excuses, excuses

It’s a dark, overcast day. Rain threatens but doesn’t come.

I plan to go over to the Met and see the Winogrand photography exhibit; today is its last day.  I am walking out the door when something stops me.  Desire.  I have none.


I'd rather stay home and:
  • Clean my bathroom.
  • Update my 2015 Filofax.
  • Go to Agata; they’re having a huge sale (never mind that it ends October 4th).
  • Finish reading Louise Doughty's mesmerizing novel, Apple Tree Yard.
  • Wrap the gifts I got my mother and sister for their upcoming birthdays (even though I’m not seeing them until next week).
  • Make a dinner reservation for when M comes on Friday (as if that will consume hours of time).
  • Program my DVR for the new fall season.
  • Look for an inexpensive cover for my three-year old Kindle. (I find a new leather Cole Haan one for only $10 on ebay, including shipping).
  • Switch my warm-weather clothes with my fall-winter ones; though the forecast would suggest I needn't bother.

It's amazing what you can get done when you don't want to do something else.
