I am a champion procrastinator. Right now I have laundry waiting to be hung out, the guest bed to strip, more laundry to start and food that needs to be put away. And many other tasks.
Buuut, Hubby fell asleep watching baseball, so I'm sitting quietly on the couch and not moving
I wish he fell asleep watching something else, but good excuse to sit and play on my phone
Oh, I can reach my book and my coffee. No need to move.

Reading a book is a good way to feel better.

I've procrastinated with dusting the house, it's a dire need that I dread doing.

You sounds kinda like me, lots of tasks and little will to get them done! Maybe I shouldn't have done so many laps at the lake.

Living alone I often put things off because who is going to say anything? However I try to do my best so that the kittens don't make a bigger mess than they already do

I live alone and therefore can use any room I like. Now I am watching the TV and am answering to your discussion at the same time.

Is your procrastination being that you don't want to do the task. That's how it is with me, although mostly I am pretty diligent with getting stuff done in a reasonable time.
Ha, ha. Coffee check, book check, and phone check. Sounds like your all set, check

@paigea I understand. With me I can't seem to complete all my tasks. Seems another one always comes up

Well, you have a good reason to procrastinate. That I considerate of you to try to be quiet and not wake him up. You are a thoughtful wife...and you get the perks of having coffee and your phone nearby. I hope you relaxed and enjoyed that time.

That appreciation makes life much better. Good for you. I try to appreciate as much as I can also.

At least you admit to your procrastination.

I would shut the television off if I wasn't interested in baseball, which I'm not, and see if he wakes up. If he does, tell him all the things that still need doing and ask him which tasks he plans to take on.
When I get tired of feeling like I'm the only one that does anything, I outline what I see that needs doing and ask Pretty which things she feels like doing. If she accepts one of the tasks and does it, I'm happy. It beats me doing them all.
I hope you enjoyed your rest this afternoon.

@paigea Poor guy.
As long as you make each other happy, everything else is easier.
