The Side Quest

 It's George Michael Week. 

This is what a side quest looks like, not helped by an intense day in front of the computer writing in a formulaic way and editing on a system that didn't want to play nice. 

I want to put some guard rails up. 

So, in finding the song of the day I'll select from George Michael songs. Why George Michael? Because that's who was playing at the gym tonight. 

It's a guard rail. 

As my head is zooming tonight, I'm trying to calm it down. 

A few rows of knitting didn't settle it. 

Watching episodes of Suits is not working either. 

The dishes need to be done. I'm afraid they will be done in three lots. Not one. 

I refuse to wear white trousers because I'd look like the Mushroom Killer. 

I want to call my unwritten novel Discombobulant, not that the book is written, is that a real word, but I think it should be. 

My cat is misbehaving. He wants me to go to bed so he can warm himself, sleeping between my knees. He's being very demanding. 

These are my side quests tonight. I am procrastinating. I can see myself doing it. It is okay. 

And there's a week of George Michael to look forward to. 

(There is a point to this. Welcome to the inside of my brain in avoidance mode. I will get to the thing I'm avoiding. Just not tonight.)

Today's song
