No rest for the wicked…

Ya know what?  I’m going to take today off and just lie around and watch movies.  Heck, I work 6.5 days out of 7 and 12 out of 24 hours, so I deserve the day off.  When I was practicing law full time and doing Ming pretty much full time I was putting in close to seventy hour plus weeks, so this is a cakewalk.   Yup, I’m just going to lay around like a lazy slug today and re-charge my batteries.  Yup, that’s what I’m gonna do, take Sunday off and be a slug.

But first maybe I’ll just head down to the shop for a few minutes and work an a few Pugs.  That’ll be that much less I have to do tomorrow.  Yeah, an hour should do it, and then I can be a lazy slug.  I’m glad I thought of that as I’ll enjoy my leisure time so much more knowing that I have accomplished something today.

And maybe while I’m in the shop I’ll work on the new Bullets project.  I’m running behind on that and I do have a teaser up on the site, so I really should get going.  So, I guess I’ll handle that while I’m in the shop.  I’ll be that much more ahead.

Oh, yeah, and while I’m down there I’ll work on filling some nodes on a few bamboo tampers that really need to go out.  Introducing bamboo in a significant way is way, way behind and there are couple of special orders that need to go out first.

And then there’s a Flux in Caneel I wanted to carve to match an incredible one that I just did in Bali.  And speaking of Caneel I need to make one in the new Dragonfly shape that is firmly pictured in my head.  I need that tamp to send to a buddy of mine in honor of his newborn son.  If I don’t get cracking on that the kid will be in grade school before it arrives.  Other Caneel tamps need to go to friends in New York and Virginia.

And all of that is not to mention that fact that since screwing around with getting motors working in my shop it is in such disarray that even I get jittery when I take a good look around.  I really should spend at least a few hours beginning to get organized. But heck, I can’t do that as I have thirty or so special orders carved and sitting in plastic tubs waiting to be sanded.  But first I’ve got to experiment more with stains so that I can get Hiras out of the shop and ready for shipping.  But first I need to get that new belt/disk sander set up, the one that has been sitting on the basement landing for the past two years.  The wife will shoot me if I don’t get that into the shop. Oh man, now that I think about it this is all just the tip of the iceberg.  There’s just so much to do and so little time.

All things considered, the real question is why I’m sitting here writing when I really need to be getting my butt down to the shop and putting my nose to the grindstone.  That way I can lie back like a lazy slug this evening watching movies.  I won’t even spend half the evening answering emails.  Nope, I’ll just spend the whole danged evening watching movies.  Yup, that’s what I’ll do.

Yeah, right.
