trying to focus on...oh look, a chicken!

[chelidon]

I have been struggling all day with the fact that my focus is totally non-existent. I've got a dozen things I need to be doing, and a dozen things I want to do after that, and I haven't gotten through even a fraction of them yet. I just found myself off online shopping for a chainsaw mill. Yes, I need one, sometime soon -- with the price of lumber these days, I'm going to need to start milling my own boards for furniture, beams and posts for cabins, etc. And aside from necessity, it's really nifty to think of all the things I will build with good wood milled from my own land. But do I need one *today*? Probably not. Same thing with the solar hot water panels I was researching, to supplement the wood boiler in the winter, and probably make it totally unnecessary to burn wood over the summer months. Yes, I want to put some in. Do I need to research that *right now*? Nope.

This isn't made any easier by the fact that today is a glorious, perfect day outside -- 74 degrees, blue sky, a light breeze, and all I want to do is go running through the woods and take a big splashy romp in the stream. But first, but first...a few important things to do.

Sometimes I can get heads-down and just tear through my to-do list, but wow, this is sure not one of those days. So...now I'm going to stop writing on LJ and get to work. That is, unless something else comes along to distract me, and...oh, look, what's *that*? ;>

Hmmph.
