they gang awry

Robert Burns ....He Knew it Best

"But Mousie, thou art no thy lane
In proving foresight may be vain
The best-laid schemes o' mice an’ men
Gang aft agley
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain
For promis'd joy!"

My plans were laid

Foresight I had tried to prove

Promised joy was gleefully expected

And I wound up with grief and pain

^^^

Well, not quite so drastic

^^^

But that darn flu knocked me for a loop

And caused my plans to be put on hold

^^

I had planned:

* to get back to blogging and fill in the blanks on all the blogs I follow

*to shampoo the carpets

*to finish creating my craft room

*to take walks in the snow with my dog and my camera

*to get back to hockey

*to get caught up with various paperwork, nasty stuff that but it has to be done

*relax while playing Pogo and reading books

^^^

and what have I done?

Frittered the days away, thinking I'd do it tomorrow

when tomorrow came, which is no longer tomorrow

I found myself wiped out and in bed on most of my time off

and even during some of my time on

^^^

Now it is my time on, but I am taking time off to get at least one blog written

and will catch up on the rest bit by bit.
