How is it already 9:30 and where did this exhaustion come from?
Posted by Erin on November 6th, 2009 . Filed under: NaBloPoMo 2009 .Oh man, am I the only one who is super glad it is the weekend (even though I still have work to do)? I am ready to collapse. And I don’t know why. I’m happy that NaBloPoMo has started. I’m enjoying my work. I like having the office to work in instead of working on the couch.
Ahhh, the couch.
So today, after Will’s lunch break was over and he went back to work I settled in for a long afternoon of writing and just, well, writing. I have quite a few projects happening now and I want to make sure I stay caught up with all of them (’cause you know, when you don’t do the work, you don’t get paid!). And, for some reason that I’ll never be able to understand, the writing/get it done mode I had relished in all damn morning was not going to be picked back up no matter how hard I tried. So, in a fit of “arrrrgggghhh” I decided to work from my laptop in the living room. On the couch. With the television on as background noise because if music wasn’t going to do it and silence wasn’t going to do it, and sitting at a desk wasn’t going to do it, maybe sitting back in my usual “here’s where I make stuff with words” realm would do it.
Sometimes? I’m really dumb.
No kidding.
I couldn’t focus for crap. And I tried EVERYTHING I could think of. NOTHING worked.
God I hate it when that happens. And its always on the days when you’ve said “even though I don’t have a deadline for this, I will absolutely have it to you by this time on this day.” and then its that time on that day and you’re looking at what you have and thinking “oh my god, that’s crap.” And “how is it 9:30 and I haven’t written my NaBloPoMo post yet?”
So, I will be working tomorrow morning while Will has his dentist appointment. I kind of wanted to go into the city with him and maybe I still will–maybe I’ll lug this heavy ass laptop to the starbucks that is close to the dentist and just churn stuff out. Mabe a TOTAL change of scenery is what I need.
Or you know, the whole “I hate working on the weekends” thing will be good enough to power me through my stuff so I won’t have to do any MORE work over the weekend.
