It was supposed to be sunny today but it is raining and I did not want to be wet.
But you made good use of your time! #1 is indeed a great word. #2 is eloquent. 3 and 4 are amusingly matched.

I thought of listing #9 as the profession I wanted, thinking that I could then get paid to read all day . . . but you're probably right.
This is great..Mine is on Tuesday cause I am doing a piece honouring my first 14 on OS :)
Got to love the people that read your stuff.
rated with hugs.
OS editor oh hell no what a great choice.. Great answers!
@ AtHomePilgrim

I like that one word alone could be considered eloquent.I strive to eschew loquaciousness.
@Linda S.
Tuesday it is. Thanks for the drop in.
@Lunchlady 2
No sense having somebody ticked off and cyber hollerin' at you all the time.
I love this post! How many professions have you attempted, and what were they. That is whole other story. #10 is my favorite. Please check out my list of 10. Thanks.
@Dave Rickert,
I did get over there to your digs. Hmmm?? All the jobs I tried? whew...
@Cindy Ross,
Never put off until tomorrow something you can put off until the day after that.
Sometimes it's just not worth it to finish. The antidote to perfectionism is learning when it's good enough. Which is a really smart sounding thing to say when one is just too lazy to wrap it up.
Hey, MI John fan, nice list. Your Martin sounds lovely.

Good old Sam Hill, and yes, no way I'd be an OS editor. I like your yin yang 3/4 and 5/6.
Onomatopoeia. Well done.
#1 is very fitting.
...and thanks to all of you who stopped in after my bedtime. It was nice of you to take your time.
#3, yes. Such a constant struggle for me. Lovely #5.
Especially love 5 and 6. I so understand those.
@ The Good Daughter,
People have much in common don't they?

@anna1liese,
I hope you've never had a tree fall on your house or property. It's spooky.

Thank you both for reading......
