I’d best  getagettin’
time is running out.
I best be gettin’
my ship together
before my Mama’s gone.
And…
I just gotta getagettin’
used to the idea that
things are goin’ to be different
at work next year.
And…
If I don’t getagettin’
takin’ better care of myself
then I won’t be getagettin’
to go nowheres very long.
And…
If I don’t getagettin’
on doing those things that need
getagettin’ to do,
they won’t getagettin’ done.

So! Quit yer procrastinating . . . Line all your ducks up in a row and just get to it. All it takes, Lori, is to get your mind right and everything will come into place. Starting today, maybe?

Ice,
I'll see what I can do about another one.
Never what will fall out of my head. ~L
