Saw these sheep along the wall, now they were innocently pretending to be sheltering against the wind I suspect, but it looks to me as if they were secretly plotting to push the wall over...

I can imagine the scene...

Sheep 1 "It's moving, a few more pushes and we'll be free"
Sheep 2 "Hold everything, humans arriving"
Sheep 1 "all right everyone, look stupid and chew"
-- much chewing --
Sheep 4 "Baaaah"
-- more chewing --
Sheep 1 "They're gone. Get ready... 3.. 2.. 1.. PUSH"
Sheep 4 "I thought my baah-ing was a nice touch, dont you think? Very natural"
Sheep 1 "Shut up and push"

You never know with sheep

A bit of an empty time at the moment - so much to do and I cant do it all.

When one has too many things one ought to do, somehow one ends up doing a lot less - it demotivates.

The worst of it is that almost none of it has a lot of use in helping my future, they're all about cleaning, clearing, paperwork, admin. Needs to be done since there will be grief later if they are not done properly, but taking time away from what I ought to be doing, which is getting my future straight.

I have to do a swiss tax return for my mum, up to the date of her death, havent been able to get all the paperwork from all the companies in question, haven't got a clue how to do such a tax return, and the tax office is sending stressful letters - it's a hard enough job without them pushing, really...

Stuff like that...

What I would really need is a space where I can have all the papers I need laid out clearly, and can work through it nicely - but at the moment I dont have such a space. And should I try to arrange such a space theres a whole bunch of tasks that would need to be done...

it goes on and on...

So much to do to prevent me from writing, getting in front of clients, prepare for client/job related phone calls, and fun things like blip, games etc.

So theoretically the faster i get through those the better, right? How come we never work this way, how come we tend to get sidetracked, procrastinate etc. when there are things in the way of what we really want to do? Put off complicated phone calls, can't decide which task to start on when? And I read all the books and know all the good methods and yet...

Ugh - not my best mood :S

Pink flowers will help though - and the little fella on the image is pure luck, I didnt see it until back at the computer

Lame day on Friday: wake up, walk the dog (short, it was grey and drizzly), have breakfast, try to warm up, catch up on online stuff, walk the dog and let her run again, find her a stick (blip!), come back home, warm up again, have a snack, waste time online thinking "i really ought to write something instead of reading, get a headache, go sleep it off, get up, cook supper (a lentil,swede and bacon soup, cause I had all the ingredients, found on forkd), drag R to supper (he's been unwell for 2 weeks now), eat supper, put candy by the door for kids who in the end won't turn up, go to living room, wait 1 hour for R to come watch a DVD, watch DVD on my own, go to bed. I feel I am wasting my days a bit - so many projects and i manage to do NOTHING in an entire day.

Pippi on the other hand had a great day: walk, eat, sleep, walk, run, find stick, eat, spend part of the afternoon on bed next to owner, play a bit, sleep while DVD is being watched, walk... bliss! So many things and managed to do ALL in an entire day.
