Do I love being paid to be a stickler for details when I’m hired to edit a story?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Thank you for asking.

No, I don’t mean the treadmill that life feels like sometimes.
I’m talking about my literal treadmill.
You know what I miss?
The fact that it’s so easy to look out the window or glance at the weather online and say nah, the weather isn’t delightful enough for me. I think I’ll just stay in and walk today.
I used to take a lot more pictures. I used to be forced to go outside and get my exercise, even when it wasn’t that nice out.
I used to have a daily paper route!
I had no choice but to go out every day. Rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow, ice, fog, wind, cold, hot … didn’t matter.
Am I going to go back to delivering the paper?
Nuh, uh. No way.
But … pictures!
Could I take pictures when I’m on my treadmill?
Sure I could.
But the neighbours might complain that there’s a weird woman shooting pictures of them out the front window as they walk past my house.
Maybe I just need spring to hurry up and get here.
Some pictures of spring 2013 when I had my paper route.

Okay, this one is a bit of a stretch, but stay with me here.
Procrastination:
It’s like holding a slingshot backwards.
The longer you stretch it, the harder it hits you in the face.
Please, hold your applause.
…
…
Okay, don’t.
See? Now your applause is even better.
It makes sense, right? Right?

My cup runneth not over … until I attempteth to empty it.

My Monday:
I made a pot of coffee and forgot to put in the coffee grounds, so I dumped the pot of hot water, put in a filter and the coffee grounds … and forgot the water. Three times lucky!

Have you ever been so convinced that it’s Monday that you almost didn’t schedule your One-Liner Wednesday prompt on Tuesday? And after reading that sentence, are you surprised I’m confused? Haha!

I don’t care if they’re bees or wasps, come summer, if I were squirrels living in those nests, I’d be packing my nuts and moving out.
Photo: In a tree, still with no leaves, four squirrels’ nests high up in the branches share the space with a bee or wasp nest that’s the same size. The squirrel nests are made of dead leaves and the other nest is white and round.
