Distractions Among Me

It is funny. I should be getting ready for work but I'm sitting here writing a blog. LOL! My husband is right, I do love "cutting everything down to the wire". Are any of you guys like that? I know what time I have to leave, I know I'm always pressed for time, but I get distracted so easily. I'll be doing something like say going to clean out Harley's litter box (which I have to do before I leave for work) and...the computer was on when I walked by to get the bag & I plop down & say to myself 'hmm, let me check the blog'. I digress. So now once I sign out of here I will go clean his box if I don't stop & get distracted again. Then this is classic Jodi. I will then realize the time and rush around like a moron to "beat the clock" and still get out at the same time I normally leave. Why do I do this to myself? Especially when I know today is payday & I have to hit the ATM before I go. But see in my head, I know I could save time because God one day saw fit to have someone think of the most brilliant idea for people who rush everywhere just like me....the drive thru ATM. Thank you God!
Do you all have them/use them? To me, I think they are safer than regular ATMs. Only reason being is if someone tried to hold you up at one of them, you could floor it out of there. I think there is a better chance of survival. (maybe not for the criminal) In the bank lobbies you are like a sitting duck, stuck in there with them. One of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world is when you are actually at the ATM in a bank lobby and you hear someone swipe their card to get in the lobby with you. Well, you think to yourself...'well they swiped a card so they are a customer'. So you breathe easy. Then you think to yourself, 'Wait! They could have stolen someones purse or wallet and swiped it just to get into the lobby'. Maybe I just spend too much time thinking. Well for slackers like me the drive thru ATM is better anyway so I don't have the lobby worry lingering over my head. That just takes up more time that I don't have. LOL!

Speaking of time, I guess I should start the process. Happy Friday my bloggy friends. I'm going to go get ready now. Oh wait, I got to do Harley's box...then get ready. See, what I mean?

UPDATE at 10:45am: I was on time for work - yay - pulled right in at 8:30am!! OK so I didn't make it to the ATM. But I did make it to McDonalds for an iced coffee. We all have our priorites. I will hit the ATM on my way home. The beautiful thing about it is that it is always open (pending it doesn't run out of money)..LOL! I do have a sister update. I spoke to her on the way to work and she said she has been doing great since the catheter is out. She is going often, but that is to be expected because of the stent she still has in. You can't imagine how much happier she sounds. Thank God.

I do the same thing in the morning! I try to do as much as possible the night before (litter boxes, etc) but I still get distracted!
I'm so glad your sister is doing well!

Thanks Sue...I really am so relieved about her. Now if it could be like this when she gets the stent out we'll be in good shape.

So you suffer from distraction like me. Let's look on the bright side, at least we are not alone :)
