Mañana, mañana...
I'm in procrastination mode. Nothing new, but it's been building up to new levels. I wasted (yeah, wasted and not waited) until the last day of the sale to try a bass amplifier. All the store had was one floor model. I didn't want a floor model and I wanted 2 identical, so they (supposedly) sent 2 from warehouse. One was in the original manufactures box the other was (obviously) a floor model (missing the owners instruction manual) put in a used cardboard box and packed it in Home Depot bubble wrap.Bubble wrap doesn't hold well on things weighing 40 pounds and the corner of the box crushed in transit, taking a chunk out of the corner of the speaker cabinet.
Two hours wasted with customer support and they are express delivering a replacement, but I have to returned the damaged amp at a UPS station.
I started charging batteries to fly model aircraft today and will finish this morning. I got to bed late and figure I'm at least 2 hours behind schedule. My original plan was to go to Miami, fly with some friends and after go to the salon for a haircut with the stylist I've used for a decade.
Mañana, mañana... I'll do that tomorrow.
mañana is Spanish for tomorrow. I use that word often.

I printed out this...some days it takes me all day to do nothing.
I blame it on age. Do that. Well..have to collect all the tools and stuff. Then do it. Then put it all back..sigh..tomorrow!
There are high energy days and low. But every year the low outnumber the high more and more.
Never put off til tomorrow, what you could have done last week and last year.
Besides..no one else cares.
I'm self employed and family responsibilities have taken priority so far this month.
There's been time, but I don't switch back and forth well.
The transition is where procrastination creeps in.
I see it was recorded 1947, but my recall is from the early 50s
Mañana, tomorrow. El mañana por la mañana, tomorrow morning. ¿Por que? !Porque! Sometimes it can be a slightly puzzling language.
Mañana mañana colloquially means meh, sometime, maybe never.
A guy asked a Scottish highlander what the equivalent is in Gaelic. He thought about it, then shook his head. "Therrre's no wurrrrd in Scottish wi' that degrrrree of urrrrgency."
Never put off til tomorrow, what you could have done last week and and wait til next year.
Age is worse. Not only do I lack energy, but have reached the who cares age.
As far as buying something, I am known to ponder til it is gone. Oh well..saved money. And there will be something else new next day.
