A Wasted Day
There are many days I can’t work because I have other pressing activities. That’s frustrating, but it’s a neccessary evil. Today, however, I had time to work, and wasted it. That’s beyond frustrating. It leaves me deeply depressed.
Of course, I suppose I was depressed to begin with, since instead of working, I stewed the whole day long in stressful thoughts about my inability to face the future with my current resources (mental as well as physical). It was one of those days when my inadequacies pointed and laughed at my aspirations, and even at noon, the sun shone grey. I ate too much, tasted too little.
I scrolled through various Word files on my screen, but typed nothing. I thought about painting, but baskets of laundary were piled between me and my art desk. I thought about doing laundary, but returned to my computer.
Scrolled some more, typed nothing.
Worried some more, solved nothing.
Tommorrow, I am not going to worry, and I’m not going to even try to type one word. I think I’ll read. And try to go outside.
