There was something I was planning to get around to doing yesterday, but it totally slipped my mind and I forgot, sort of. The prompt that went away before I could get to it, about saving the world except for having procrastinated too long. That one (and "it should be humorous" if I remember correctly). Now I feel entitled to return to it by nature of this prompt on royalty, plus the arrogance of some procrastinators. That’s not me, by the way…the idea for the prompt didn’t come together until this morning and when I woke up, only this royal one and a frivolous one about a compound word not being as a compound word was offered. Who wants to talk about my cat being in a car…said not my cat ever (she’s not a carpet, so don’t tread on her, or put her in anything on wheels…yeah).

Anyway, saving the world yesterday was on my to-do list. I just had a lot going on, you know? Some days are like that. I was busy crossing the T’s and dotting the i's on the list, and then, I took a nap from having being woken in the night to start thinking about the list and what to put on it in the first place. "Save the world" always ranks above "save myself" because that’s the right thing to do, yes? However, I was running laundry on a Sunday as it was and got to cutting some crazy hedge that grew way out of line after a week of storms. I didn’t even have that on the list! I added it after "save myself" and then crossed it off, since I had completed it. Before I did so, I also added a star, since I did it well.

"Save the world" is one to ponder, especially when written down. So, I put a box around it in order to specify its importance in my mind. I do have some really good ideas about how to approach it. I think it involves books, young minds, and social media. I went ahead a jotted “1/2” and a star as encouragement to myself that at least I’m on track and making progress. (You know, either you’re part of the solution or…yup, the problem.)

So here I am. It's a new day. I have added to my list, "Work through perfectionism issues." World still not saved. Yet. Freaking Mondays.
