River: Procrastination, etc.

[mdlbear]

My penchant for leaving things to the last possible minute seems to be in full force this month. There are things -- mostly things that require making phone calls -- that have been hanging around for over a month. And then there's practicing for Saturday's concert. So what do I do? Read, mostly. DW and Discord and Slack (oh my!). And use the fact that Desti spent much of the day in my lap as an excuse to read rather than write, since it's hard to type with one hand stuck under a purring cat. And at least I'm not doomscrolling.

However, here I am, writing a semi-random stream-of-consciousness blog entry because I'm too lazy to actually think of something meaningful to write about. It does seem to get worse as I grow older. Since I don't have an actual job to structure my days around, I don't seem to have the motivation to do much of anything. (I've done a little system administration, but not very much. Puttering.)

My concert setlist has gradually been taking shape. When I ran through it Monday, it was well over an hour and a half, so I'm obviously going to have to do some cutting. That will have to include QV, because I really want to do Millennium's Dawn and two 12-minute songs in a 55-minute concert would be at least one too many. (I'm sure some you reading this might think it's two too many, but...)

Looking over last year's stats I see quite a few filler posts, mostly on Wednesdays. So that makes a good excuse, right?
