Pensive signs
I planned to write today…
Okay, that’s the same as most days but today I was sure I’d get something done. But first, I had the procrastinatory hankerings for some homemade pizza.
Off to the shop I strolled, trying to ignore the voices in my head telling me I was supposed to be dieting now, I was supposed to be saving money now, I was supposed to be trying to write right now, I was kinda pissed off by the road works and could’ve avoided it by not going to purchase the ingredients for said pizza.
I picked up my items. Pizza, chilli sauce, cheese, and various other secondary toppings and approached the checkout.
I paid for my purchases and procured my parcel of pizza particulars.
At home, after unpacking and preheating, I was about to toss my plastic bag into my kitchen cupboard full of used plastic bags which I plan on reusing one day…Maybe when I become a full-blown hoarder… when I came across an extra item.
A Pen.
Universe, are you trying to tell me something?
The Pizza is in The Oven… There’s No Turning Back Now.
So, it has come to this.
Pizza.
Damn you stomach and your pizza craving ways! Damn you to hell!
I still haven’t written anything, but I believe that with a full stomach, a rested brain and a clean house there will be nothing stopping me from working on my novel.
NOTHING!!!
Chronicles of a Mid-Week Three Day Weekend Part Three
We’ve come a long way in the last couple of days, haven’t we? This morning, I even managed to sleep in to a nice, comfortable 9 o’clock.
Although, since waking, I’ve had a strange feeling. An urge to be at work. It’s like I’ve gotten the days wrong and I’m currently supposed to be at work. I’ve had to check the date several times just to assure myself that it is Thursday. I’ve had to check my roster several times just to assure myself I’m not supposed to be at work on Thursday.
Tomorrow, Brain. Tomorrow.
I’ve had a pretty eventful uneventful couple of days so far and I’m feeling pretty accomplished in my procrastination.
Not only did I get everything clean and tidy, but I have a whole new living area configuration. I’m still getting used to it – several times I’ve come in through my door with a drink and almost dropped it on my bed, forgetting my desk is no longer there.
I had about half a day of just being downright lazy. A nap in the middle of the day? That’s just crazy talk!!
I’ve been thinking this morning, I should’ve thrown in some exercise (attempting to get back into a regular routine) and maybe even some writing as well.
But then, whilst cleaning, I made around fifty odd trips up and down the stairs – exercise.
And I’ve been updating this blog thing – Writing.
Okay, it doesn’t count toward actual writing but…
Screw you.
Been Napping
There are quite a few benefits of napping.
Including Less stress, increased alertness and productivity, improved memory and learning, increased cognitive functioning, motivation to exercise, boosting your creativity, making up for midnight tossing and turning and better health.
This is obviously what I had in mind when I napped away this afternoon. It was not, in no way, laziness.
Suckers.
Now, this evening may go one of three ways. It all depends on external variables. But I’ll be leaving it all to chance. I wonder how it’ll turn out.
Because sometimes things go my way.
