Brrr!

[desperance]

Mornings have become quite complicated, since the advent of the LHP. Having laptop, am almost obliged to travel. So where I used to be very casual about going to the Lit & Phil, now suddenly I need to be organised. I need to take the laptop - which needs to be charged up - plus whatever else I'm working with, book or document or notes. And if I'm taking that much, then I want to be there long enough to make it worth my while: which makes it sensible to take a flask of coffee, to save myself a couple of quid and guarantee a decent brew. Which means not just making the coffee and remembering to put it in the flask, but also remembering to put the flask in the bag (for yes, I have failed at both of those this week). And then I'm almost out of the door when I remember that whatever-it-is I'm working on, I was working on it on the desktop last night, which means I have to dump that version onto a data-key for transfer to the laptop when I get to the library. And then I have to remember to take the data-key. And...

And this morning I have done all of that, and I am positively poised to go - and it's blizzarding a gale out there, unless it's galing a blizzard. Do not want. It's cold enough in here; it'll be a lot worse out there. And it's a twenty-minute trudge to the library, and, y'know. I just don't want to. But now that I've got myself all organised to go, what am I going to do if I stay? I have firmly allotted today's work to the library. Stay here, and I'll just dither.
