Responsibility Bites

I think I have already mentioned Hyperbole and a Half and I am certain I'll mention this amazing storyteller again in the future, but right now, I just can't stop thinking about her This is why I'll never be an adult post. I love it so much I am going to break my rule about not using other people's pictures. This graph is like getting to lick the bowl of cake batter - just a little hint at the deliciousness to come.

Go. Read. Fall in love.

I have been so productive the past couple of days - took dog to park, bathed dogs (a monumental task in itself), cleaned house (not clean-clean but more of like when I take a super fast bath and only clean the important parts), washed all dog blankets (also quite an accomplishment considering there are two dog beds for every room in the house), installed 3 window units (each one louder than the next but I console myself by hugging my small electric bill), washed my car (hoping to bring rain to the fires around us), and gardened.

The only problem is, now I am exhausted and all the stuff I did do wasn't near as important as the stuff I didn't do. I think that's what they call milking a mouse - doing little things to avoid the big things. I have been avoiding like a champ and it sucks because I can't revel too much in my accomplishments because really that was just me stalling. Like I'm doing right now.
