If what matters is sitting down, I have that covered today. We are on our second day off school (and work, for me), the fourth day of a four-day weekend, and I haven’t done very much at all. I went to the doctor’s office with my mom, where I did some listening but mostly sitting. I’ve tried to nap unsuccessfully and written some things in my planner that reminded me of the things I haven’t finished from last week’s lists.
If what matters is sitting down and actually writing, I do not have that covered today. I planned to do at least an outline for a new story, maybe some messy words sprawling across a fresh, white document screen. Instead, I’ve read (but just a little), done laundry (but just a little), ate pizza for lunch (but homemade), organized (but just a little), and basically did all of the things to avoid the thing I need to be doing.
Why is my brain refusing to do something I know I want to do?
If I knew the answer to that, I likely would be writing and not just musing and scratching my head here.
