Too Many Weekend Choices

Too many choices on my days off
I am confused and surrounded with ideas
Painting, writing, cleaning, sorting, shoveling
I look at my bed, wondering if I need a nap
But wait. Haven’t I already had two of them?
Depressed because of all the choices
Wishing it was Monday again
So my choices would be limited.
You could sort out the silverware drawer a voice says.
I pull the covers over my head
The dog climbs up gratefully,
This is our happy place.

Ha!! Ha!! Well, they say just do it. One can start with one thing then that will lead to another but I guess a nice warm comforter and a little sleep can set the body in motion later. Your visits to my page are encouraging. Sara
