Do you know that there is a saint invoked against procrastination? He's a saint for those who need things done right now, not tomorrow!
He is Saint Expedite,snd today, April 19th, is his feast day..
He is often called upon for help in overcoming delays and taking decisive action, stemming from the legend where he rejected the devil’s urging to postpone his conversion to Christianity.
In that story, depicted with him crushing a crow symbolizing "tomorrow" (cras in Latin) while holding a cross marked "today" (hodie),
he embodies swift resolution and is a popular figure for those seeking to combat procrastination or resolve urgent matters quickly.
Miraculous Prayer or Prayer for Urgent Matters
My Saint Expedite of urgent and just causes,
please intercede for me with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Succor me in this hour of affliction and despair,
my Saint Expedite. You who are a holy warrior,
You who are the Saint of the afflicted,
You who are the Saint of the desperate,
You who are the Saint of urgent causes,
protect me, help me,
give me strength, courage, and serenity. Hear my plea
(Here, clearly express your request and ask him to find a way to grant it.)
My Saint Expedite, help me to prevail through these difficult hours,
protect me from all those who want to harm me,
respond to my plea with urgency.
Bring me back to the state of peace and tranquillity,
my Saint Expedite. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life
and I will speak your name to all those who have faith. Amen.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
