Writer's Block

I'm under deadline for an article and not feeling very creative, which makes this the perfect time to:

• Dust window blinds
• Crawl on floor and dust baseboards with old toothbrush
• Launder dustrags
• Walk Olivia
• Brush Olivia
• Post a picture of Olivia on Facebook
• Ding Jenny, Terry and Don that it's their turn to play "Words with Friends"
• Balance my checkbook
• Remove all plates from dishwasher and manually wash instead
• Walk Olivia again
• Visit Netflix website and give Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter a "liked it" rating. Who knew the Civil War was won because of silver bullets?
• Scroll through 600 photos of Israel and search in vain for one, just one, picture of myself in which I look better than the camel
• Blog about being under deadline and not feeling very creative.

Sigh....
