Ch-ch-changes aka procrastination

I am messing with my blog again, and I think it may just lead to a total revamp of my web site (again). So. What could that possibly mean?

It means I am trying to avoid doing something. What am I trying to avoid? I am trying to avoid doing a long list of things that I should be doing, but I don’t really feel like doing right at this moment. This, of course, is going to lead to only more stress about my list of things to do.

In part, I blame the weather. It is nice outside, although the wind is a little cool. It is sunny, and there is no ice on the ground (and very little snow). So I shouldn’t be inside on my laptop working on homework and grading papers. Yet I am inside, but I am not doing homework or grading papers, although I have the ability to both. Instead I am blogging. And I am tweaking html code. And I am exploring how to create random images for my blog header photo. That, of course, means I am going to have to tweak the rest of the pages in my site, so that they more closely match my blog, which is ultimately what I want. (In fact, it is why I decided to switch from Typepad to Word Press in the first place.)

And then, I try to figure out how to import my Typepad blog posts to Word Press, and I can import, but for some reason they aren’t archiving like they should be. So how do I handle that? It is supposed to happen automatically from what I can tell, but it isn’t. So if anyone knows the answer to that one, you would save me valuable procrastination time if you wrote the answer in the comments.

I am also not reworking my resume, and writing a cover letter, although I have at least two jobs I know I need to apply for very soon. And so what do I do? I blog. I tweak html. I procrastinate.

In my defense, I didn’t sleep well last night between the hours of 3 and 5, and so therefore, I am resisting being awake and productive.

Also, I have a huge to-do list of all the mom-related things I have to do the minute I get off work today, which includes picking up and transporting various children to various locations by various times. So. Even if I were to start something productive, I would not be able to finish it. Right? Right.

Thanks for playing.
