Confession procrastination

Why do I keep putting off going to Confession? I'm not embarrassed. I don't even have anything that horrible to confess. Sometimes I lose track of time or forget. Other times I come up with excuses. I did go about a month ago but the line was so long that the priest didn't have time to hear all the confessions. I haven't received Communion in over a month. I've missed the last two First Fridays (I was trying to keep the "Nine Fridays" Sacred Heart devotion).

I had planned to go to Confession tonight, but I'm already undressed and in bed. Tomorrow night I could go before Bible Study, but I don't want Fr. John to recognize my voice. Excuses, anyone? I'll have two opportunities to go on Friday at work. I think I'll try the 4:00 because I think Fr. Philip does that one, and I've never gone to him before. If for some reason that doesn't work out, I'll go Saturday afternoon. I'm determined to go before Sunday.
