Today is downright "DISTRACTION" day. Most days, I get up and I hit the ground running. Today, was one of those, "Oh no really?" kind of days. It doesn't help that I stayed up until 2 watching movies because I could not sleep. Then at 9:30 I rolled out of bed to the dreary, rainy, cooler morning. I have two things at the top of my list. I started working on the first one and have been distracted ever since. It is now noon, and I feel no further along. The livingroom is the number one priority today. I generally let my time be consumed by my love of photography, so dusting is not on my list. The living room gets a dusting maybe every 3-4 months if that much. If you are allergic to dust, then we need to have lunch away from my house. This is in all seriousness. There is also a wall in this room that drives me crazy because I cannot figure out how to decorate it. Between two windows, equally in size, is a space that is almost the size of the windows. BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK. I have always struggled with trying to break up the "block" look. Today, I have come to the wall and have just lost all motivation.
     What is motivation, anyway? Is it really even necessary today?  On the theme of distraction, let me go on to say. The other day, a couple of friends and I were out exercizing, and I was talking about my new "hours" concept where my chores are listed within HOURS. Anyway, I was discussing how difficult it is for me to stay focused without lists. To which the friend replies that she has no idea how anyone has trouble doing their chores. "I just do them. Done. Finished. What's the problem." She also went on to say she can change the world with her "just do it" attitude. She used to run circles around her co-workers. Can you tell that I wanted to just lump her in the basket with my husband and send them to the whitehouse. Maybe she could be president and stay away from me with her "JUST DO IT" speech.
     Sometimes I just want an ear and someone who understood. Well, it was not her. After her spill, I wished I had never opened my mouth.
     Well today is one of those days. So if you are having one as well, hold your head up, cry if you need to, get some food, drink some water, and head over to my house for a hug. In three months when I come back to read this, it will all be a blur.

Once again, I tell myself, "STAY FOCUSED!"
