Procrastination

The above image is from "Life as a Polyface Apprentice."  It is not mine.  And this is why: 

I had said to myself that I was going to butcher the rabbits this weekend.  It was going to be warm.  Perfect time to do it.  Yet, I didn't.  I couldn't decide if they were big enough.  I know that they are about 2 1/2 months old, but they don't seem all that large in comparison to the parents.  In comparison to the second litter, they are a good size, but I still couldn't seem to make up my mind.  Truthfully, I'm think I'm just putting off the nasty.  So, to shake off excuse 1 (They're not big enough) I shut up the hutch with a couple first litter rabbits in it and picked one up.  Probably 4 pounds.  So a week or two won't hurt, I guess.  I just have to put my mind to it and do it.  If I'm going to be serious about the meat rabbits I need to be serious.  Someone at the Kingdom Hall found out I had meat rabbits and got so excited I was scared for their heart health.  It seems they want one, butchered, and for some reason that made me greedy.  I only have 4, I said to myself, and all the time and food it took really can't be compensated for, I said to myself, and one little rabbit won't satisfy their appetite, I said to myself....but I think it's just procrastination. 

Time to man up, Laura. 
I don't think it's working.
Sure it is.  You just need to go over the tutorial a few more times. 
Okay.  I'll study the steps til I could do it in my sleep.  Can I?
What?
Do it in my sleep?  That might be easier.
Wimp.
