Work Avoidance

I slotted this morning as a "work" morning -- everyone is out of the house, and I knew the weather wouldn't be great, so I have the perfect setting for my thinking and planning for a PD presentation.

What have I done instead --

• engaged in a long string of text messages with a group of friends doing some planning, but also doing some silly stuff
• caught up on some of my Slice of Life commenting
• read and commented on some of the #cyberPD thinking about Who Owns the Learning by Alan November
• called a friend
• read 3 chapters in a new adult suspense book
• and since I first wrote this a half hour ago, I am now adding missed blogs to my Feedly feed

While I'm as happy as a clam, I do realize I've blown a wonderful opportunity to get some important (and much needed) work done.

Oh what the heck?!!  It's July 4th, Independence Day - I declare my independence to utilize my alone time to spend in the activities I choose.  Isn't that what the signers of the Declaration of Independence meant? :)
