Research paper due. Another one. Three more remaining after this one completed. Hate them. Takes too much time, and energy. Instead of working on this dreaded paper, Oliver and I took a nap together, and I watched a movie. Now I am regretting my choices of watching the movie…bleh. I need an intervention to prevent this procrastination from disrupting my life.

My sister delivered the meat we ordered for our meal planning today. 15 pounds of hamburg, and 20 pounds of chicken. It was packaged so beautifully I felt bad breaking it all down into separate meals. Cannot wait to test out some of the great recipes I have found, which I will be sharing.

My vacation is almost over. Back to work Saturday night, and unfortunately, I have not gotten everything I hoped I would get accomplished. The good thing is I feel refreshed and destressed.

I picked up A Writer’s Coach: The Complete Guide to Writing Strategies That Work at Borders the other day and have been highlighting and dog-earing pages. I have to admit that I spend too much time thinking, and researching, and tend to go around in circles wasting time, and so far this book is giving me some great ideas on how to plan, and begin my papers. This was one of those books that I know I will reference a lot during the next two years that are remaining of my masters program, so I decided to purchase the hard copy instead of the kindle version.

For here I am going to run along to spend the remainder of the night with my boys. I’ll think of this paper tomorrow. Maybe. Until tomorrow…
