blogging in the morning

I usually write this blog in the evenings.  Often it's the last thing I do before I go to bed.  But here I am blogging at 9:00am in keeping with my sometimes title of "the great procrastinator."  My excuse?  I had my carpets cleaned yesterday.  By the way, it takes some special equipment to clean a 10th floor apartment.  They can't just run some hoses in from a truck parked in the driveway.  Happily, I was able to hire the same person who cleans the hallway carpets here and he did a great job.  To make it efficient and thorough, I moved small pieces out of the way - dining chairs in the kitchen, livingroom lamps in my bathroom, smaller pieces of furniture on the balcony and so forth.  After the cleaning was done, I was told to let the floors dry overnight, then vacuum everywhere, and then I can put everything back in place.  (Guess what I'm putting off doing today?)  Anyway, while sitting in the semidark, because I couldn't put the lamps back yet, watching NexFlix which is only available on my living room TV yesterday evening, I realized that I didn't have enough light to see my laptop keyboard.  I know, I know, I could have moved to the dining room where there is an overhead light but instead I opted to go to bed.  And that's enough explaining and procrastinating.  I'd better start vacuuming.
