Much ado about...something

How can a sunny and scorching summer's day be packed full of to-do's and you-better's??? Days like today literally boil my blood and annoy me.  I don't know if my rebellion to my mother's orders as a child has made me this way, or if I'm just a lazy bones, but I hate errands.  My TB test, a CPR card renewal, talking to my financial advisor, mailing a birthday card, returning a carpet shampooer, renewing a prescription.  BLAH...BLAH....BLAHHH! To-do things make me want to retreat into my turtle shell (if I had one).  For example, today I went and do a few errands and my reward was going to lie by the pool at the Drayson so I could read a book and relax.  What is it?  Why do I get so annoyed and put these to-do's off until they are all there at once?  I think it is the fear of being forced to do something I would rather not do, and then watching my day tick away, filled with waiting in lines and paying for menial "tests".  My days should be spent swimming in pools, going on walks, cooking, and lying on clean carpets.  My ears should be listening to the voices of my loved ones, or to my favorite band while I do things like paint or stretch or go on a jog.  Instead, I'm listening to the shrill classical music of my pharmacy's on-hold line.  Oh joy :) At least my heart is still beating.
