Q: What did you do today, RG?
A: Not a damn thing.
Q: Didn't you have a to-do list, as you do each and every day?
A: Yes. It had, mirabile dictu, one item on it today: call my lawnmower manufacturer to ask about a replacement part.
Q: Ah. And did you accomplish this one task?
A: Nope. Couldn't work up the energy.
Q: Did you work diligently on that article you have cooking? Fiddle with that poem you've been trying to finish since April 2010?
A: I skyped Neruda for four hours and took a nap. Later, I thawed some tomato-orange soup I'd made a few weeks back and ate it for dinner.
Q: For what time must you set your alarm tomorrow morning?
A: For the first time since January, no alarm.

Ah! Summer must have set in for you! Delight in it for now. Alarms are so overrated. :)
Uh, this day sounds amazing. Hope it was amazing.
