Nearly six hours ago, I came to the office with the intention to write a blog post.  But first, I checked my e-mail inbox.  There were several items that required attention.  That done, it was time for breakfast.  After breakfast, I returned to the office and began to read my favorite online news sources.  Next, I visited my favorite blogs.  That took a while.

My coffee cup was empty.  I refilled my nearly constant companion and started listening to Return of the King by JRR Tolkien on audio book.  Now on autopilot, I started playing Spider Solitaire as I listened to the story.  My eyes soon wandered to the window on my left.  It needed some work, but I wasn’t sure that I could do it without Sylvia’s help.  I decided to try.  An extra pair of hands would have made the job easier, but with planning and a handy length of two by six, my two hands proved sufficient.  I turned my attention to the window on my right.  This went easier–much easier–than the first one.  In the midst of all that activity, I found time for a late lunch.

After lunch and having finished the two windows in the office, I turned my attention to six more windows.  These were soon done.

Ready for a rest, I sat at the computer and started writing this.  That was over two hours ago.  It seems that only a sentence or two gets written before my attention turns to this project or that.  Perhaps I should post this before . . .  Oh, I really should . . .
