I have work to do.

And in the time it took to write that sentence and this one — I got up to look out the window because a deer is in the training field. I wondered if the hummingbird feeder is empty and went out front to check it. I went to the washroom, brushed my teeth, and put my hair in a pony tail and then braids, then back to a pony tail. I also poured myself another cup of coffee, got a glass of water, and on the way back to my desk, I looked for my gloves that went missing last winter.

I’m grateful that something shiny or worse yet — a blue bike didn’t enter the picture, or I’d really be distracted!
