“I hope you can relax today.” He said as he kissed me goodbye

“I plan to.” I replied and meant it.

And I did relax — at least while I ate my yogurt bowl and drank my coffee.

But sometimes little duties are like little children. They clamor at you until you can no longer ignore them.

The dog food I started yesterday needed to be finished and mixed. The yogurt I started yesterday needed to be strained. Fruit needed to be juiced so that we have fridge space. Coffee needed to be ground. Food needed to be prepped for lunches and dinners. My starter needed to be fed. Laundry needed to be finished. Dishes needed to be done. And let’s not forget the dogs. They must have their long walk. So I got up and got busy.

After completing most of those things, I sat down to take a break and talk myself into writing when a message from Brandon, our UPS guy, popped up on my phone. I hope you have a UPS guy like Brandon.

Sometimes when we have a lot of packages come in for the business or he can’t put them in the locker system because it’s broken or there’s no room, he lets us know so that we can go get them so they don’t get stolen. Most people are decent here at the apartments and only take their own, but every once in awhile, someone decides to be a loser and grab what isn’t theirs.You never get it back and they never get caught even though there’s video because like most of the people currently rioting in LA, they make sure you can’t see their face.

I got up from my two second break to pick up and deliver the packages to the garage, a little relieved to get out of writing a little bit longer.

I love writing, and I want to be a writer, but sitting down to write is one of the hardest things for me to do. Isn’t it funny how we humans will put off becoming or doing the very thing we want to become or do?

Anyways, talk later. Gotta go finish the laundry.
