23 September 2021, Somewhere in the Metaverse - UplandDood (@Just1Dood)
You read right. Today, I have decided not to write an article. It's not because I'm not in the mood nor because I'm feeling lazy. For once, I have decided not to write not because of either reason.
I'm sure you must be curious as to what other reasons I have for not writing. No? Not curious? Doesn't matter. I'm gonna share it anyway. I want my readers to know why I don't want to write today. I'm accountable for that.
Here comes the Reasons
1. Driving was involved
I've had a long day. Today was an outing with the family to an orchard for some needed work. And this long day involved quite a bit of driving. Those of you who drive know that it can be very tiring. Driving demands attention, especially on trunk roads where there is on-coming traffic and crazy drivers overtaking on either side of the road. Add some sun shining into the car and you know how tiring that can get.
Anyway, once at the destination, I did a perimeter inspection of the orchard to ensure that all is well. Yup, we were there to have a look at the semi-neglected orchard. The next step was to start collecting and or salvaging any fruits left for us to gather after nature has had its share.
2. Physical work was involved
Guess what? No orchard visit is complete without some physical work. Enter the token physical work. Today was a hot day. Needless to say, this brief physical work was done under the scorching sun. I am quite certain I have my full dose of Vitamin D for the day. Maybe enough to last the whole week or maybe a whole month.
I haven't been out much in a while and obviously not in the greatest of shape to be in any physical work. That token physical work was just enough to clear some overgrown grass and bushes...in one small area. LOL. As long as I only look at that small area and not at the other untouched areas, I was quite satisfied and happy.
Drenched in sweat, I call it quits and yeah, it was time to "Load 'em up, Move 'em out!". That was that. We left with some fruits.
3. More Driving was involved
Tired but still needed to drive to get home. Almost two hours' worth.
We had stopped halfway on the way back to get some grilled chicken chop. Opted not to dine in. Upon reaching home, I was tired and hungry. Didn't take long to finish my dinner, rested a while on my favorite chair. After which, I took my shower. The shower had given me a craving for something sweet which I gladly proceed to satisfy. Headed to the freezer and grabbed a chocolate-coated ice-cream popsicle. That hit the spot. Ice cream always does. Right? That is why it is an essential food group in my book.
4. I don't have images to share
Duly satisfied, I'm now sitting down, in front of my computer and was thinking whether to write or not to write an article for today. I mean, I do have a topic I have wanted to write about. And I do have another completed article with 10 NFT giveaways to be published after another round of review. But I thought, heck with it. I'm not gonna force myself to do something I enjoy doing. I will take a break.
And now you know the reasons why I have decided not to write today. I hope you don't mind. Have a great remaining of the day.

Being one who travels often for business, which demands a lot of driving, I can definitely concur with the 'tiring' part. My "Wisconsin trip," as I call it, which right now I do every other month starts me off in Illinois, and puts me through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. The other one, also every other month starts off in Illinois and puts me through Missouri, and Kansas, and the Kansas one is almost like a two parter since I go from Wichita and back through Kansas City.
There IS a consolation. I get a break from the office and my wife. lol
