Procrastination

Portugal, October 2019

Back again in well known territory for me. First time ever for her. It is actually her birthday today; my little sister Guggi. She has come from Rio to experiment the cold atlantic waters and reunify with Joseph and myself , since our last trip to Costa Rica in february.

Him and i had decided to rent a house for the whole month of october and spend our time doing both mental and physical workout. In the morning participating in surf lessons, in the afternoon working on our projects with laptops on the sofa or simply doing some sight seeing in the area. We have also joined the local tennis club and received a yearly membership with a code to access the court. And there we play like real professional amateurs with jazz coming out of our portable music box placed by the net. Guggi meanwhile taking pictures of us because Joseph looks absolutely hilarious in his pink outfit. I realize that i am wearing the same clothes of shorts, leggings and t-shirts every time i come here.

He also wants to have horseback riding lessons, i want to do much more yoga, running on the beach by sunset , go and see friends for dinner or finish reading a book. But the most important thing, which is writing my own book, seems to be the least i do. I hate myself for that. Why the hell can‘t i go on with something that has absolut priority right now? But first i‘ll have a cup of tea, hang up the laundry , kill mosquitos in the bedroom , get rid of last night‘s birthday candle wax on the table , count the pieces of the domino we played last night, watch the drunken karaoke videos we did after playing domino and , last but not least, correct my eye brows with the tweezers in front of the mirror. And, of course, i also get rid of those two black hairs coming out every so often around my right breast.

Don‘t you say to seize the day?
