of course, that means no money today either.

I have friends who have retired and they each say they have no idea how they ever had time to work with all they find to occupy their days. I never understood that...until today. Sitting down now to write this before I pour a manhattan I have to say, "So that's what they've been talking about."
