Busy doing nothing
I'm extremely busy not packing right now. For something that I'm not doing, I'm putting a suprising amount of effort into it. It's a pattern I go through near every time I'm about to go on holiday. As each holiday approaches, I'm visited with flashbacks of the last minute scramble I went through before to get everything ready, always, always at the very last minute. And I recall promising to myself that next time will be different. Next time I'll be organised. Next time I'll get everything ready in advance so that I won't end up running out the door at the last possible instance in a desperate rush to catch the tube I need to make the train that I cannot miss or else I fail to reach the airport in time - and all the while wondering what I've forgotten to pack. And then the next time arrives and I find that I'm no more organised than before.
But I suppose it's time to end this procrastination. Yup that's what I'll do. End it. Now. I'll get up, pick up my suitcase and start packing. Right now.
Any second now, in fact.
Or in a minute or two.
Tomorrow's looking good, in fact.
Thursday may be better still.
...
Anyone know any good jokes?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Sigh...

Well, I think that people who choose to be disorganised are kind of cool and anarchic (as opposed to people who despite their best efforts to be prepared for anything, just can't quite cut it). I, on the other hand, have already started to organise my life, luggage and assorted crap for a (short) trip in March which is, frankly, rather sad and anal. This self-introspection can be very, very harsh ...
Packing ? That's that thing I'm going to do tomorrow evening, isn't it ?
Hmm...
2 Brits are packing,
1 New Yorker may be packed,
0 rooms ready for sleeping.
And the world shook as Kevin let loose a resounding "Meep!"
(OK, so the world didn't shake as much as start a little.)
Hmm.. maybe we should have given you a list of stuff that we wanted from the UK. Would have kept you busy while you were procrastinating from packing, at least.
