No Motivation

 


It is the change of season that's making me lazy?  Well, not lazy, exactly, I've done ALL my exercises today (and there are a lot), walked 2 1/5 miles, tidied up the house.  Made an appointment for a Covid vaccine.  Made out a grocery order, caught up with emails and messages.

I'm lighting a fall scented candle in the mornings.  I love the seasonal scents, lot the little bit of light and hope from a morning candle.  We've had rain every day this week, no watering necessary.

There was the best visit with a long time friend who was passing through town, and, finally, that minestrone soup I've been wanting to make.

So maybe lazy isn't the right word, but it's something.  I'm not sewing, not doing committee minutes from two weeks ago,  not going outside between rain showers, not unloading the Diet Cokes in the car from the grocery order a week ago, not doing the reading for a Sunday meeting.  Today I didn't do the morning journaling and didn't make out a goal list.

I'm not depressed, that's not it.  And I know how to fix this.  Make a goal to work on those minutes for 15 minutes, sew for 30, read just one page, put a few things in the washer. Once i get started I'll be on my way

Health wise, there's nothing wrong.  I got a wonderful report from the corneal surgeon on Monday.  I just don't want to commit to getting started, moving forward.

Maybe tomorrow.

I put stuff in the washer and on a visit to pee- noticed I hadn't moved anything to the dryer...that's done and a timer set to fold.
