D on’t you hate it when you’re trying to get something

I mportant completed but there always

S eems

T o be something holding you back from getting it done? I

R emember other things I’ve forgotten until that exact moment

A nd then I’m left scurrrying around trying to

C hoose which

T ask

I s a higher priority

O n my to do list. I’ll end up so overwhelmed I just say

N evermind.

    Hi Kim - Haven't seen you publishing of late ~ You must be 'Distracted.' Your highly unusual presentations are just marvelous and interesting. I'm just a retired highly scrutinized legal writer morphed into a self described 'Goof Writer'...Nothing more. Not into contests or rewards but so enjoy 'original' stories such as yours among the many snippers within our vm village with sharp scissors these days. *I've subscribed with pleasure - I would look forward to seeing other offerings from you.
