though your promise count for nothing, you must keep it nonetheless

I didn't need to drive the kids this morning, and got this idea in my head that I'd head into work early to free up some time in my afternoon.  

Instead, I picked up the boy after school, stopped at the sporting goods store for a return, picked up some groceries, stopped home, got changed, topped off the oil in my car, out again for gas, grocery again for the things I didn't get the first time, made dinner, and....it's nearly 7:30pm.

I've been procrastinating with some stuff lately.  Reading, my business, writing, working out, house & yard.... Mostly things I can catch up on okay, but I've also been neglecting things I really ought not.  Like staying in touch with people properly.  I can chalk it up to being busy -- which is true -- but I'm really trying to keep a promise to myself to do a better job of it.
