Procrastination

So, I've been trying to write something about MassHealth since June 29, but I'm having trouble focusing because every time I think about insurance in any form I get a migraine (or something), and at some point I realize that hours have elapsed for which I can make no account, and that I haven't written a sentence.  Perhaps I have visited your blog and barfed loving ooohs and aaahs or a steaming pool of sarcastic bile all over your comments.   Perhaps a stack of warm and neatly folded towels has magically appeared atop the dryer.  Perhaps I have played stupid online games which shall not be named or linked.  I don't know.  I only know that I have promised myself that I will not blog about anything else until I get that freakin' post done.

And another week goes by.

And other topics pile up.

Today I'm trying something new.  Today I'm going to try procrastinating on my blog not yours.  (I have already failed, but this is like falling off the wagon; one must simply climb back on with no regrets and try to hold on tighter.)

I'm simply moving -- moving right along -- to other bloggy topics today.  Maybe this will free up my soul, or my blood pressure, to the point where I can dribble out a few thoughts on MassHealth every so often, in between conscientious procrastinations, and maybe at the end of the day there will be daylilies and blueberry pie here, Oscar Pistorius, ice cream balls, and mary janes, but also maybe a finished MassHealth post.  Maybe I can trick myself into doing something I really want to do but am having trouble doing if I can only distract myself with enough pleasantries -- here, though, not on your blog -- you hear me?  NOT ON YOUR BLOG -- not in the kitchen, not in the garden -- no really, I mean it -- not in Louisiana, not in front of the TV.

Let me just throw some more towels in the wash, and I'll be right back.

Well I'm glad to see you're not procrastinating. Me neither. Feels good, don't it?

Right. Not procrastinating. NOT AT ALL.

Thank you for the sarcas-, er, moral support, and for setting me such a good example. ;)
