With procrastination, we all win!

It's a fact that if I don't start working before noon, my desire to work decreases by about twenty gazillion percent. Right now I'm stuck in the contradictory predicament of hyperventilating because my finances are crap and I need more work, but not feeling like working on the work I do have. So for the past hour and a half I've been catching up on my Google Reader, updating my Mint.com account (boy, was that depressing), paying all my bills, writing thank-you notes to clients, sending invoices, and just about anything else I can think of to put off actual paying work for another few minutes. This includes blogging. Hi.

Today got off to a pretty good start. I slept until 8:30ish, and then I actually got out of bed, dressed in work out clothes, and trudged on the treadmill for half an hour. (Don't be fooled: this is nothing like my usual morning routine, which involves sleeping until 9:00, cursing the daylight as I stumble into the bathroom, and then falling down the stairs where I get a couple of pieces of toast and a Diet Coke, and then sitting in front of the computer in my pajamas for the rest of the day.) Unfortunately it took me about half an hour to get the TV over the treadmill going, and that pursuit involved running down and up two flights of stairs for an extension cord, so by the time I actually started trudging I was already out of breath and sweating, two things I hate. After trudging, I showered and headed downstairs for my toast and Diet Coke when I got a text from my friend Brick asking if I wanted to go to lunch. Duh. Yes. So I had lunch at Chili's (so much for treadmilling, and so much for helping my rubbish finances) with B-Rick and G-Mac, and now it's 3:30 and I don't feel like doing anything, although I probably will eventually because deadlines scare me.

So what's new with you since we spoke last?
