What is it about things I think have to do?
I want to do that thing and nevertheless, because feel I have to do it, I procrastinate.
Then there is that whole “under the wire” dynamic that goes along with the procrastination thing.
The process reminds me of being in school again, but it does not make me feel young again.
In adult life I was able to make and execute plans that prevented this kind of problem.
That success did not make the problem go away.
I wonder what the difference is between planning for problems and thinking I have no problems.
From now on, I will make up some problems that I can plan to avoid.
Clearly, I always have problems and I am just fooling myself when I think I have no problems.

I had a nice long talk with my daughter. [smiles]
She is so busy, but when I call she seems to have time to chat about whatever comes up.
My son, on the other hand, is way too much like his father.
My Sister is also easy to talk to.
Family has so many funky little quirks, I guess that is why it is also called a nucleus.
