Good morning. 🌹🌹🌹8 February 2026I bought a little battery‑powered vacuum a couple of weeks ago, and the box is still sealed. It’s one of those high‑speed gadgets shaped like an electric drill, with a battery pack that slides into the handle. At the time, I was convinced I had a specific task in mind—something important enough to justify the purchase—but whatever that task was has long since evaporated. I could use it to clean the dust out of my computer, but that’s one of those jobs that never quite qualifies as urgent.Supposedly the thing can reverse and blow air instead of vacuuming, which might be handy. I’ve already imagined using it to blow‑dry the motorcycle after a wash, but that’s another task that doesn’t need doing anytime soon. At this rate, the vacuum may stay in the box a while longer. I should charge the batteries, but—again—not right away.Today’s plan is to go outside with Charlie and the garden wagon—the kind that flips up and dumps—and pick up the concrete residue along the edge of the new driveway I had poured a couple of months ago. To be fair, I also planned to do that yesterday. And the day before. It’s something I want to do, but not something that demands immediate action. It does need to be done before spring, though, when mowing becomes unavoidable. I’m reasonably confident I’ll get out there today.The real obstacle is lunch. I usually have a salad and iced tea and eat in my recliner while the TV is on. That recliner has a way of grabbing hold of me and insisting on a nap afterward. Time has a funny way of slipping away when the recliner gets involved.“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.” — William James“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” — John Lennon“Great acts are made up of small deeds.” — Lao Tzu#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #nature #flower #rose #procrastination
