Sabotage!



Sorry it's been a while, y'all. I never said I was good at consistency (or being on time, but that ain't none of your business).

At any rate, I hope you've been having a more productive day that I am.

Today at around lunch time, I was told that the black weed-preventing stuff I put down in my garden had blown all over the gosh darned place. There was a big rain and wind storm the night before last and it blew everything all to hell. I had to go pick it up and pick the metal (useless b@stards!) staples out.

I've almost finished with the crazy-colored blanket that G-Man wanted me to crochet for him. I was supposed to have finished it today, but Renee said it should be even bigger so G can wrap himself up in it. So, it'll probably be another week or so until I finish it. I like the idea of it being even bigger, though, because I don't want him to grow out of it. It is already the size of a throw, but I want him to use it when he's a teenager without his feet stickin' out of the other side of it.

In the speeches I give to the high school kids, I speak about sabotage, telling them how easy it is for them to sabotage their futures. One wrong decision can affect their entire lives.
However, there are other forms of sabotage that people do on a daily basis... For example, if I stay up late one night, I have sabotaged the next morning because I'm too doggone tired to do anything. Or, maybe I sabotaged myself by skimping on the staples for the weed-stop fabric.

How do you sabotage yourself?
