The End of the Rush

I'm jumping the gun but having the whole weekend off can do that to a guy. I'm just sitting here in my comfy clothes while a 30C sun bears down on my newly purchased flowers. The worst is behind us, we're moving on from planting to primping, spraying, staking. The seed is in the ground, now it's time to make it feel good. I don't know, I'm trying to ramble out a post on a hot as heck Sunday morning. I managed to finish my book today, take a walk, do a load of laundry to completion, which means wash, dry, fold, store, and get my weekly groceries already and it's just ringing ten bells now. I'd say I had a productive day in the three hours since I rose. I still have to go out once more. I have a little chore for work that I should have done on Friday night and I have the task I've based my entire weekend around. There is a major sale at Canadian Tire this weekend and there is a specific item I'd like to purchase for my Dad for Father's Day which is upcoming. I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet and the more I think about it, the more I wonder if it's even worth bothering with. One of those ideas that feels very thoughtful but I can't picture him using the item specifically. It's sort of frustrating. He's bad at needing stuff, a trait which I inherited. It makes gift buying difficult. Ask Brown and She, they still haven't figured out my Christmas gift yet! But anyways, all chiding aside, I seem to have this mental block about braving the crowds alone during full daylight. I've lamented my seven in the morning grocery routine on here before and I guess that logic extends to this scenario too. Cheese and I have discussed that at some length during our recent road trip to North Bay. We had a fairly lively chat on the return trip. One of the core themes was around just doing things. Wondering why we set things aside, what motivations exist or rationale we fabricated to avoid doing things that would be simple in their essence to complete. I guess that's part of getting to know one's self. I don't suspect either of us was enlightened by the other's plight but it was interesting to say the least. Anyways, speaking of which, I should probably quite procrastinating and move along to my next agenda item, so that we can get to lunch/nap, my favourite Sunday move.
