Tomorrow I'm really, really going to procrastinate. Friday at the latest.

Ah, not exercising. Now, that sounds like true procrastination. It's enjoyable, though, in the sense that only true procrastination can be. For as long as I can remember, I have taken a perverse pleasure in not doing what I am supposed to do. The task is sitting there, clear-cut, undone, waiting for me, while I savor the freedom of not doing it. Freedom isn't as free, for me, without that undone task sitting there. My earliest recollection of this is sitting outside on a picnic table, hiding from my mother, who wants me to come in and clean my bedroom. No moments were ever so sweet as those I spent not cleaning my bedroom. Can the joy of health that exercise brings ever match the joy of not exercising?
