still raining

what a miserable gray day. you know the weather's bad when friends in other states call to check on you because they saw on the national news that folks in your city were being evacuated from rising water, eh? or when you glance up at the muted tv and see your town on good morning america. just rain and wind in my neighborhood, and i have nowhere to be today, so no worries here. great day for a nap, but there's no time for that. too much to worry about: for instance, why the heat is not working in my apartment. and the 40% of my work to-do list for today that is yet to be done. and this ridiculous baseball game! seriously-- the tigers? i nearly forgot they even existed. instead, i've been brainstorming about travel, and plotting how to convince clay to come spend a few days at my house in january in place of our beach trip, which i doubt either of us will be able to comfortably afford, at least not the way we did it last year. so instead of working or stalking my landlady, i've spent the last half hour averting my eyes from the television and taking goofy pictures of my well-stocked kitchen and pantry, to show clay that he really won't have to spend a dime on food if he comes to visit. perhaps next i'll finish cleaning the bathroom. is it still "procrastinating" if you actually get something accomplished, even if it that particular something is not the smartest priority?
