The Power of Two

So, it took me about 2 hours to get up this morning (alarm went off at half 7, didn't get up til gone 9), a further two hours to get ready (breakfast, shower, and dressed), a further hour to put myself in the right mindset to even contemplate work (which included helping my dad and sister chop up branches trimmed from our immense Bramley apple tree), and then another 2 hours before I even put a single new word on the page. That amounts to a lot of wasted time. Yet somehow I just about managed the 2 pages of edits I wanted to get done today (just about - that's the key words). Fortunately, I have tomorrow off as it's my three-year anniversary with the wonderfully charming Jackson. And yeah, I knew I wouldn't find the time to wrap his presents so I'm just going to have to throw them in a gift bag with some tissue paper... And no card! Damn, I am slipping, aren't I? Well it's all part of life, I guess. Better go now; got more Vampire Diaries to catch up on!
