5-minute freewrite day 698 prompt: a bunch of excuses
It's too cold out.
It's too hot out.
It's raining.
I'm too hungry.
I'm too full.
It's not my turn.
I'm too tired.
I forgot about it.
The dog ate it.
The cat barfed on it.
I had to stop to find the gerbil before I could leave the house.
I spilled food on my clothes and had to change.
There is a bunch of excuses out there for not doing things and for not being punctual. Children are usually the experts on making excuses, but adults know how to do it, too. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between an excuse and a reason. I think of excuses as something that could have easily been avoided, while a reason is an acceptable explanation. Is that they way it really works, or is that just my own idea? The older I get, the more frequently I find myself saying, "I forgot." Unfortunately, I really did. Writing things down helps immensely, but it isn't a sure solution.

Thanks @scribblingramma, and thank you for creating awesome content.
@scribblingramma My husband keeps a notepad on his desk, he writes down what needs to be done each day or what we run out of and needs to be bought at the store.
I use a Daytimer, which I refer to as my brain. Most things get written down in there, including appointments and errands lists and daily tasks to be done. But things still slip through the cracks now and then.
@scribblingramma I always intend to write things down but then I forget to do it. You have it together.
