Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell
Lucy and Twiggy
“It’s Friday, Lucy. Let’s play.”
“Sure thing, Little One. Wait until I have my coffee.”

 

Here it is another Friday. It is Friday before Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. It makes it a pretty important Friday for sure. It is that kind of Friday that makes you really nervous if you don’t have all the gifts bought and all the plans made. It is the kind of Friday that makes you wish you had started the holiday preparation a wee bit earlier….like October. Don’t forget there are 24 hours in a day and if you don’t need a lot of sleep, plenty of time to get everything done. Well, maybe not everything but enough, so no one will know you put off your preparations until the last second. Yeah, that’s what Friday feels like, the last second.

Todays, JohnKu talks about procrastination. I hope you have a delightful weekend getting everything done.

Many things to do,

Not enough time to do them . . .

Why did you delay?

  2. Love the haiku, John. I got started and sorted early this year, and I’m so glad I did, because now I’m down with a heavy cold and need to be able to rest up. So relieved I’m not still running around like a mad thing. All the best for Christmas and the New Year. And thanks for the link to Sally’s place … headed there now. Hugs, Harmony x

  7. For the first time in years, I’m completely caught up. Even the gifts that needed to be mailed are well on their way. I’m going to just call it a Christmas miracle and enjoy it.

  9. Perfect haiku, John. Of course, the pups “stole the show” with their attitude, which is unmistakably “Howell”. Hillarious! 😀

  11. Happy holidays, John! I hope you have most of your shopping and preparations completed and that the furry kids will be pleasantly surprised by Santa’s generosity.

    By the way, how long does it take for pipsqueak Twiggy to be fully grown and desire coffee before play? 😉

  13. I’m in pretty good shape this year, just have a lot of wrapping to do, and hope to dig in over the weekend.
    Thanks for the link to Sally’s blog, too. That’s a fun, festive party happening over there!

  17. I, for one, am miserably behind… Though yesterday I did manage to do most in one fell swoop. I figure I’ll be able to do the rest today. Possibly.
    Have a great Friday and weekend pre-Christmas, John!

  18. Wow! You’ve really put things in perspective for me, John. Thanks. I’m one of those procrastinators. :/ In my defense, I’ve had out-of-town guests the last two weeks. Phew! I better make it work.
    Thanks for the Sally mention. I’m heading over. Have a happy Christmas weekend!

  23. Dear John,
    we like what one of the commenters wrote here “delay is the way”. We get in panic every Christmas that we have forgotten someone or not enough presents etc. But it always worked out well. Don’t panic!

  24. For the first time in I-can’t-remember-when, I’m caught up — cards, decorations, presents, everything! Woo Hoo,it’s a fabulous feeling … so good I might need to make it a habit. Lovely JohnKu and here’s hoping you, too, get it all tackled!

  28. A great Johnku. I used to know a few different people who told me they always waited until Dec. 24th to shop because either “That’s what Christmas is about” or “It feels more like Christmas that way.” Not about getting the right gift for the right person, or even the joy of giving… It always gave me a headache trying to figure out those people. I guess it’s the joy of the mad dash, of picked-over leftover merchandise, and waiting in long lines to pay for it… But who am I to say? 🙂
