bending_sickleI'm having a hard time getting my shit together and doing anything at all. I should be knee-deep in 5 hours of work by now, and instead I'm just starting the day. It's taken me 3 hours to get up, have breakfast and get groceries. This lack of work does not bode well for the coming 3 months.
It's not that I'm on a procrastinating spree either. That would involve squee and focus. I'm all out of that. I only keep doing the internet rounds, refreshing pages or checking the same comms over (and over) because it beats staring at the wall. Also, the habit is too deeply ingrained. I'm not enjoying it, though.
I keep stumbling head-first into these mental blocks, or wandering off some metaphorical beaten path because ooh look, grass! Even now, after every few words I'm just stopping. Just right there, in the middle of some sentence, stopping and staring at some random corner of my room. Just blank.
And it's not just mental-stoppage either. I'll literally be walking down some street, or up the stairs or in the shower, and I'll stop. Just stop whatever I'm doing - or want to, because apparently nothing'll stop the legs from walking when in public. Going out this morning I stood in front of the door for a bit, not really thinking, just staring at the peephole.
Crap. I'm just sitting here, knowing I want to say stuff and I'm all blank and non-moving and snivelling.
Ok, not snivelling; it's monsoon season now.
Ponitless. Just pointless.
In other news, I bleedin' hate dictionary.com's Word of the Day thingy. Why? Because the English word fo the day is facticious. Spanish word of the day? Amarillo. Fucking yellow. And it's always like that. Dude, it's a "word of the day", not a "learn Spanish in 2 weeks" webpage. If you can put obscure words in English, damn well do it in Spanish too. That, or tomorrow's English Word of the Day better as hell be dog.
ETA: I'll have you know it's taken me over 40 minutes to write this tripe. I am that slow today.
